Practice · 3 min
Record Kenji's first line, "Poppy, got a minute? It's nothing serious. Well, it's a little bit serious." Say "nothing serious" lightly, pause, then slow down on "a little bit serious." Compare with the model. Taking back your own softener is a friendly way to warn someone that a real complaint is coming.
