This is stepping out of being strictly fitness related in the customary sense, but with the rise of mewing, skincare, /fitlit/, and other aspects of voracious self-improvement appearing on this board, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on learning to speak better. Tried and true methods to have an impressive sounding voice would be nice, but I already know the basics like speak from your chest, breathe deeply, etc. I was hoping for advice specifically on things like vocal pace and tone, how to sound alpha and commanding. My first idea was to listen to famous speeches and try and mimic the vocal patterns and intonations, is this a good idea?

Oftentimes I feel like I naturally talk too fast, or the intonations of what I say don't lend themselves to sounding calm and collected. Was wondering how to practice my voice so it would come out the same regardless of how I'm feeling, like a force of habit.
