Practice · 3 min
Record Ananya's line "It's the music, actually. It's coming through my ceiling pretty loudly." Compare it with the model. "Actually" and "pretty" soften the complaint without hiding it. Then record her next line, where she gives a reason. A reason makes a complaint sound like a request, not an accusation.
