12 Speak naturally into the microphone

Before you speak, take a calming breath. Speak at normal speed; you have plenty of time to respond so you don’t have to rush. Speak at normal volume, neither too softly nor too loudly. Keep speaking; if you remain silent for more than three seconds, the microphone will close and stop recording your response.
