In this video I chat about many why’s of competing in an Auctioneer contest how the contest can sharpen your skills can build your confidence strengthen your network and make you a better, Auctioneer. Don’t forget about next week’s Q&A about how to win an Auctioneer contest June 19 11 AM Eastern time

Most auctioneers think they have a chant problem. Often, they have a breathing problem. When you run out of air, you lose clarity. You lose rhythm. You lose control. But when you learn to breathe properly and "top off the tank," everything changes. Your voice has more power. Your chant becomes smoother. Your confidence grows. Don't just practice faster. Practice breathing better. The fundamentals aren't flashy, but they're what separate good auctioneers from great ones.

Here is Texas State Champion Josh Phelps showing us why he is the best! Love his breathing style. Watch how he opens his mouth, drops his diaphragm and breaths on beat. Great work! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1483332437171703
