The gapCopying a communicator you admire and arriving as neither of you.
When to use it
After a stretch of heavy technique work.
The steps
- Record yourself communicating naturally.
- Identify the behaviours you are consciously performing.
- Mark each one useful, unnecessary, or artificial.
- Remove the artificial ones.
- Keep what genuinely improves clarity or connection.
- Perform again.
- Compare naturalness and effectiveness.
You know it worked when
More effective, and not feeling like acting.
What else it works, and why
- Intent
- Authenticity needs alignment between what you intend and what you express.
- Delivery
- Artificial vocal and physical behaviour makes it read as performance.
- Connection
- Authenticity decides trust and relational credibility.
