I do this too, and other people often comment on how well I read out loud.
I often find myself buffering words into vocalization while I read ahead a line or so and prepare the next sentence. I can insert pauses (or intone a clause as an aside) to make it easier for the listener to parse.
What tricks do you have?
- jacobolus 7y agoI have been reading kids books aloud for maybe 2 hours per day for the past 2 years (to an almost-3 year old), and at this point I can do a pretty decent read-aloud including voices etc. while also considering some unrelated technical problem in my head. The catch is that if I am thinking about something else simultaneously then what I am reading aloud doesn’t make it into memory; I can read for 20 minutes and then suddenly realize that I have no idea what happened in the story. The reading is on autopilot.
