    Welcome to latelatebloomer's class on The South Philly "YO!"

    Forget about speaking from your diaphragm. That's not deep enough. It should start at the soles of your feet and burst upward explosively.
    When practiced sufficiently, it can stop every living creature within 200 yds, dent sheet metal, and even get the bartender's attention.

    Now ride your bike up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum and do a little dance.

    Speaking of your voice coming from your feet...

    I was on the bike path tonight riding at about 25 km/h (I rarely do that... especially at that time, like 6pm so there were many oncoming bikes) and there was a young girl (let's say 16-17 y.o.), no helmet, riding in the middle of my lane, chitchatting with the other girl riding with her, not looking ahead at all.

    I yelled: "Mademoiselle, you are in the wrong lane" (that was in French) but I almost frightened myself, I could hear my own voice bounce and come back to me full strength. Poor girl... She was careless though. But I wish I would have stopped after "Mademoiselle"! I always have had a deep, strong voice, but that was really surprising, even to myself.

    Needless to say, she moved to her lane.
