Speaking calmly in public: “First, I take some deep belly breaths. The breath out should take twice as long as the breath in. You only need to do 3 or 4 of these." "Second, I do my best to interact with somebody to have a conversation. It gets me focused. If it's somebody who's part of the audience, even better because I realize these are normal human beings who want to learn something from me, rather than judges who are there to evaluate." "And then I say tongue twisters. to warm up my voice, and you can't say a tongue twister right and not be in the present moment." "I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit."
