Say it out loud — the ear catches what the eye misses.

Volume

Record-and-compare drills against a model reference at varying volume.

Why this drill

Volume is a room problem, not a voice problem. The drill trains a level you can hold without strain.

How to use it

Use the meter to find each zone by ear first — don't try to hit a target level from memory.

Practice

Record & compare

Play the model line for pacing and content, then record yourself at each level below. Use the meter further down to find the zone first, then try landing in it without looking.

QuietLibrary voice — barely above a whisper, but every word still clear.
