Yes, so for those that don’t understand the Valsalva response, the correction is essentially: - Gentle or continuous airflow onset before phonation (“start speaking on a soft exhale”). - Diaphragmatic breathing or resonant voice therapy, keeping chest and laryngeal tension low. - Mindful relaxation or slow exhalation exercises before speech tasks. - Supplements or calming agents (like L-theanine, magnesium, ashwagandha, etc.) can reduce the underlying sympathetic tone, indirectly reducing Valsalva tendencies.
