Hardware

  • Closed-back headphones reduce mic bleed if you record.
  • Phone stand at eye level for posture.
  • External mic (optional) for clearer self-review.

Software habits

  • A–B loop players or apps that repeat 20–40s
  • Speed control (0.85–1.0×)
  • Voice memo for 10-second checks

Physical setup

  • Stand or tall chair—lung volume helps articulation.
  • Keep water nearby; dry mouth kills consonants.

Weekly structure

Day Focus
Mon New clip—listen only
Tue–Thu Shadow + solo phrase
Fri Record 30s—compare endings
Sat Optional song chorus (songs)
Sun Rest or light 5-minute workout

Housemates and noise

Whisper-shadowing is weak for consonants. Prefer short sessions when you have 10 minutes alone.
