sound projection

Throwing your voice

Sound projection is the technique of directing one's voice so it carries clearly to listeners at a distance, especially in performance contexts.

Actors and public speakers develop sound projection to reach the back of a room without straining or shouting.

The skill involves breath control and resonance rather than mere volume: Her sound projection filled the auditorium without a microphone.
