Improving Your Phrasing

Al Joseph

This tutorial is about improving your phrasing. This is a very difficult topic for the following reasons: 1. Everyone has their own tastes 2. Everyone hears thing differently 3. Laziness Let's focus on the third point on the list. I don't mean lazy in a sense that most of us don't want to work hard. But it is said that the older and more experienced you get, the harder it is to absorb material. Absorbing material is key when developing your phrasing. Listening is key in this area.
