Is it possible to practice your chorusing method with recordings?

Yes, that's how I do it myself, in the absence of a teacher & chorus or other live interaction. Commuting by car about 45 minutes each way, I spend most of that time listening over and over again on a small number of utterances that I've recorded from any source, even old language courses on cassettes, and burnt on a CD with very short tracks, each the length of one breath group. I set the player on "repeat 1" and have my ears and brain "saturated" with an utterance. Then I'll start saying it in chorus with the CD. Initially with a very large sound that "pushes" my speech apparatus the right way (mirror neurons, I presume). Then with gradually softer and softer CD sound, until I'm saying it by myself. While the quantitative progress is rather slow, the qualitative success is inevitable, unavoidable. What little I can say, I really CAN say. |

Very good!
Okjhum, working alone, with one sentence mp3 tracks:
-Do you think using earphones are better than speakers?
-How many listening repetitions do you recommend?
-How many chorus repetitions with one track recording do you recommend?
I guess more repetitions than the ones you recommend with the real chorus method (10-15 and 100).
Thank you.
