Tami Tape

A Tami Tape (named after Tami Frazier) is when you practice the same take over and over until you get it perfect. I repeatedly had one error in this one, but it is because it is a proper name, and I didn't want to define it in my dictionary. I also realized after watching the recording that I wrote "regiment" instead of "regimen."

This method is what made my realtime escalate so quickly when I was in school. I went from having horrible notes at 200 to realtiming 200/10 four voice within six to eight months.

What I like to do is analyze my writing each time. Figure out what I can do shorter, cleaner, and better. I then try and apply that to the next take. If I can do one or two of those fixes that I saw in the next take, I am happy. And then I try and use them from then on and find a couple more things I can do better. I then repeat until I see perfection.

This works for both building your speed and realtime. Speed comes when the strokes are muscle memory, and you don't have to think about them. So if you train yourself over and over doing the same strokes, you are going to gain speed on those strokes. As long as you aren't writing out a crazy amount. I would be amazed if someone who writes out could write this take. I would love to see their realtime!

It took me 18 tries to get this particular 30-second dense 240 wpm literary almost perfect.
