Last updated

What it is

A practice methodology that involves recording yourself speaking, critically reviewing the performance for specific elements, and iteratively improving based on identified gaps.

Before & after

Before

Practicing in your head without external feedback or objective assessment of actual performance quality.

After

Recording 5-minute segments, noting 'said um 12 times' and 'rushed through key benefit,' then practicing those sections specifically.

When you’ll use it

Presentation prep: Record full run-through, note filler words, pacing issues, unclear transitions, then practice those specific elements

Interview practice: Record mock interviews, review for confidence, clarity, and compelling examples, then re-record improved versions

Pitch development: Record elevator pitches, analyze for timing, value proposition clarity, and call-to-action strength

Pro tip

Your phone is your best coach. Record everything, review objectively, practice the gaps.
