0389 - How To Talk To Time

2022.01.24 – S2024 – 0389 - How To Talk To TimeA sense of timing can be developed in the same way as an experienced driver can tell the speed of a car as it passes, or while they’re in it, and with experience you will be able to slightly adjust your reading rate ‘speedometer’ (or a ‘read-ometer’!) to say, shave a second or two off a script:·        Taking shorter breaths – or longer ones (that can be edited out) that will allow you take fewer breaths over the duration of the script·        Slightly increasing the intonation may give you the licence to speak slightly faster·        Contracting words and pauses – but be careful not to gabble. Making the words fit a longer duration is not always as simple as slowing down:·        Pauses can be a bit longer and micro-pauses can perhaps be added after key words or phrases.·        Words may be drawn out a little. But you can’t just read. Each. Word. Followed. By. A. Pause. You still have to have flow and maintain a meaning with what you’re reading. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
