Voice: The Heartbeat of Human Expression


Why is it important to learn the art of speech? Speech is the epitome of self-expression. The voice is the most primal and essential faculty that humans possess. It is the voice that helped our ancestors survive the prehistoric environment. It is the voice that helped create societies and craft civilizations. Whatever humans did to survive or wherever they went on their explorations, it was their voice that sustained and preserved them. The voice gives expression to myriad creative impulses—from art to music to dance. In love and in war, it was the voice that gave strength, passion, courage, and vision for the future. Without voice, humanity is meaningless.
