Retake
PRACTICE · EVERYDAY CONFIDENCE

Fewer ums. Less rambling. More “that person sounds sharp.”

Ten minutes a day to swap fillers for pauses and hedges for conviction — measured, not guessed.

NO SIGNUP · YOUR TAKE STAYS PRIVATE

Sound familiar?

  • “Um”, “like” and “you know” every few seconds — and you can't hear them.
  • You apologise and hedge until your point disappears.
  • Put on the spot, you ramble.
WHAT ONE TAKE LOOKS LIKE

Say it. Get marked up. Fix one thing. Retake.

THE PROMPT

Introduce yourself to a new colleague you want to impress.

TAKE 1 — WHAT YOU SAID

So, um, I'm basically on the product team, and I kind of work on, like, the onboarding stuff, you know, making it, uh, easier for people…

Eleven fillers a minute — the listener hears your hesitation before your job.

THE ONE THING FOR TAKE 2

Close your lips at every full stop and breathe where the “um” used to be.

FILLERS / MIN

11.2 → 1.4

Take 1 → take 3 (illustrative)

Hear how you really sound — in 60 seconds.

“Introduce yourself and what you do, as if to a new colleague you want to impress.”
