The best example will be how on radio or on TV, there is often a "disclaimer" section, and there is a speaker that can talk for so long and he/she doesn't even seem to be losing breathe or anything. As if it is natural for them to talk that way or something.
So, I want to know if there is a way to fix or maybe at least can talk more comfortable and easily with long paragraph or sentences, or reduce the feeling of running out of breathe.
Thanks in advance.
Answers:
When you read aloud or speak long sentences, try to breathe during commas and other punctuation marks like a colon or semicolon. It is especially important to stop and breathe after a period (some people call it a "fullstop"). You are supposed to stop and breathe at the end of each sentence. This helps you as well as the person listening to you. He/she then knows that that is the end of the sentence.
No one in real life talks like the radio/tv disclaimer person. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the people recorded their voices and then fast-forwarded them. You don't need to aim for speaking at the same speed as they do.
Even if there are no punctuation marks, you can still stop and breathe, usually at the end of a clause.
I'm not sure there is a set way for doing it consiously. I think people just learn to do it without realizing it at first. I can do that to a point. But I can't talk for nearly as long as teenage girls with cell phones...they can talk for HOURS about absolutly nothing and they never run out of breath.
P.S. sorry if your a teenage girl and got offended. But I'm sure you'll just call someone to tell them how mean I am. J/K
