Learn to speak only while you exhale. You need air flooding around your vocal chords. The air from within you was filtered before and is warm. When you ran out of it just let your inhale happen through your nose. After a while you find out how long phrases can be before you have to inhale. You can use that knowledge to strengthen points when preparing speeches. You increase the power of your voice as it is heard without side noises.
