Shadowing practice
  • Listen once to catch the speaker’s rhythm and where they slow down on key ideas.
  • Shadow sentence by sentence, copying the calm, steady delivery that signals patience.
  • Record yourself repeating the advice and notice where your tone shifts between caution and encouragement.
  • Highlight phrases like “earned trust” or “small promises” and practice linking the words smoothly.
  • Loop the last line about risk until you can say it confidently without speeding up.
  • Write down one expression you want to reuse, then say it out loud in a new context.

Tip: Mirror the speaker’s pauses—they help the message feel thoughtful instead of rushed.
