Siri made a mistake on my text, should be “diction”, not addiction.

Excellent! This applies to singers as well who need to assess their breathing, phrasing, addiction, open throat,, eye contact, sharp, or flat notes, gestures, etc.

100%!! Talk about needing to appreciate your own voice. :) I actually encourage speakers and actors to "score" their speeches the same way a singer would, to experiment with where to put the breath, where to leverage dynamics (high/low, fast/slow, stop/go, crescendo/decrescendo), etc. Speaking or singing "naturally" actually takes a lot of prep!
