Avoid gasping before speaking.
This tip can be difficult because it deals with examining the very intimate habits of breath and speech, but it’s a practical example for the previous tip on gasping.
People often take a short gasping breath before speaking. Try it and see. This gasp before speaking is usually unnecessary (for actors, it can get in the way of reacting) and contributes to the false sense of a need for another breath. Try saying a few words without a preparatory gasp, your regular breath will follow as it is needed.
