The line to say

β€œHere we see the rare office worker, approaching the last biscuit with extraordinary caution.”

The judge scores how close you sound, whether you keep it up, your commitment, and whether you stick to the line. Up to 10 seconds, free, no sign-up.

How to do it

  1. Speak just above a whisper with plenty of breath in the voice.
  2. Use a soft RP accent with no R at word ends.
  3. Slow down and pause before the creature's action, then describe it with fascination.
  4. Let the pitch rise gently on the surprising detail, then settle.

The most common mistake

Losing the breathiness; it should sound like you are crouched quietly in the bushes.

Warm up with this

β€œHere, the commuter waits patiently, eyes fixed on the departure board.”
