You've learned breathing, visualization, and vocal warm-ups. Now let's combine them into your first speaking challenge: a one-breath introduction.

This drill trains breath control while keeping your message sharp and focused.

Engagement Message

In one word, how do you want your introductions to sound?

A one-breath introduction is exactly what it sounds like: introducing yourself completely within one exhale. No gasping, no trailing off, no rushed endings.

This forces you to be concise and trains your diaphragm for sustained speech.

Engagement Message

What happens when you run out of breath mid-sentence during introductions?

Your one-breath intro has three parts: Name + Role/Context + One interesting detail. Example: "Hi, I'm Sarah, a marketing coordinator at TechCorp, and I love finding creative solutions to complex problems."

That's about 15-20 words - perfect for one controlled exhale.

Engagement Message

Can you identify the three parts in that example?

Before delivering your intro, take a full diaphragm breath using your box breathing technique. Fill your lungs completely, then speak at a steady, measured pace.

Don't rush or you'll waste precious air. Think of it like sipping your breath slowly.

What do you think happens if you speak too fast during this exercise?
