hygiene

• non-Duchenne smiles.

2. SMILING FOR THE RIGHT REASONS• Make your smile genuine

Don't smile when you just aren't feeling it. It will give others the impression that you can't be trusted. It's ok not to smile all day long.

Remember how it feels when you do crack a genuine smile. Try to regain that feeling each time you smile.

• Smile when you feel good. A genuine smile comes from being happy, positive, and from drawing your feelings from the heart. 

• Smile out of love. Think about someone you care about (perhaps the person standing in front of you as you smile), or about something that you genuinely love to do.

• Smile when you're feeling playful. 

Intense times can make us too serious. See life as an adventure, be gentle on yourself and allow your inner child to play. Being playful will bring a smile to your face much more easily.

3. MAKING SMILING A PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE

• Smile when you normally wouldn't. 

Have you been holding back your smile out fear that it will make people wonder about you? Smiles attract attention, but it's the right kind of attention. As you go about your day,

consider ways smiling can make your world a more positive place.

• Expect smiling to be difficult in some situations. Smiling on demand can be difficult, whether it's for a photo or for the sake of keeping mom happy when the relatives you can't stand visit.

For a photo, smile 20 percent more than you think you should.

Smile wide and show the top row of teeth. Don't forget to use your eyes!

The Three Key Components of a Powerful Sound

1.Personality

2.Passion

3.Strong vocal physique

The first two components are achieved by being yourself and by being clear about your intention. The third, through awareness and practice.

1. Personality

• Personality is “you” and the unique gifts you share with your audience. The essence of who you are is in your voice

for all to hear.

2. Passion

• Passion is the power of intention aligned with

content and personality. 

• Content is simply what you have to say. It’s your message, your words, your ideas manifested in spoken form.

• Intention, on the other hand, is what you have in mind to do or bring about.

When intention, content and personality align, we have passion.

3. Strong Vocal Physique

“Speaking louder doesn’t create a powerful voice.”

•Strong vocal physique is the ability to produce a vibrantly resonant sound and to have a good command of breathing technique.

Resonance is the reverberation or repetition of sound in the environment in which it was

created.

Lose Your Breath, Lose Your Voice!

Breathing exercise

5. SPREAD LOVE AND HAPPINESS

This ability is anchored on our personal relationship with God. We will only be able to spread love and happiness if we are secure and stable in our relationship with the

Maker and Shaper of our personality.
