Breathing is something we do all day without thinking—but in the courtroom, how you breathe can make or break your presence. In this episode, I unpack why breath is the most underutilized tool trial attorneys have for grounding themselves, projecting confidence, and even regulating the jury's emotional state. You'll discover how the mechanics of breath affect your voice, how the nervous system responds to shallow vs. deep breathing, and why your breath is contagious in the courtroom.   In this episode, you'll learn: Why shallow breathing leads to vocal strain, fatigue, and tension. How intentional abdominal breathing powers your voice and presence. The neuroscience of breath: mirror neurons, the vagus nerve, and nervous system regulation. How your breathing patterns unconsciously influence your jury's focus and receptivity. Practical strategies to practice deep breathing in everyday "transitional moments."   Key Takeaway: Your breath isn't just oxygen—it's leadership. The way you breathe sets the emotional temperature of the entire courtroom.   Favorite Moment: "Sometimes the most powerful message you give your jury isn't spoken. It's modeled—in the calm of your breath."   Links & Resources: *** Get the $7 mini training *** SPEAK SO THEY GET IT — https://www.fostervoicestudio.com/speak    Want more? 👉 Get weekly tips and techniques delivered to your inbox.
