Kavi's Calm, Clear Voice

Kavi stood up to tell the class about owls — but the words came tumbling out so fast that it sounded like "owlsflyatnightandtheyhavebigeyes!" Nobody could follow a word. So Kavi stopped, took one slow breath, stood tall and still, and looked up at everyone. Then Kavi spoke slowly: "Owls… fly at night." A little pause. "They have big eyes." This time every owl in the room heard each word. A calm, clear voice — slow words, eyes up, a still body, and a pause between ideas — makes your ideas easy to hear and easy to follow.
