For what it's worth, both of his techniques are ones that I've heard USAV National Rating Team members recommend that R2's do.
I do the one with the pause. Never had a problem with it. If I say "for ten," I used to have people think I was saying "fourteen." No such problems since I switched.
As always, your mileage may vary.
