The bottom line： Don't gasp， draw， suck or pull the air into body. Just relax， open your mouth and let the air fall in. passive breathing gives you a richer， fuller voice. Grant-Williams explains that shallow breathing cuts off resonance and makes your pitch rise， but breathing into the lower body allows the vocal cords to relax.
Speaking involves an interrelated group of muscles. Taken collectively， the system of muscles that help create the voice is called support. Resonance is the way the sound vibrates in the body. Bupport and resonance work together. Grant-Williams writes that energy is needed to create tone， but the trick is finding the fight source of energy that does not compromise the resonance.
Speaking with entire body
Grant-Williams says that most people use their throats to create sound， but this damages the body's resonance. Instead of relying on the throat alone， you need to draw the energy for sound from your entire body. This is called full body support. Creative use off tone， pitch， pauses and elongated consonants can give you an edge in getting people's attention.
No one enjoys giving a speech. In fact， it's the top-rated phobia in America. Fear of giving a speech ranks higher than fear of dying in some studies. To help her readers overcome this fear， Grant-Williams covers the best way to write a speech-phrasing decisions and constructing a phrasing schematic， developing physical presence， neutralizing stage fright， and rehearsing.
