Episode #82 Stop Relying on Speed to Keep Our Attention
Welcome to the show!
Today we are talking about a topic that I deal with on a regular basis and something that I hear people mention a lot! “I go fast so I can keep my audience’s attention.”
Well, here’s the truth…that will never work. The very thing you are trying to achieve can never happen if you rely on the voice element of speed.
Speed is a wonderful tool, used sparingly but what keeps our attention is being captivated. So, how do you captivate? Well, you use all elements of variety, all five of them and you take us on a voice journey. You become unpredictable. By using just one vocal variety element you are predictable.
When you make that one choice and it’s speed, you are adding more to the mix. When you go fast, we can’t always follow you, in fact, more than not we can’t follow you. Remember, we don’t know what you know. By using speed, you are giving us permission to check out.
I think you’ll love this episode and I have no doubt benefit from it!

Episode #81 Your Voice is Key to Your Sales Success
Welcome to the show!
Today’s episode is very important because it’s about your voice and selling and I mean, who doesn’t sell at some point?
Now you may not sell a product or service but you still have to sell yourself on occasion.
What far too many people don’t realize is that the voice is instrumental in sales success.
Part of the power of voice in selling is in persuasion but the voice also plays a key role in creating connections which are essential to that know, like and trust factor that precedes selling. But the voice is also the instrument that has the ability to make me feel, to touch my emotions. If you want people to buy what your selling or take an action you want them to take, it’s essential to compel them and that is the voice’s job.
In today’s episode, I talk about key ways your voice plays an integral role in your selling success and give a few techniques and tips for what you must have in your voice to increase your sales success.

Episode #78 Is Your Voice Doing its Job?
Welcome to the show!
In today’s episode, I’m talking about the job of your voice, that’s right, your voice has a job to do.
Your voice is the greatest instrument you have to take the audience on a voice journey. Your voice is fully capable of touching our emotions and in turn affecting our senses. If you want to connect with your audience, compel them to take action and captivate the room, your voice needs to do its job.
Part of the problem is your voice has just been locked into submission by your subconscious mind. I get it, your mind is trying to protect your heart and that’s great. But, the result is a voice that can’t fully deliver, can’t fully bring your words to life.
The voice should flow out freely making it easier for others to connect to you,
The voice should utilize all elements of vocal variety to touch our senses,
The voice should take us on a journey, bringing the words to life,
The voice should get us excited about your call to action and inspire us to do so.
Does your voice do all of that? If it does, then you will catapult your success.
If it doesn’t, you might be left wondering what’s wrong. It’s not your words, it’s not what your thinking, it’s your voice not doing what it could do for you.
If you find that your voice is slacking on the job, don’t be too hard on it, it’s just been trained to play it safe. But, now that the light is shining on the darkness, it’s time to step out with bold voice choices, a voice that flows freely speaking your truth, a voice that captivates us by touching our emotions and compels us.

Episode #74 Captivate the Room w/ Bold Voice Choices
Welcome to the show!
I’m really excited about today’s episode because it’s all about pushing you out of your voice box (no pun intended) and into bold choices.
So many times people come to me and they say, “I don’t sound captivating”. I hear you!
What we work on is getting out of the small and limiting voice box they are working in because of fear or their psychology of the voice story or even their perception. People also work in this box because of perfectionism and wanting to get the words just right, in fact relying on the words can cause this to happen as well.
If we want to captivate the audience we have to learn to make bold choices and commit to them!
In this episode, I’ll talk about bold choices,
What they are,
How to make them and how to commit to them.
Once you commit to choices that are bold, exciting and outside of the box your world will begin to change!
