In this video, I, Michael Williams, show you four practical tools you can start using right away to calm your body and return to a state of smooth, confident speech. If you’ve been following this series, you already know that we speak more fluently when we’re relaxed and alone—because we’re in what I call a resting state. But how do we get back to that state during interviews, presentations, or everyday conversations?

In this session, I walk you through body-focused strategies that help you stay calm and in control. You’ll learn the 7-7-7 breathing technique to regulate your breath and nervous system, how to speak on the out-breath to maintain airflow, how to use gentle phonation to keep the sound flowing, and how to integrate transitional phrases like “so” or “yes” to stay in rhythm. I also explain why trying to “fight” a block increases pressure—and why flowing around it is a more effective long-term solution.

We’ll even touch on flexibility in word choice and how to reduce the mental pressure that causes speech breakdowns. Whether you're working through stuttering, speech anxiety, or fast, choppy speech, these techniques can help you feel more relaxed in the moment—so your speech flows naturally and easily.
