Don't let your volume drop

I forgot to bring my keys. This is something that might even happen to you in your first language. I've been waiting for 20 minutes, and not I've been waiting for 20 minutes. I've been waiting for 20 minutes. You lift the word minutes. It almost feels like people put a lot of energy into the beginning of the sentence, and then when it's at the end, they're— they check out. And the thing is that in English, usually the last content word in the sentence is the one that gets most of the stress or is the focus word, which means that it needs to be lifted. I forgot to bring my keys versus I forgot to bring my keys. I forgot to bring my keys.
