Today's lecture was a fine example of the saying, 'time flies when you're having fun!'
Tony had the class up on our feet, with a practical lesson on how our breathing benefits our voice. I am pretty lucky I have a friend in the class, otherwise I would have been a little embarrassed singing by myself.
Tony explained how so many people don't breathe deep enough to project their voice. I must admit, I think I am one of those people who 'breathe and talk through their throat' so when I'm trying to talk loudly, I sound like I'm trying to screech. I will begin to focus breathing ALL the way down to my diaphragm, and who knows, maybe there's a hidden opera voice down there.
I know I will be nervous giving my speech though. I'd prefer to speak in front 200 people than the 15 in my class. My theory is, if I can't see them, they can't see me. But there will be no hiding from the uni students waiting on my wise words of wisdom. (or just waiting for me to finish my speech so they can go back on Facebook)
My speech is in 2 weeks, and because I have some medical trips to do next Wednesday, I will be missing the first round of speeches. Best of luck!
