How do you train yourself to have a poker face?

Maintaining a poker face involves tending to your tone of voice. Speak low and slow. Reduce your rate of speech, which may speed up if you're angry or fearful. Speak from your diaphragm (your lower abdomen) to produce a deeper and more resonant voice.
