Is it possible to project my voice without being too loud?

This video is focused on teaching the participants how to properly project their voice. Nicole provided detailed explanations and exercises to help participants understand and practice the techniques for proper vocal projection.

Breathing Techniques for Vocal Projection
--Participants were guided through an experiment to understand the impact of body positioning on breathing.
--The trainer explained the importance of inhaling and exhaling properly while speaking to avoid exasperated exhales.

Speaking Techniques for Vocal Projection
