Episode #51 The Voice is Like a Pendulum, Stop Swinging!
Welcome to the show!
Today I’m talking about the voice and how it’s like a pendulum.
Take a listen to Episode #53 here on Itunes
Take a listen to Episode #53 here on Google play
Over the last 25 years, as I’ve been coaching voices, I’ve seen this time and time again.
We tend to swing one way and then the other. We are loud and someone criticizes us so we swing to quiet. That’s just one example of what we do with our voice and how we swing.
It’s essential that we stop the swinging and find the balance. I talk about this a little bit in my episode on core 5 but today, I’m stopping the madness.
Find the balance on all fronts and really step into what true voice power is!
