Why we struggle to find the words and speaking our truth,
The benefits of using words in an empowering way,
The problem with using words to wound others and why it just doesn’t work,
And More!

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!
If you want to really learn how to sound confident and captivate the audience, especially on camera in live streams and videos, then join my 5-Day Voice on Live Stream Challenge, it starts July 9th and you can sign up here:

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.
**Make sure you join the 5-Day voice challenge I’m rolling out on July 9th, Sound More Confident, Like an Influencer in Your Live Streams and Videos. You can sign up here: http://new.captivatetheroom.com/5-day-challenge-live-stream-like-a-business-influencer/
