Cadence π€
Cadence in essence is about pausing. Do not talk straightforward, where you ignore the commas and periods. In writing you see the (,) and (.), but in speaking you can't see it. Learn to pause, make people wait for the next sentences. Here is an example:
- Without: I can see the clouds in the red sky move so fast past my eyes.
- With: I can see the clouds, in the red sky, move so fast past my eyes.
(Between the two, the first had no commas, means no pauses. The second had commas, therefore you have to pause.)
