How Controlled Breathing Makes You Sound More Confident

In the last blog post, we talked about why your words aren’t landing: You’re not speaking loud enough.

You can read that here. Today, we’re dialing it in deeper—literally.

Let’s talk about breath control.

Most people walk around breathing like they’re scared to exist.

Shallow. Weak. Passive.

That type of breathing keeps your voice small, your energy low, and your presence forgettable.

Fix it.

Start breathing slow and deep. In through your nose. Fill your belly. Control it.

What happens next is magic:

Oxygen hits your brain → clarity kicks in → your words get sharp → you stop mumbling and stuttering.

Now your voice? It starts cutting through.

Whether I’m at a table of 20 or sitting in a small group—I control the energy in the room with my breath. I can project my voice loud enough for everyone to hear or quiet enough to draw people in.

That’s power.

But it only comes when you train this skill. And the key to mastering it?

Experience breeds confidence.

You can read all the guides, watch every video I post, memorize these emails front to back.

But if you don’t go out and actually do it? You’ll stay stuck in theory land.

So here’s what I want from you:

Tonight—go sit with your friends or family. People you feel comfy around.

Start practicing.

Control your breathing.

Control your voice.

Then control the room.

And once that confidence kicks in?

You’ll notice it’s not just your voice people start paying attention to…

It’s YOU.

That’s how you land more clients. That’s how you talk to that girl. That’s how you stop feeling like a background character in your own movie.

It all starts here.

Always the best,
