voice projection
Speaking to reach
Voice projection is the technique of speaking loudly and clearly enough to be heard across a room or by an audience, without straining or shouting.
Actors, public speakers, and teachers develop voice projection to carry their words to the back row.
The skill involves breath control and resonance rather than mere volume: Her voice projection filled the auditorium without a microphone.
