I’m kind of embarrassed to post this… because it’s SOO rambly and I’m tired in it…
but also, well… it’s authentic to who I am at the moment I recorded it…
Dilemma!
So I’m posting it anyway.
My question today: Can you change your voice without changing… yourself? It might feel like your voice is fixed. Or that if you change your voice you will lose your identity.
In this scrappy video, I talk about the process for changing the voice and whether it is true that it’s so tied into our sense of self that change is impossible.
I talk about:
*My story… how I was taught to hide through my voice.
*The counter-intuitive problem with trying to sound “more confident.”
*3 factors that affect how your voice sounds.
*Why training your voice is a bit like training your body through exercise.
*How you can absolutely learn to become louder, clearer, with your voice… or speak in another accent.
