How do you develop iron strong confidence before you stand up and present?
1. Mind over speaking. Get your mind into gear before your mouth into motion as Annette says. Find yourself a strong visual image that can act as an anchor to help you get into a relaxed physical state. Think of a fun time, enjoyable moment or happy experience and hold this thought.
2. Learn to relax your voice. Start with yawn/sigh where you take a breath in and release with a full yawn on "haaaaaa". This is the start to get your voice into a relaxed state.
3. Develop a warm up routine.

5 P's for more emotion and Expression in your Voice
1. Projection -this refers to the loud and soft sounds of your voice.
2 Pitch-this refers to "light and shade" or the high and low notes of your voice.
3. Pace- this rfers to the variation in tempo of your delivery
4. Pause before an important key word or message speaks for itself!
5. Pronunciation- this has to be so obvious and yet the most common blunder.
You need to focus on the foundations first:
1. Posture - think tall and relaxed.
2. "Belly breathing" focus breathing in from the diaphragm.
3. Open your mouth when speaking.
4. Release a gentle, effortless and powerful voice.
5. Tune into how you sound. Develop conscious awareness and use of your voice and that of others.
