Dialogue
- Balam: Hello, friend!
- Balam: Sorry to put you on the spot like this, but from where you're standing, is there anything about my voice that sounds a bit off?
Not at all, it's positively booming.
- Balam: Phew... Thank goodness for that.
- Balam: Seems like there was nothing wrong with that drink I just had after all. Though my throat still feels a bit sticky...
- Balam: A host's voice is their greatest weapon, so we can't get careless with it.
- Any tips for maintaining a healthy throat?
- Balam: Exercise more! The trick is to stay healthy.
- Balam: You heard that right. The only way to keep your spirits up so you can speak confidently is by staying healthy.
- Balam: Projecting your voice so that everyone hears it when you're up in a hot air balloon isn't easy, especially when you're competing against the roar of the crowd and the contestants' impassioned cries.
- Balam: I get through so much water over the course of a competition that I could even drink the People of the Springs dry!
- Balam: Oh, and speaking of which, if you want to keep your throat in top shape, you should drink more water and less unhealthy beverages!
But drinks make people happy...
- Balam: Do they, then? Well, guess there's no choice in the matter. I suppose we'll have to just compromise on one item here, then?
- Balam: As I see it, drinking water isn't exactly something too sad, but some prefer sweeter things.
- Balam: Alright, then, let's have ourselves a little pick-me-up.
