Episode #23 8 Techniques for Making a Bigger Impact w/ Your Voice Behind the Mic
Welcome to the show!
Today I’m doing a bit of a top 10 list, even though I’m only giving you 8 tips!
Video is so everything right now and with the overall movement of video, live streaming, online courses, podcasting and beyond, I thought I’d give a few tips that are especially key for those getting behind the mic.
Now, these tips are great for live speaking and conversation but are specifically geared to behind the mic in one form or another.
What I’ve found over the years is that people, even people who are okay presenting live, tend to stumble a little bit when they go live or get behind the mic or on camera. That’s normal because, well, what your doing is not the norm and there are some major pitfalls that you don’t have to deal with when you are speaking and talking live.
In this episode I’ll give you some tips for dealing with some of the most challenging…now, these are all voice tips. While being on camera is as second nature to me as real life, these tips don’t cover body and movement on camera. I’ll do a specific episode for on camera technique, but for now, start applying some of the voice strategies you learn today.
In this episode I’ll cover things like:
Bringing the words to life
Pausing
Pacing
Vocal Variety
Scripts and more.
In addition to talking about the central problem, I’ll give you some tips to fix these issues so you increase your following and your success and of course, your revenue.

Episode #19 Captivating the Audience and Customer w/ Vocal Variety
Welcome to the show!
The voice is the orchestra of the heart. The words are everything and they are nothing, it’s how we bring them to life that make people feel something.
I’m really excited about the concept I’m going to introduce you to today. Vocal variety. This is one of my all time favorite voice topics and I really love to teach it. Now, we won’t go into all the elements specifically today, but be on the lookout for more individual episode’s where I teach you step by step how to add in each variety element.
People miss variety for a number of reasons. Perception, that they think they are doing it is a big one. Other factors are patterns that get in the way or go to’s relying on the same variety element and thinking your making a big impact when you really are doing the same element over and over.
There are five elements of vocal variety. If you play all of them, you play a full orchestra, the orchestra of the heart for that matter. But, most people just play one, or two or they get a little bit louder on their voice pattern.
The five elements of vocal variety, I’ll teach you today are:
Pausing
Elongation
Speed variables
Pace variables and Pitch variables.
I’ll also talk about how to use variety and why it’s so key. More specific details of each element will come in future episodes.
Vocal variety is really important! It’s in the variety that you touch our senses and in turn affect our emotions.
I can’t wait for you take a listen.
