It also does wonders to consider your breathing when confronted with such a
long message as in Sweepstakes. If, before you launch into it, you take a
breath, you can say it all in one, well-modulated, well-timed stream.
Otherwise, you have to gulp air somewhere around the end of your call, unless
you're going so rapidly that most people can't follow it. You sound more
in-control, you calm yourself, and you don't create wierdly placed pauses and
hiccups that work against maintaining a rhythm. I am always struck by how the
Big Dogs are so smooth and even, not flailing around and making mistakes.
Sure, they hurry it up when there's rate to be had, but I never feel like
they're about to spin out and go through guard rail. (like I do, hihi)
