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)
