Over the past 7 weeks, I think I've definitely improved on my overall speed of shadowing. While the material I chose this time was still really challenging for me speed-wise, I managed to get close to what I wanted to achieve. I highly doubt that I could have come anywhere close to this in the first few weeks. I find that I still spend a lot of time reading over the material again and again until I almost have the sounds memorized in order to follow along. In the future, I want to try a mixture of monologues and dialogues (right now I've done more dialogues). I feel that monologues, where I wouldn't have to switch between characters and where the sentences are longer, would be more helpful with pitch while dialogues would be more challenging in terms of speed.
