Mastering the Skills of Speaking and Listening: The Importance of Breathing Practice
Viewing speaking and listening as skills is crucial, not innate abilities. Mastering these skills significantly impacts happiness, effectiveness, and well-being. Understanding the vocal toolbox is essential, starting with the breath as the foundation of the voice. Developing a breathing practice, such as resonant breathing through the nose and out through the mouth, helps in elongating breaths and calming nerves. Emphasizing diaphragmatic breathing over chest breathing is vital for better voice projection and control.
