Introduction to the lecture:
Everyone in modern society has to speak in public (communicating, expressing oneself, making speeches, etc.). Scientific workers have long been committed to practice and research and sometimes are not good at expressing themselves. It may be helpful for you to spread advanced science and culture if you master certain presentation skills.
Music is an asset of all people, while singing is the most direct artistic form to express feelings. Your vocal cord is the only musical instrument connecting your heart. As scientists in the future, you should know how to use your vocal cord in singing, how to overcome stage fright, how to avoid being tone deaf, and how to make your voice impressive.
