Own Your Voice, Own Your Life

Voice work is actually from the ancient world and spirometry.

You breathe in ideas, pause, close your mouth and wait. Let the next thought arrive, and then speak it.

Good speakers do not let thoughts get ahead of themselves. To deliver a thought, they pause and watch the audience.

But it doesn’t have to be a slow process. In fact, it can happen quite fast. It is just really about understanding that breath is your control, moment by moment, as a speaker on stage.

It’s your brakes, it’s your pause. And that changes everything.

"Teach your brain and your breath to match your thought and the need for the length of your line. If we match the breath that comes into the thought that we speak, we're in control." - Caroline Goyder
