The Sensory Secret Framework

Narrative framework logic

Transcript excerpt

If they had the same exact script as 99% of the people in the world on a burner account where no one knew them, their videos are getting more engagement. And they've put in the reps, and they care about what they say. Those two alone go a very long way. But the other thing that sets them apart is their delivery. They're not just saying things like this. There's a cadence. There's a flow. There's voice inflections. So you're gonna go to their account, listen with your eyes closed. To even get more in tune with their style, start humming along to what they say. Because it's not just the words, it's how you deliver them. Do this with all your favorite creators, and you'll notice that they all have a very different flow, but there is a flow. There's a rhythm. Just being aware of it instead of just paying attention to the words allows you to think about your delivery.
