So I would have them all go around and do different things where they punched a word and then they would pause before the word or the phrase or the couple words that they wanted people to really listen to. So I am the best bread maker in the world. So then they were like, whoa, whoa. Just have that pause, have that moment to listen to it and really absorb what they're saying.
They're always early.
I'm saying they're always early. Okay, okay. Yeah. Give me a second. Okay. This is a pause, everybody. This is a pause. We can edit this out.
I'm going to come out of here and be like, all right, guys, let's get out of here.
No, I want to think of something else.
I should have done this an hour ago.
It works, yeah. Reframe a question. Like tell me a question again of like what is just a – Like another question? Yeah. Just like reframe it in a way that I can just answer.
Yep.
So, It's so important before you go on, whether you're singing or speaking or doing any kind of talking in front of somebody, to center yourself, to breathe, and make sure your exhale is longer than your inhale. And I would do that. Have you heard of square breathing? Yep. So I would do 1, 2, 3, 4, hold 2, 3, 4, out 2, 3, 4, hold 2, 3, 4. So you keep doing that. So you really center yourself.
And once you feel I am centered, you know that everybody out there wants you to succeed. They want to hear you. You want to talk to them. You're not talking at them. You're talking to them. So in your mind, think of the person you're speaking to. Not a group of people, not a thousand people, not 20 people, but who is it? And you're having a conversation with them.
A lot of people are good one-on-one, but when it gets to be more people, they're like, I don't know how to do it. It's because you're not picturing a human and a soul and a connection. You're picturing a wall of people. But if you can connect with one, and again, it doesn't have to be looking at one, but you can say, I'm just connecting with you. I'm giving me, and I want to give you too.
I just want to connect. Think of that connection.
And the square breathing to really start it off to take those nerves down. And don't jump into it. Take your time. This is the thing that everybody's like, I got to go fast because I'm on here. And it's like really nervous to be like.
Hi. I'm Amy. Thanks so much for being here. Today I'm going to be talking about voice. And so if I just took that one moment to connect, that connection is huge. They're going to feel it. You're going to feel it. You're going to feel like you're talking to a person, not just a bunch of people.
Amazing. I'm so happy too. I feel like I had a thousand things I wanted to talk about. And then I just got sidetracked of something else.
I can't wait.
Oh, you know, you were asking about like routines. I know I didn't ask you. That's okay. I'll still talk about it because I can't shut up. I find it really important every day to look good. And I know like people are like, yeah, but that's so shallow. I'm like, no, no, no. I'm not doing it for other people.
I do it for me. Because if I know I look good, I know my hair's done, I know my makeup's done, I like my outfit, I like how I'm presenting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then I feel confident and my self-esteem is higher.
And I feel better about myself. Yeah. And when I feel better about myself, I can talk. I can have the best time. But if I go out and I'm like, my hair looks like shit. I'm tired. I didn't put on a lip today. And like my outfit is gross. What am I wearing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to feel confident. You're going to look at me and be like... Right, right, right. She's not confident.
Because you don't... Because I don't feel confident. A hundred percent. I mean...
