Hayley and Lauren, welcome to Most Powerful Women.
2
We've been talking about making this happen for a very long time, so it's a real thrill to have you both here.
3
There's a lot to talk about.
4
I want to start with the acquisition, which Claire just alluded to in the introduction.
5
It was massive, it was a juggernaut,
6
it made headline news, and you launched it in 2022 and then you sold it to Elf Beauty three years later.
7
So Hayley, what convinced you at that moment that selling was the right step rather than continuing independently?
8
Because you were doing pretty well independently.
9
I think for me it was really about it feeling like the right home for road and I think that
10
a really good partner and a really good home for an acquisition is very rare to come by.
11
I've heard a lot of stories from founders that had gone through acquisition and
12
had regrets and were not super happy with you know where their brand went
13
and so I went into it with a with a mindset of really wanting to know
14
that road was going to be safe where it was going
15
and knowing that the opportunity instinctually felt right and i think
16
that at the moment where we were as a brand we were approaching launching in sephora
17
and i think having elf as the partner behind us to really help accelerate
18
that growth and hold our hands as a brand
19
and be like we know how to do this we've done
20
it before we want to be great partners to you guys in this next step
21
and this next phase
22
and also just their sheer genuine love appreciation support for all the founders of all the businesses
23
that they've acquired prior um they really just made me feel safe knowing
24
that they were going to protect road and be a great partner
25
and i felt like i wasn't going to find
26
that ever again what does feeling safe when you're talking about road look like
27
and feel like to you where there are a couple of tangible things that you specifically had to be sure of?
28
Yeah, I mean, I think the safety feeling is
29
that they really made me feel like they wanted to just be a support to Rode.
30
They told me, we don't want to come in.
31
We don't want to change anything.
32
We really want you to continue operating exactly how you are.
33
In fact, we want to have you increase your role inside the company.
34
We really want to make sure you're just as hands -on, if not more, which I actually am now since the acquisition.
35
and they really wanted to make sure that I felt supported as a founder
36
and they explained and told me in detail how they've supported every other founder of every other brand
37
that they'd acquired and what they do and how they do it and I just, again, I think you have to trust that
38
and you have to follow your instinct and instinctually I felt
39
that they were going to be a really good place for Road to go.
40
And Lauren, you
41
and Hayley work incredibly closely together
42
you're also very close personal friends um did you two agree at the same time
43
that selling was the right option
44
and also was there a strong argument against not selling
45
that you had to work through as a team yeah i mean i think for both hayley
46
and i road is our baby um we've poured our lives over the last five six years into it
47
so i think we felt like the sky's the limit with road
48
and there was so far that we could go
49
but we had a small mighty nimble team
50
and we felt like we had taken it as far as we could with that team.
51
And we really needed the infrastructure of a bigger partner to scale globally.
52
Haley always talks about, you know, wanting to take a road to more spaces,
53
faces, and places, and being able to tap into the infrastructure of Elf
54
and have them sort of supercharge the business and allow us to scale globally, I think was really important to both of us.
55
So I think we sort of decided at the same moment that it was the appropriate time.
56
Was there anything you were worried about?
57
Either of you?
58
I would say for me, the worry was that it wasn't the right decision.
59
I mean, I think you have to have those conversations
60
and think about the what -ifs but what was nice is I think me
61
and Lauren and her husband who's our other co -founder really felt very confident
62
and were in agreement that this was the right move
63
and this was the right moment and I think
64
when you have the synergy of all feeling good about it also makes the decision seem even more right
65
and I think there's concern potentially that
66
if you're acquired the acquires going to sort of start meddling in the business
67
or they're going to direct the way that you should move forward
68
and i think elf were very clear
69
we're not going to fix what's not broken
70
you guys are doing an incredible job
71
you have a secret special sauce sort of you have a unique path
72
we just want to sort of supercharge the back end
73
and let you guys do what you do best you know keep your marketing
74
and creative integrity and keep building like you guys are
75
and hayley you said you're actually more hands -on
76
now than you were prior to the acquisition i think we'd be really interested to know
77
which decisions post acquisition are still exclusively yours to make.
78
I mean, pretty much all of them.
79
Like they really, everything that they said before we were acquired, they have stuck to a hundred percent.
80
They have really just let us fly and let us continue to make every decision.
81
And of course we
82
now incorporate them in decisions and we speak about everything
83
and they're really so amazing
84
and always on board i think the way
85
i'm more involved is like my role got bigger
86
i'm now a strategic advisor to all of elf beauty at large as well which is really cool and really fun
87
what does that look like what does
88
that role look like as of right now it's just talking about some of their product
89
and you know suggesting product that i could see for them
90
and any question they have for me they can come to me
91
and ask me hey what do you think about this product will you test this for us
92
so that's been fun for me too
93
because i get to kind of you know be helpful any way i can to to elf too um
94
and then my role expanded into chief creative officer
95
which i i wasn't that title before although i was still in all of the creative
96
and all of the product development I'm still even more
97
so just really like have dove into that was my one fear really was
98
that I would sell my company
99
and then they were going to say okay we're going to put this person in
100
and this person in and then we want to make the team bigger around product development
101
and that I would start feeling like I didn't have as much say
102
and I feel like I actually have just as much as I did before
103
and I'm so intricately involved because like Lauren said it's my baby
104
It's our baby.
105
We've grown it from literally day zero ground up.
106
And I told
107
Elf all of my concerns from the beginning.
108
I said, I couldn't imagine not being intricately involved.
109
And they were like, oh my gosh, we want you to be more involved if you want to.
110
And that to me, I was like, I feel like you never hear that from an acquirer,
111
that they want you to be like so in it as you were before, and if not even more than you were before.
112
So it really has been genuinely the dream scenario
113
they are such a dream partner I really couldn't be happier with selling early in the brand's trajectory
114
or the goal for you too or was it something
115
that evolved it was never even
116
it was of course always a future conversation of maybe
117
that's where we're gonna go there's a lot of different paths you can take
118
so you don't really know and I think
119
because the opportunity kind of took us a little bit by surprise I don't think
120
that we thought maybe it was gonna happen right at that time did they come to you you allowed to say that?
121
I don't think we're going to get into how it came.
122
I'm going to say who went to who,
123
but yeah, I don't think we at that moment were thinking this is what we're going to do right now.
124
But again, like Lauren said, I think wanting to supercharge the business and launching into retail, it just, it feels good to have
125
that security behind you of a company who really is
126
so great at what they do and can come in and support the infrastructure.
127
And road is really only just getting started
128
and the company says
129
it wants to pass a billion dollars in net sales huge
130
in fiscal 2026 road did roughly 390 million in net sales
131
which was an 80 percent increase on the year before
132
so what has to go right now to hit that target
133
that you've set for yourself
134
that one billion dollar figure I mean I think we need to we've proven
135
that we can be successful at retail and we need to keep doing
136
that so we we entered Sephora in the US last September
137
and we're actually the number one brand in all of the retail geographies that we're in.
138
So Sephora US, Sephora UK, Mecca, and Australia.
139
And we just had an explosive launch into Sephora EU a couple of weeks ago.
140
In 19 new markets?
141
In 19 new markets, over 500 doors.
142
And we were the number one brand for Sephora EU.
143
And I think our first day of online sales for Rode
144
with Sephora EU actually surpassed the total Sephora EU Black Friday sales for the year prior.
145
So we've had an explosive launch into retail and I think we're going to continue to go strength to strength.
146
Lauren, we said in the introduction that you describe Rhodes' marketing strategy as surround sound.
147
I did have to Google that, obviously that's native to you guys.
148
So for anyone who doesn't know, it's a modern approach to marketing that doesn't rely on buying traditional ad space necessarily.
149
And actually this morning I was on Instagram
150
and organically a video came up of a tram somewhere in Europe wrapped in the Rhodes logo
151
but I'm interested in how you measure the ROI of that strategy
152
because traditional advertising has click -through rates you know
153
you have viewer figures what's your metric for success yeah
154
I don't think we really talk about ROI um we don't sit in meetings
155
and look at the return on investment no we don't
156
I think we built the brand in an incredibly organic way
157
and I think what was really important to Haley from the from the beginning was to build
158
this world of road that was not transactional.
159
That was really a one -to -one connection with our consumer.
160
Both Haley and I are not from a traditional beauty background.
161
I mean Haley was a big model in the fashion industry and my background was more in fashion and retail.
162
I worked at Reformation and Michael Kors and
163
when we looked at the fashion landscape there's so many brands
164
that build a true emotional connection with their consumer through visual storytelling
165
and visual language and we felt like in the skincare and beauty industry there was white space.
166
to do the same and to build a brand that really connected with consumers.
167
So the way that we approach world building
168
and this surround sound tactic is we're really trying to connect with our consumer and create desire.
169
I mean, the world of road, which we talk about, is sort of this extension of Haley's personal world.
170
It's aspirational, but accessible.
171
It's fun.
172
It's sexy.
173
It's playful.
174
And we really focus on marketing tactics that that boost that world versus looking at ROI.
175
And what I'm really interested in the world of road because it's so powerful
176
So you alluded to what belongs in it?
177
What doesn't belong in the world of road?
178
Even if it would sell well, do you ever think of that?
179
I think for me, I really am not interested in overconsumption I think the beauty space is very very filled as it is
180
and the whole ethos of road from the beginning was this
181
idea of one of each thing done really well one of everything good which
182
that concept for me came from the idea of you know
183
your perfect pair of jeans the perfect white tee the perfect jacket your perfect moisturizer your perfect lip product
184
you know these these things that I was like
185
if I was going on a weekend trip what would I
186
need to have in my bag as somebody who has been working since I was 17 years old
187
and traveling on my own for many years what were the must -haves I needed to have you know
188
when I'm on the plane and landing straight to a job
189
and like what do I you know need to have in my skincare must -haves
190
and beauty must -haves and
191
that is still the true ethos today
192
I'm not interested in putting a bunch of stuff out
193
there just to put it out there I actually want to make things
194
that I need and I love and every single product
195
that we have put out has been something
196
that I'm like it's always in my bag it's always traveling with me
197
it's always part of my routine these really on the go
198
I love the idea of like on the go stuff the blushes for me
199
it's like i want to make things that you stick in your bag
200
and they're really easy to use on the go
201
when you're out simple skin care first approach has always really been true to me my entire life um
202
and also you know we were talking before about roi and
203
and these things and i'm like you know a conversation about margins hates to see me coming i'm always
204
I'm always in the meetings like, I'm not, this isn't like about money for me.
205
It's not about like, you know, and of course you want to have a healthy business and I care about having a healthy business,
206
but I'm somebody who doesn't like to compromise anything
207
that I want to do and what my gut is telling me to do
208
and that I believe in for the sake of margin, which maybe is like the wrong thing to say, but like that is true for me.
209
I really I guess that's a position you can be and
210
because you have that enormous platform going into the building of road
211
A hundred percent and I think that going into building a business and having a platform is a privilege
212
It's a privilege that I had going into it, but at the same time
213
It was really important for me for the team to know
214
that this is really about like product first consumer first like really wanting to know that the product is great,
215
the storytelling is great, the world building is great, and then I always just believed that the rest was going to follow
216
and it was going to come and that people would
217
fall in love with it because they fell in love with the world and the products.
218
And I mean, my whole thing is like a product first approach.
219
For me, the products have to be great.
220
And I really am like a skincare product fanatic and freak and always have been.
221
So I've just always been very forthcoming that I think
222
if we put great innovative go -to products into the world
223
that the rest was going to hopefully fingers crossed come
224
and follow and it has completely like totally exceeded my expectations I'm interested in this minimalist approach
225
because on the one hand it creates amazing FOMO and desire
226
but I imagine when you go into a retailer like Sephora they also need very reliable stock
227
and inventory so how do you balance FOMO with not disappointing customers who are in the stores
228
and it's all sold out well can I say one thing
229
I mean we're not like creating FOMO on purpose that's not
230
so I do think sometimes brands will do
231
that as like a strategy ploy it's not something
232
that we're doing on purpose it's just again we're creating drops
233
that we're just creating and adding to the world yeah
234
and I think inventory challenges have been something that's been present throughout Rode's history.
235
I think when we started the brand, the first six months of Rode, we only sold product.
236
We were only able to sell product for 11 days, which was actually a great challenge.
237
And then you sold out.
238
Right.
239
It was a great challenge for brand builders to try
240
and figure out how do you create an exciting brand for the first six months of existence
241
and only being able to sell product for 11 days. But...
242
we keep going sort of from strength to strength.
243
Take me into the conversations that happened at that 11 day mark when you were trying to figure out what came back.
244
Well, we're like, how do we keep creating excitement?
245
And I think it really did help us sort of strengthen as brand builders because we had to come up with new,
246
exciting, fresh ways to talk about the brand and to grow excitement while having no product to sell.
247
But, you know, even as recent as our summer launch with our bronzers, we did sell out of some of our,
248
you know, best selling SKUs from this summer launch.
249
So we've had to continue to work closely with Elf to scale our supply chain.
250
We're now, as of the last quarter, in seven new distribution centers across three different continents.
251
So we're working actively on building that supply chain to try and sort of eliminate some of those scarcity concerns.
252
I also think we really are learning as we go.
253
We've never been here before.
254
We've never done this before.
255
I think back to, you know, when we sold out after 11 days and then didn't have product.
256
It's like you have to just pivot and figure it out
257
and learn as you go and the amount of times that we've had to say,
258
you know, sorry to our community and we're going to do better next time.
259
And then we really do.
260
And we try to make it better for the next launch and the next launch and the next launch.
261
And every failure we've had has only made road better as we've continued to grow.
262
And then, you know, you have to take your mistakes and your learnings on the chin.
263
You have to.
264
And that was going to be my next question.
265
Is there any criticism of the brand that you've taken on
266
and you think it's really helped you get to the next level?
267
I do think with the inventory, I mean, as of this summer, selling out of some of these really popular SKUs.
268
I mean, I think we had had 160 ,000 new customers in the three months prior to that launch.
269
So when we sold out of some of our summer bronzers, I mean, we saw a lot of frustration from our customers online.
270
And we started to have conversations on, you know, internal and how can we quickly accelerate and, you know, grow our supply chain and expand.
271
And those are those conversations with Elf where they're helping us supercharge on the back end and,
272
you know, open new distribution centers and diversify our sort of raw supplier manufacturers.
273
So we're actively having those conversations.
274
And a lot of that is because of the sentiment we're seeing online from consumers.
275
And I also wanted to add to that too, like there's only so much predicting you can do of how well something's going to do.
276
Of course, we forecast as a company.
277
We think that we're going to do this much.
278
We think we're going to sell this many units.
279
And because the consumers are so incredible and amazing, it always exceeds what we thought it was going to be.
280
So that helps us with demand planning for the next time and the next time and the next time.
281
You know, obviously we don't want anyone to be frustrated and not be able to get their hands on it
282
We'd love for everybody to be able to get their hands on it.
283
That's the goal
284
So I think it's always just helped us learn and then demand plan better
285
It's unprecedented levels of customer growth and demand.
286
So we're we're trying to keep up I want to talk about morality for a second
287
So one of your first products is that phone case
288
Which I'm sure you have all seen with a little slot in it for your road lip gloss Lauren
289
and I caught up a couple of days ago and you said this thing to me which I've been thinking about,
290
which is you can watch hours of footage and immediately know the three seconds that are going to go viral.
291
So in 2026, I want to hear from both of you.
292
What makes something take off?
293
How do you think about the reality of marketing and product?
294
It's really hard to articulate,
295
but we did talk on the phone and I said that both Haley and I feel like a strength of ours is,
296
you know, our team can put together a minute long edit
297
and we can both say this is the three to five second clip that's really going to cut through and resume.
298
Can you give me an example?
299
Yeah, I mean, I think most recently, I can give an example a couple weeks ago, which is driven by Haley.
300
We have an amazing pop -up at the Champs -Élysées Sephora flagship in Paris.
301
And we have like this three -room pop -up that's amazing.
302
And we went to go tour it, and Haley gave a Q &A with store ambassadors there.
303
And in the middle of the pop -up, there's this big pink highlight milk statue of our product.
304
And we're touring, and Haley just climbs onto the statue
305
because we take a picture and she knows that's going to go everywhere and that's really going to resonate.
306
It's, I think, a perfect illustration of Haley's aspirationalness and her accessibility, which I think makes Haley so unique and makes
307
Rode very unique.
308
But I think that's an example of finding a moment, capturing it, and getting it up quickly
309
because I think something else to note is not just the quality of the content
310
and having a stickiness to the content that is interesting, but it's the speed with which you get something up.
311
You have to be first to market.
312
You don't have the time to go through layers of approval.
313
And if you don't get something up sort of in real time or that same day, the conversation's passed and it's moved on.
314
And I think that's one of our strengths at Road that,
315
you know, myself or our marketing team or our head of social can turn the phone to Haley.
316
We have a direct relationship with her and say, is this approved?
317
We don't need to wait for teams to say yes
318
or no. And that ability to connect with the consumer with sticky content quickly is, I think, sort of some of the secret sauce.
319
I also think a lot of things happen by accident.
320
I know that's probably annoying to hear and annoying to say
321
but There has been so many moments where we did not think something like the phone case for example
322
You didn't think it was gonna be that big.
323
I didn't I personally did not think that was gonna be as big as it was and as massive as it was.
324
I thought it was going to be an added accessory
325
that was going to be fun that I really didn't think it was going to take off the way that it did.
326
And we've had a lot of those moments that, again, I talk so much about following my gut and following my instinct.
327
And like she just mentioned, the big highlight milk statue and me going and climbing and sitting on top of it.
328
I'm like, I'm just out here living and having fun.
329
It's in me.
330
It wasn't for it.
331
Everything is kind of just like off of my instinct.
332
It's not this like overly meticulously like planned out plotted out thing a lot of the time
333
It's just something that happens really naturally and I think
334
that of course I feel really lucky that
335
that happens I think another example was like in Paris I went on this this talk show
336
and I was wearing like our new blush and everybody's like what's the blush?
337
And I'm like that's just something that happened really naturally and when you're Hailey Bieber Of course, of course.
338
But like I'm saying, it's not like these things are overly plotted and planned out.
339
I think as a team, we come together and we follow our instinct and we have conversations.
340
And we're like, let's do it.
341
Let's try it.
342
Let's go for it.
343
And yeah, I think that, like she mentioned, our team is so amazing.
344
We're able to execute really, really fast because we really do kind of build hype around things in the moment.
345
And I think we are able to make people really excited about things in the moment.
346
I also think we're really good at building anticipation and I think the anticipation also comes naturally because I'm really excited
347
So like my anticipation for people to get it.
348
I also think and hopefully
349
Hope translates to people that I'm so excited about it.
350
So then it gets them excited about it I want you to reflect back on the start of road.
351
So you are a hugely successful model
352
You still are a really high -profile figure
353
Do you feel you were immediately taken seriously as a founder or was it something that you had to work?
354
Do you feel that was a sense of having to prove yourself?
355
I don't think it was an immediate thing, no. I think people actually at the time were feeling very fatigued by celebrity brands.
356
And I went into it knowing that.
357
And I think because I went into it being like, I get it.
358
Like, nobody really is asking for this.
359
But I really want people to just give me a chance.
360
I have a different point of view.
361
And then really sticking to that and seeing it through is, I think, what ended up really resonating.
362
This is something that is so, it's really a real extension of my life and my world and the things that I love.
363
So I was really hoping that the biggest thing that came across was that it is actually very authentic to me.
364
Because I think people, the consumer today is just so smart.
365
They're so, so, so smart.
366
They don't care about the BS.
367
They see through it all.
368
This next generation, they don't care.
369
They don't care.
370
They're like, okay, seen it all, don't care.
371
I do think they really want to feel something that's real to someone
372
and authentic and feel that you care about it in a real way
373
Was there a moment when you felt the business community really takes you seriously?
374
Was there a moment when you felt it shift or was it was it a gradual gradual every single year?
375
I mean, I held my breath every single drop that we've done because I'm like, you know when the blushes came out I'm like
376
Nobody is asking for this.
377
Maybe nobody wants it.
378
Maybe nobody's gonna gravitate towards it
379
and luckily they have every single time and also we have products
380
that people like but they're not our most popular
381
and I've taken was there one
382
that didn't land quite as you thought it might I don't think there was one
383
that just didn't land period
384
but of course we have our most popular SKUs we have our least popular SKUs
385
and that's always just a learning for me to understand okay maybe this one wasn't the one
386
that everybody really loved the most and then I get to be able to take
387
that and be like okay so when I'm thinking about the next thing
388
or the next product that I think is really important in the lineup I take that into real serious consideration.
389
So millions of young women look up to you for many reasons
390
but as a beauty ideal and at a time
391
when social media seems to be in many ways narrowing
392
you know beauty ideals I mean I'm constantly logging on to Instagram
393
and being told I need to change my face
394
and a million ways I'm interested in how you think about your role as both a trendsetter
395
and a founder and it's road about broadening the ideal of what beauty can look like
396
or building a company around women wanting to look like you specifically?
397
I know it's a big question, but I think it's super interesting.
398
I think that for me personally, I'm inspired by so many other women, women that have come before me, women that are doing so many cool,
399
amazing things today, inspired by so many different women for so many different reasons.
400
But something that I do think that really matters is individuality
401
and authenticity and I am somebody who I do care about being authentic to myself
402
and I want to encourage other women to know that there's only one you, and that's important.
403
And, you know, I think the world of beauty is so cool because everybody relates to it differently, and everybody gets to play with it differently.
404
The way I play with makeup might be different the way that you do.
405
My skincare routine will be different to yours.
406
The products that I love may be different to what you love or anybody else in this room.
407
And that was something that really opened up for me
408
and opened my eyes coming into the beauty space is that the whole beauty world is really a community.
409
And it's really a space where people get to express themselves so many different ways.
410
And I think that's what creates a lot of individuality, especially in beauty.
411
But I'm somebody who, like, I love who I am.
412
And I love embracing who I am.
413
And I love embracing where I'm at in different moments.
414
And the things I was interested in at 19 as opposed to 29 are
415
so different and the way I treated my skin at 19 as opposed to 29 is so different.
416
The makeup I wore at 19 is
417
so different to what I do now at 29
418
and I think beauty is able to evolve with you through every single stage of your life
419
and your needs change and the things you want change
420
and I think beauty can really evolve with you
421
and that's kind of the message
422
that I want to continue speaking to young people about is like you can be exactly who you are right
423
now today and what you love you love today and just remember
424
that you're going to change and you're going to evolve
425
and beauty can evolve and change with you and on
426
that note how will road evolve because you started it
427
when you were a woman in in your 20s
428
and it very much captured
429
that lifestyle as you you're both
430
now mothers um as you go through your life stages as you both hit midlife is road going to reflect
431
that or is it always going to be skewed towards the younger woman i I'm at in my life.
432
I, you know, I think that's such an interesting question
433
because everything we've made so far is still the things I gravitate towards and the things I reach for.
434
But for example, like we have a new serum coming out, which I'm going to say, and I think I can talk about because,
435
because I can, but, but we have a new serum coming out in, in January that, you know,
436
is more geared towards, you know, like smart aging.
437
And, you know, as our skin changes, I'm turning 30 in November and I definitely can say that my my needs and my skincare routine
438
have changed since the day I launched road you know
439
when I launched road it was really focused on hydration
440
and peptides and now I'm kind of in a space where I need a little bit more active
441
so I do think that it's going to continue to evolve with the needs
442
that I see in my own personal life as well as I think
443
that will just continue to expand the age range for road
444
I mean our age range is pretty vast at this point
445
it ranges from very young to you know kind of really all ages older women
446
I would say like up into what like later 30s yeah and our target is really more
447
Gen Z and Millennial I actually told me this morning
448
that their male friends use your barrier cream
449
which is what I love you have male customers a hundred percent
450
and also I mean I think we definitely are geared towards more towards women and but it
451
It was always meant to be unisex.
452
It was supposed to always be meant just for everyone and anyone who wants to use it.
453
There was never supposed to be, it was never supposed to be geared towards any gender at all.
454
But I really do think that, again, I'm going to continue to go off of my instincts and
455
continue adding to the line as I see there are any gaps for it.
456
And we're going to go from there.
457
It seems to be working.
458
I think it's working.
459
So Hailey Bieber, Lauren Ratner, thank you so much for joining us.
460
Thank you.
461
Thank you very much.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
