![Sketch of a recording studio: through the glass, Waverly leans into the microphone, jabbing a finger mid-rant, beside an empty director's chair marked WAVERLY. In the foreground a director in a headset holds a script marked up in red with [pause] and [angry], and a hand snaps a clapperboard reading: Directing Waverly, Lesson 2, Timing and Attitude, Take 2.](../images/lesson2-clapper.webp)
Lesson 2 · About 8 minutes · Your own path
Welcome back to the director’s chair
You’ve made it to Lesson 2. In Lesson 1 you directed how Waverly mangles the big words he reaches for to sound clever. Now you’ll direct how he delivers a whole line: when he pauses, which words he leans on, and the attitude behind them. One step closer to directing AI voices that can’t take a note, at a Hollywood level.
As before, you’ll hear real AI takes, decide what’s wrong, and write your own direction. An AI coach reads what you write and chooses what you do next. (New here? Lesson 1 comes first, but you can start with this one.)
