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.

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!

Episode #37 Voice Barriers and How They Are Your Hurting Your Sales and Your Business
Welcome to the show!
Today I’m talking about voice barriers. I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of them but they are really getting in the way of your business, your sales, your success!
Voice barriers are the invisible barriers that go between you and your customer or audience or students. Barriers are created through the tone of the voice, the quality of the voice, the variety or lack thereof and so much more. We hear the frustration, the anger, the desperation if it’s laid into the voice.
Voice barriers have to go because they can be exactly what is costing you sales. I’m always fascinated when I work with people and when I ask them to do a sales pitch everything in their voice changes, EVERYTHING.
Don’t let voice barriers get in the way of your success, learn how to get rid of them!
Make sure you visit www.captivatetheroom.com and get your free voice assessment before the end of the year. Head into 2017 ready to make a big impact, sound confident and have a voice that makes people listen.
