The Voice Message

Shadowing practice
- Start with a whisper of confidence that quickly wobbles once the “recording” moment hits.
- Let your pace stutter on the second and third attempts so listeners feel the urge to tap delete.
- Describe each background noise with playful annoyance, like you’re narrating bloopers in real time.
- Drop your tone when you confess that your recorded voice doesn’t sound like “real you.”
- Speed up slightly while explaining how many drafts you trashed—it should feel like a montage.
- End with a relaxed sigh when you admit you just sent a text, as if you finally gave yourself permission to stop.
Tip: Let the recording jitters come through so the final “whatever, send it” moment feels earned.
