Here is how it went.

The detail behind each score

Members only

Each score above is made up of smaller scores. Members see all of them for every take, and how they change over time.

Work on this in take two

Try it again with that one change and see if your score goes up.

Take one, then take two

What changed

That was only two takes
Members usually do four or five takes of the same sixty seconds, using the words they will actually say in their meeting. Scores go up because each take comes with one specific thing to change.
How to get better at this

You just used the Practise Room for four minutes. Members use it as often as they like.

Rehearse the real words for your real meeting as many times as you want, with every score, your progress over time, and a new note from Mara after each take.
