Let me briefly recap the new skills that you've now learned, practiced and have begun to master. Remember, element one was starting and ending sentences. In this element, you learn how to apply the golden rules go down, pause, energize. element to was create many sentences. Here you learned how to break up a longer sentence with mental commerce to create smaller blocks of information called mini sentences. Element three was read slowly.
Many people speak too quickly. And in this element, you learn how to slow down your reading by stretching out words. Element four was read softly in this element You found and learned how to use that soft, breathy How are you darling? You look divine. Number five voice. Element five was read with energy and enthusiasm.
Here you learned how to pump more air out of your lungs using your diaphragm to read with an increased sense of energy. Element six was emphasized red flag words. These are instructions from the author. And now I want you to practice combining the previous six elements all at once. This is element seven. Put it all together.
Now I want you to read and record a room of one's own and the Polar Express. And as you do so, combine the elements that you have already learned and practiced. When you're ready to record, press pause, press play as soon as you're ready to continue Now I'd like you to playback your first recording from a room of one's own and the Polar Express, you might notice a huge improvement in the way you read. The only way to improve is practice and repetition. Practice and repetition is the reason Rudolph Nureyev became the world's most acclaimed ballet dancer. And practice and repetition is the reason Dame Judi Dench is a great After practice and repetition is the way to preserve and access all the learnings you've had in this course, you must make certain that each of these elements is second nature to you, so you don't have to think about them.
I've said many times that you have to practice every day for an hour, I would strongly recommend that you practice and repeat what you've learned to fully embed the learnings in your mind. So I suggest you practice each element on its own until it's perfect. When you're satisfied with all these elements, you can combine them. But repetition on its own is not as effective as it could be. Why do you practice you must think of yourself as a producer. In other words, you must recognize your mistakes and criticize yourself when you get something wrong.
Remember, you've been developing your speech patterns since you uttered your first word. We have all practiced our mistakes for years. So It's obvious that it would take quite a bit of practice self awareness and honesty to develop the correct habits.
