Lesson 3 of 3

Make room between phrases

Use meaningful pauses to avoid rushing several ideas together.

Follow the steps

Read the three short sentences below silently. Each sentence gives you a possible place to pause.
Say the first sentence, pause, and take a comfortable breath if you need one. Continue with the next sentence when ready.
Repeat the message once. Do not force a breath at every punctuation mark or try to finish the whole message in one breath.
Try your own two-sentence update. Leave a pause between the ideas and notice whether the ending stays comfortable.

Try it in speech

Here is the plan. We will try one version today. Tomorrow we will compare the results.

Mark a possible pause in your actual script. Change it if it interrupts the meaning.

Check your experience

I paused where the meaning allowed it.
I took a breath when I needed one.
I did not rush the ending to avoid another breath.

These are your observations, not a technique score. No camera or microphone is used.
