✓ What worked
You used a clear opening sentence — "I take a breath before answering" — which anchored your response well.
Your pace was steady and not rushed. Good rhythm throughout.
⚠ What to fix
You said "basically" 3 times and "you know" once. Replace with silence or restructure the sentence.
Your second point trailed off — complete your sentences fully before moving on.
✦ Try saying it like this
"When I feel nervous before an interview, I focus on preparation. I remind myself that I know the answers — I just need to express them clearly. One technique I use is taking a slow breath before I start speaking. It slows my mind and keeps fillers away."
