Posture and breathing

Hello, we continue with our series of three posts on "Good verbal habits ". This time I am writing about "Posture and Breathing ".

I will explain it to you simply. The more stooped you stand or feel, the less air will reach your lungs, the less air in your lungs, the more difficult it is to breathe, and if you breathe badly, you get more tired, pronounce badly, in short, you speak worse. Besides, you give an appearance of insecurity, and in oratory and communication it is of the utmost importance what you convey with your body. So, when you speak with another person or before an audience full of assistants, stand up firmly, stick out your chest and behave like a decent girl or a little gentleman. Do you remember that advice of our aunts and grandmothers? Well, it's very useful in public speaking. No awkward positions. That is, maintain agility, grace or ease in the way of acting and developing ourselves. Maintain your panache, then.

There are many exercises to breathe better. I can invite you to Google, but the idea is that you stay with me and we can practice together. For now I only mention that the ideal is that we breathe with the diaphragm, just like when we were just born, remember? Well, neither do I. That's why we need to learn again. In passing, I would like to mention that when we breathe, what we should lift is our abdomen and not our chest.
