You may notice the following differences.
1. People kept their mouths shut (except during speaking, eating, drinking, or when experiencing a strong surprise or awe).
2. People spent hours while reading, speaking, and working in the correct posture, which means a straight spine, shoulders back, and the chin up.
3. The gait and other body movements (like standing up, carrying objects, picking objects from the floor, bending, dancing, etc.) were done with a straight spine. Irrelevant muscles were relaxed. One can observe spontaneity, simplicity, effortlessness, co-ordination and grace in their actions.
4. There were no (or few) sighs, deep inhalations or exhalations, coughing, sneezing, etc.
5. The breathing of most people was invisible.
6. There were no deep inhalations before starting to speak or between phrases.
7. People’s voices were deeper, more melodic, and rich in inner thoracic vibrations since normal breathing and higher CO2 values dilate air passages and relax vocal cords.

Be observant. Can you notice these differences in old movies and films?
