vocal projection
Carrying your voice
Vocal projection is the technique of using breath support, resonance, and articulation to make one's voice carry clearly to listeners at a distance, without straining or shouting.
Actors, public speakers, and singers develop projection to fill a room or theater while maintaining vocal quality.
Good projection differs from mere loudness; it involves directing sound outward with controlled power.
