  • Video Paragraph Reading: 

    Please record a video (approximately 30 seconds) of yourself looking at the camera and reading the following paragraph aloud at a natural pace:


    "Tell Stacy to shush since it's she who isn't pronouncing her consonants for instance. Stacey insists such choices are simple, but her justification seems strange. Success is just a measure of social justice, she says. She possesses exceptional intelligence, so this casual decision is a surprise. Perhaps she just sees this specific situation as less serious than her professional sessions. Honestly, it's a strange subject. Stacey's usual decisiveness is missing. We should just present our suggestions and cease discussing the issue."
