The Rehearsal Lab

Rehearsing by reading the outline in your head does nothing for either code. Pick the setting you are actually speaking in, then run the voice pass out loud against this timer — start it, read the passage, tap the button every time you hear yourself say um. Then score the rubric honestly and the lab will hand you one channel to work on. One. Skill stacks; it does not install.

Where are you speaking?

Pass 2 · Voice. Out loud, with a stopwatch.

Read this aloud at the volume you would actually use. Every / is an idea boundary — breathe there. Do not try to sound good; try to sound like yourself on the day.

Pass 4 · Score it honestly

Eight dimensions from the chapter’s rubric. Score the run you just did, not the run you meant to do.
