Look after your voice

Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask fora glass of water. You can solve the problem by activating7 the saliva8 in your mouth. First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth. Or, press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow. oryou can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.

Before you begin your talk, be kind to your voice. Avoid milk orcreamy drinks that coat your throat. Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea ordiluted fruit juice.

What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat? I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence. The second drink gives you even more confidence. Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything, but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly. Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.

Goethe, who lived before indoorskating rinks orswimming pools, said, we learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter. Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits. If you are willing to change, you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they became a part of your body.
