As I mentioned previously, I am working on my public speaking skill.  I was reading Smart Speaking while lying in a bathtub the other day, reading practice words and sentences aloud, when I realized that bathrooms are perfect for voice training.  Bathrooms are like your private sound studios!  Of course, my son now thinks he vastly underestimated his dad's weirdness.

BTW, Smart Speaking book is a Must Buy.  It's cheap ($14 retail, $11 at Amazon), well written, and is like a FAQ for public speaking.  It answers 100 speaking problems and fears using two pages per question.  Here is an example problem: I Sound So Young on the Telephone, People Ask to Speak to My Mother.  Whoa!
