What you have to say, whisper it directly into the ear of your listener. Get right up close to the side of their head, cup your hand into a c, and wedge that hand between your lips and their ear—a funnel of sound. Whisper then— loudly, silently, stridently, demonstratively, whisper what you have to say. Maybe it isn’t a secret at all. Maybe you’ll subsequently whisper the same into every ear in the room. No matter. Get up close to that listening ear and whisper.
