What’s your go-to move when a minister jumps from 140 to 210 wpm mid-briefing? I hold a 3–4 second EVS, compress modifiers, and switch to chunking, but around minute 18 of a 30-minute stint my pulse spikes and diction tightens — how do you keep the delivery polished without blowing the buffer?
I’ll briefly cut EVS to about 2s and go “verbs first,” splitting subclauses into clean sentences, and I park non‑critical qualifiers/numbers for recap; it’s like downshifting on a hill. Pre-building a mini list of the minister’s pet collocations lets you pre‑chunk and buy back the buffer around minute 18.
