Breath Quote by Bill McGowan
““Five minutes before you start speaking, take a long inhale through your nose—hold it for a couple of seconds—and then very slowly exhale through the mouth. This technique will quiet all the distracting noise swirling in your head, slow your racing pulse, replenish your lungs with air, and stabilize your voice. Try it. It works!””
