How to Fix Poor pacing in Shorts

The Problem

The rambling problem: Why your solo videos run too long

Without someone to guide the conversation, you naturally over-explain. You add tangents. You circle back to points you already made.

There's no one to signal 'got it' or 'tell me more about that.' So you keep talking, unsure if you've made your point clearly.

The absence of conversational structure means your content becomes a stream of consciousness instead of a focused discussion.

Why Current Solutions Fail

Why existing solutions don't solve this

Notes don't talk back

Bullet points and outlines give you structure, but they don't create conversational flow. You still end up talking at the camera.

Teleprompters flatten delivery

Reading from a script makes you sound robotic. It removes the natural pauses, reactions, and follow-up thinking that make content engaging.

'Just practice' doesn't solve structure

Recording yourself multiple times without feedback doesn't improve the underlying problem: there's no one to guide the conversation.

Understanding the Solution

Why follow-up questions unlock deeper thinking

The best insights don't come from prepared statements—they emerge when someone asks 'why?' or 'tell me more about that.'

Follow-up questions force you to articulate the reasoning behind your initial response. This is where clarity happens.

Solo recording can't replicate this. You need an active participant who responds to what you actually say.

How Olyetta Works

How Olyetta works: A structured conversation, not a script

Unlike teleprompters or note cards, Olyetta actively listens to your responses and adapts.

It asks clarifying questions, challenges assumptions, and guides the conversation toward depth—not just coverage.

The result is content that feels like a real interview, because it is one.

Dynamic questioning

Each question is based on what you just said, not a pre-written list. This creates genuine conversational flow.

Natural delivery cues

The AI gives you the feedback signals your brain needs—acknowledgment, follow-up, pacing—to maintain natural delivery.

Exportable transcripts

After recording, get a clean transcript, outline, and key hooks you can use for editing or repurposing.
