Score for speech sounds
Stand tall. Make a vowel sound. Lean into that sound. Then physically lean into that sound. Keep leaning in stance and in sound until satisfied.

Instructions for sound through an open window
(volume 20-70db)
Place your head out an open window.
Position your body so that your face and ears are half inside/half outside.
Imagine there is someone whom you hold in high regard or care deeply for six feet away.
Slowly generate a sound for that person.
Hold the sound for a breath.
Slowly increase the intensity of the sound by 10 decibels.
Repeat until you feel satisfied with the volume or duration of the exchange.
