I live under Bravo airspace you can imagine the hell I go through listening
and talking to these rapid fire controllers. The best part about flying under
and around Bravo airspace is that I lost my fear of talking on Gods in the
towers.

What I did with some of my students have them listen to live atc and also
make them say a response. Just because you know what to say, actually
practicing saying it out loud helps tremendously. Just pick an atc
frequency, approach is usually the best as they give the more complex
commands, and when atc gives a command, try to read it back as if it was
said for you. Make sure you do it out loud as the connection between the
brain and the mouth is one of the worst in the body. Its far to quick when
it doesn't need to be and exceedingly slow when actually have a good reason
to say something.
