Here is a great article on breathing while presenting, by Nick Morgan. It also contains great advice on tuning into your most effective tone of voice.
An interesting note to add is that despite popular belief, a big, deep and broad voice is not necessarily ideal for public speaking, at least not for business presentations. As much as I enjoy Leonard Cohen and James Earl Jones, I doubt that they could get a crowd excited while presenting new concepts. Anthony Robbins excels at this, with a voice that is, to say the least, quite particular.
Òh; don’t be afraid of the word “Nasal”. Think of rock and roll – the most famous singers all had a very particular voice, unlike anyone before; Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, Axl Rose, Mick Jagger, Chris Cornell…
Practice makes perfect; get up there!
