Warm Up

You wouldn't walk on stage
without warming up first.

Start every session with a quick warm up — tongue twisters to sharpen your articulation, then easy questions to get your words flowing. So when the hard questions hit, you're already in the zone.

  • Tongue twisters to sharpen articulation
  • Easy questions to build momentum
  • Trains you to start talking immediately
  • Different warm up every session
