And it is so simple.

The "lead-in" is essentially a short phrase you add to the start of your read that keeps you from slamming into the first word after hitting record. It also has the added benefit of helping you keep your frame of mind on the key components of your narration scene:

* Who are you?* Who are you talking to?* Why are you saying this?
