Articulation

A partner who plays along. A coach who knows when to speak.

The problem

Practicing small talk out loud is hard to do alone.

What I built

  • A Dutch and English speaking coach: an Actor plays the conversation while a Director watches how you speak.
  • The Director may only cut in at a safe pause, and only as often as your chosen intensity allows.
  • An 8-dimension rubric, a 5-rung practice ladder and 4 intensity levels.

How it stays safe

  • Live coaching stays gentle by default, and the Coach me button puts you in control.
  • Not launched, and not yet run end to end.

Anatomy
