Our voice does something a text message or email can’t: it carries nuance, tone, emotion, breath and intention.✨

Social psychology tells us that neural entrainment happens when we speak to someone. This means that our brains and nervous systems begin to synchronize through our shared rhythms of speech, attention, facial expression, and gesture.

You’ve probably experienced this when you’re in really good conversation with someone. Connection is made.💫

Studies show that people are 34 times (!) more likely to enter into a business relationship with someone when they have spoken to them in person rather than communicated by email only. A video call and telephone call rank slightly lower but still prove to be more effective than an email.🙏

If you are avoiding speaking in public, whether that be in a 1:1 meeting or in front of a larger group, you are missing a huge opportunity to make meaningful connections.

If fear is holding you back, know that these are learnable skills.💪

Mary Oliver wasn’t talking about the voice when she wrote “keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable” but she could have been!✨

Technique gives you options. But if you’re only ever trying to control every sound, there’s no room left to be present, to be in the moment.🙏

True vocal freedom isn’t technique OR surrender, it’s technique that’s is embodied enough to let go of and where our unique voice emerges.💫

Leave room for the unimaginable.😊

Never mind comfort. Focus on courage.💪

Most people think they need to feel comfortable to be an impactful speaker. However, chasing comfort can actually make you mediocre, because your audience isn’t looking for your comfort. They’re looking to feel connected and moved.

When you focus on your own comfort, your attention turns inward. And you can’t connect with an audience while you’re worried about yourself.
Choosing courage instead changes everything.

Courage means feeling the fear and doing it anyway, proving to your nervous system that you can do scary things and thrive, not just survive. That is when it stops being about you and starts being about them.🙏

So instead of comfort…focus on ease and courage.

Take the attention off yourself, and be fully present for your audience.✨

Confidence is important however you can be fully confident, but not very interesting or compelling or influential as a speaker.

Study show that a listener is drawn in by novelty. They want to hear a variety of prosodic elements. These include pitch, rhythm, volume… basically the things you do when you are feeling very loosey-goosey and telling a great story to your besties.☺️

You would think it would be easy to translate that into speaking in more formal or high stakes situations however, when we get nervous, we tend to narrow our expressiveness as we struggle to gain control of our nerves, and our voices.😬

We can learn to work in and through those nerves to speak with a voice that is both confident and fully expressive. 💫

➡️If you are ready to learn the skills needed to be not only a more confident speaker, but a fully expressive and compelling one, join my upcoming group coaching program starting September 11:

Speaking with more influence is a learnable skill.

One of the key elements I’ve found lacking in the executive coaching / business leadership training I’ve studied is that there’s often no clear teaching on HOW to achieve the prescriptive suggestions being made.

For example, I have clients who come to see me because they’ve been told they need to project their voice better in meetings, that they need to be clearer, or that their voice lacks “gravitas” — all with no explanation of what that actually means, or HOW they can integrate that feedback and improve their vocal expression.

As a result, I often see people feeling like there’s something wrong with their voice, or with themselves. Because no one’s offered them a way to develop these skills, they assume they should be able to figure it out on their own — and that’s simply not true. These are SKILLS, not innate abilities. And that’s where a good vocal coach comes in.🙌

There is absolutely no shame in seeking the help you need. We don’t feel bad about hiring a personal trainer when we want to optimize our physical fitness — your voice is no different.💪

➡️If you are ready to level up your skills and become a more confident speaker I have a group coaching program starting September 11:

Voice. Presence. Influence. is a six-week live on Zoom group coaching programme for those who want their voice to reflect the expertise, confidence, and authenticity they already possess.

Warming up your voice before a speech, presentation. performance or even before a meeting is not about just getting the cobwebs out- it’s how we make ourselves more available to our listener.

It’s also how we unlock a more influential voice- one that can connect with an audience.

By failing to explore just what your voice is capable of you are denying yourself the chance to communicate with your whole self.

For most of us, the version of our voice that we use in our day to day lives does not begin fully represent what we are capable of. To have a powerful vocal presence we need to move beyond the ordinary to the extraordinary.💫

If you are ready to explore the full potential of your vocal presence join me for my upcoming group coaching program:

Voice. Presence. Influence.

It begins September 11.

Listening is just as much a part of speaking or singing as making the actual sound is ... but, it’s not about listening aurally it’s about going inwards to connect your internal world with the external world.🌎

Voice is an inner impulse transformed by body breath and vibration into sound.💫

🦋Tuning into the sensations of our body is much more helpful than trying to listen just with our ears.
