Pace, pause, and projection drills with a before and after recording

Stretch

Repeat this drill weekly for four weeks. Save before and after each time. After four weeks, listen to week one before and week four after; the gap is the size of the win you have already earned.

Goes into your portfolio

Two audio files voice-before.mp3 and voice-after.mp3 of the same paragraph plus the doc voice-drill-NN naming the three differences you heard.
