Episode #21 Captivate the Customers by Bringing Your Words to Life w/ Your Voice
Welcome to the show!
In today’s episode I’m going to talk about bringing the words to life. Now, I’m going to talk a little bit about vocal variety but I’m really diving into what bringing the words to life really means and why it’s so important.
The words are everything and they are nothing…it’s how you bring them to life that counts!
Words are just words. Ask someone how they felt when they heard…they talk about feelings, impact, emotions, not, words.
The words are important, yes, your customer and audience needs to hear the words…but, by bringing them to life, you touch the audience/customers senses and in turn effect their emotions. THAT is captivating the room, that is connecting…that is getting the audience, buyer, whoever you are talking to, to follow you, get on your list, learn from you, become one of your super fans, buy from you or simply, have their lives changed. All of that takes place in the voice and that is what you are going to learn today!

After over 30 years in broadcasting and marketing, he found himself jobless in Seattle but saved by technology that brought video production and distribution within reach of anyone who has a camera, microphone and access to the internet.

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.
