In Scenes 1 and 2, we've taken the liberty of making contractions
where they should be, to create a smoother American style. In Scenes
3 and 4, the emphasis is on intonation and pitch jumps. Note
how the speaker always varies slightly the pitch change.
In this way, many subtleties of meaning are communicated and the
speech never sounds repetitive or "sing-songy". Instead, the intonation
communicates a great number of little messages suggesting tempos,
energy levels, and emotions that you would never glean from the
words alone. In Scenes 5 and 6, there is more emphasis placed on
linking words together, as well as continuing work on Structural
and Consonant Action.
