If your video sounds like a giant blob of words with no cadence, no rhythm, no space, try the staircase method where every three to five lines is a new section and each line gets shorter and shorter. It actually looks like steps going down and the visual structure on the page matching your deliveries is what makes it digestible. And for my type a friends, this is more of a feel, not a formula. If this section has rhythm and the last line is short and punchy, it works.
