The timer

Minute Task
0:00–0:45 Listen to the clip only (20–40s looped if needed)
0:45–2:15 Shadow continuously—prioritize staying with audio
2:15–3:30 Shadow stressed words only
3:30–4:15 Chorusing: speak in gaps between phrases
4:15–5:00 Solo: say one phrase three times without audio

Picking today’s clip

Same clip three days in a row before you switch. Familiarity is the secret.

Success criteria

You win if you finish the solo step—even if it sounded rough. Rough + finished beats perfect + skipped.

Level-ups (optional)

  • Week 2: increase speed toward 1.0×
  • Week 3: add a second solo phrase
  • Week 4: try a podcast clip (guide)
