assertive attitude, defending our opinion and rights but always
respecting the rights and opinions of others.

The voice used correctly helps us maintain attention
of the audience and to emphasize those points that we are interested in highlighting.
Qualities of the voice that we must take special care of:

good breathing. The effort should not be focused on the throat
but in the capacity of air that we know how to contain.

to exercise the mouth, lips, and tongue in order to articulate
correctly the words thus achieving a better expression.

varieties of the same with which we will enhance expressiveness in our
interventions.

none of the natural elements that are found in the nasal cavities,
they allow to purify, filter, humidify, and heat the air that enters the lungs.
Breathe in the air in its environmental state, generally contaminated, dry and
At low temperatures, it causes enormous damage to the vocal cords.

breathe in through the nose, always avoiding the entry of air through the mouth. In each pause,
You should breathe through your nose quickly with your mouth closed.
