who the most powerful person is.

You know, think of any good mafia movie that you've watched.

The most powerful person is still because everybody else moves around them.

You know, is there in the animal kingdom as well?

And so often stillness is the kind of paradoxical thing that makes you powerful.

And stillness in the breath underpins stillness in the body because you can't be still in the body if your breath isn't calm.

I mean, I find my best days are the days when I get up a bit early.

And I sometimes do a bit of yoga, but sometimes I just sit on a bolster or a chair and I put my hand on my tummy and I just monitor my breathing for five minutes.

Most days, as we've said, I will do some chanting or singing because that's also really calming and it warms up your voice.

But what I would say to people is anything that gets you into your body, gets your body released and gets your voice centered.

And for some people, that's tennis, right?

For some people, it's going for a run.

The one thing I would say is I keep coming across clients doing Peloton who have really tight hips and psoas and that makes their voices tight.

So the thing I warn people about is a loss of peloton and a loss of weight.

So if you're doing those, they won't help your voice.

And they're fine to do, of course.

Everything's fine, but balance it with some stretching.

Because if the hips get tense, the jaw gets tense, and then the voice gets tense.

Because hips and jaw are really connected.

But I bet you also stretch out because I don't hear it's the balance.
