If the Thought of Public Speaking Gives You Heart Palpitations, You Must See 'The King's Speech' Posted By : The Voice Lady

Yes, I enjoyed the biographical aspects and the acting; but, what is even more insightful is how this man was able to overcome a debilitating vocal 'handicap' in order to deliver speeches during his reign as King of England. As one who stuttered, Albert Frederick Arthur George worked with a speech coach before his ascension to the throne as well as after being crowned King George VI. In fact, when he is about to address his country regarding their impending war with Germany, he is unable to begin and looks at his coach who tells him to breathe. King George's speech coach wanted him to breathe in order to control his nervousness and to allow his voice to come through smoothly.
