  • Welcome to the show.

    Performing, it's the way many of us learned to deliver our message even as children. But performing can be very problematic when it comes to connection and authenticity. Today, I'm working with Helen and she reveals that she has a tendency to feel the need to perform.

    It's a common voice mask and it blocks connection, it prevents authenticity. So what's the good in it? Your subconscious feels like it's good, because it protects the real version of you from getting out so you are not judged, rejected or abandoned.

    I think you'll like this episode!

  • Welcome to the show!

    Today I'm doing a micro voice audit with Ashley M. I love this conversation because this is so common for so many of my students.

    I think I sound like X or I want to sound like X but I sound like Y.

    This is huge and the VERY reason you can't just go think your way through changing your Psychology of the Voice.

    This is the deep work.

    The really deep work and it's important work.

    Now more than ever because your ideal clients are seeking sounds, they are seeking connection and authenticity, they are seeking you.

  • Welcome to the show!

    In today's episode, I'm talking about a statistic that I hear weekly and sometimes daily being quoted. The statistic is, that only 7% of the message is interpreted via words and the balance is through voice and nonverbals.

    It's not accurate, it was never meant to be used as a research point the way it is being used.

    What is my problem with that you ask?

    People are not doing their due diligence on what they teach, this is a problem when it comes to buyer trust which is at an all time low.

    The people that are just taking this statistic and teaching to it would not be doing it if they knew the data was seriously flawed and it is.

    You can't quantify a statistic like that with on 32 participants in the study and they were given limitations on words which would sway the study.

    The point though is that people need to take more accountability for doing the work instead of the easy and lazy way out of just posting something and not doing the work behind it. It's not fair to the consumer to be told information that is not true.

    It's a problem, it's a big problem and all of us will reap the fallout from it. Do the work, honor the buyer enough to do the work.

    Yes, voice plays a HUGE role in the delivery of the message, in fact I've reflected on this statistic before from the perspective of how it's inaccurate because voice holds more weight.

    Truth be told, you may not like this episode and you may not like my take on it. That's okay. Integrity, delivering quantifiable information to best serve my listener's and students is everything to me. Being liked is just a bonus!

  • Welcome to the show.

    Over the month of March I'm going to be featuring a lot of women's voices and in most of my solo shows I'll be talking about specific things that women deal with in relation to their voices.

    Today, I'm going to be talking about the neuroscience of pitch specifically in relation to women's voices and how higher pitch can be problematic. I'm referencing the Huberman Lab podcast and Chris Voss in this episode.

    In NO way am I being critical of women's voices. Women have a lot of societal implications around their voices, many of them lead to women speaking in a higher pitch, getting stuck in a high pitch and not even speaking in their real voice.

    There are definite issues around speaking at a higher pitch constantly in relation to how the brain processes sound which is exactly the angle I'll be talking to in this episode.

  • Welcome to the show!

    Today I've got a great guest for you. Laurie Wright, a former student is joining me today to discuss life after 50 and finding your spark.

    Laurie is a trailblazer and the work that she does to empower women (mostly) to live there best life after 50 is powerful work.

    Laurie and I talk about so many great things in this episode including how to find your spark and why we often settle for what we have and that's it. Laurie shares ways to find your spark and so much more.

    This is an episode you don't want to miss!

    She also has a podcast called “Living Your Sparked Second Half” where she covers topics intended to inspire listeners to live a happier and more fulfilling second half.

  • Welcome to the show!

    Today is one of my favorite conversations I've ever had on the Captivate the Room podcast. Today, I've got my former client and entrepreneur Christina Jandali with me. I've had the pleasure of working with Christina and helping the students in her program so I can say with full integrity, she delivers.

    In fact, that is one of the big things we are talking about today, the expectation of the buyer in 2024 and how people are seeking higher touch.

    We also have an excellent conversation around why buyer trust is shot and Christina has some incredible insight on this.

    But, the best part is she shares a communication strategy on the episode that is very similar to what I teach companies around the world.

    I know you are going to gain so much insight from this episode!

  • Welcome to the show!

    Today I want to talk about a former client of mine that made a few specific shifts and yielded incredible results. I believe the process here in Psychology of the Voice is key and ultimately what delivers results. However, many times one or two specific things we shift become the lynchpin for shifting everything when it comes to making more money, having more confidence and commanding the space.

    Today, I'll tell you specifically about a few things that I shifted in my client's voice and the results he yielded were unparalleled!

    Don't forgot to join me and Sara Connell for the Your $1 Million Dollar Talk on February 7th.

  • Welcome to the show!

    Today you are in for quite a treat as I've got something totally different for you. In today's episode I'm doing some live coaching with Rosalyn Rourke on her audio book.

    Audio book sales are a huge part of the overall revenue when it comes to selling book but having a voice that makes people want to listen is critical.

    The number of times I've heard from people that they could not listen to the audiobook of a book they longed to hear but they just couldn't because of the reader's voice.

    When I coach someone in putting a book on audio it is the same methodology, Psychology of the Voice.

    If a reader performs, or has no inflection people won't be able to connect or listen.

    If a reader is over or under done, the audience won't be able to stay with them. There are a million nuances I find in a voice but especially in doing work like I'm doing today with Rosalyn.

    I know you are going to love this episode!

    Make sure you join me and Sara Connell for our upcoming Your $1 Million Dollar Talk Free Training on 2/7/24

  • Welcome to the show.

    Today I've got another episode where I'm working with a voice. Today is the voice of Kelli and this was absolutely one of my favorite episodes of voice audits. Why? Because there was such a breakthrough for her when I was able to tell her WHY her ideal client wasn't buying.

    This is huge and what I'm hoping to get through to everyone. Your voice is misrepresenting you. It does not matter what you think you are doing, it matters what they are hearing and processing.

    It's critical that your voice represents the real you, the authentic you and in Psychology of the Voice, that means we have to unearth, unmask and unleash before you can really be at the place where your ideal client says...I have to work with you!

  • Welcome to the show!

    Today I'm talking about quantifiable evidence and responsibility. My most recent research study made something clear that I already suspected. Buyer trust is shot. It's gone.

    The primary reason for this is because everyone became an expert overnight but they couldn't deliver results. Buyers have been burned.

    Today I'm talking about how important it is as consumers to ask to see the data, to stop seeking a silver bullet and to ask better questions.

    As service providers to be able to explain, not justify, quantify and deliver whatever is they are selling.

    Maybe you aren't expert yet and that's okay, but you are doing the work to become one, that's what matters.

  • Welcome to the show! You are in for a treat today.

    I've got my former client Anna Powers with me here on the show today and she's been on the show before to talk about her successful work and business where she trains copywriters to write conversion copy.

    Today, Anna and I flip the script and while we do touch on her business we talk about many of the things that people are far too often afraid to discuss.

    Life mastery can get overwhelming at times, being a mom and a business owner...everyone has a lot on their plates and Anna and I discuss the challenges and best practices to be able to live our best lives.

    I know you will love this conversation no matter who you are or what stage you are at in your life.

  • Welcome to the show, welcome to 2024!

    Hard to believe it's another year. As I head into the 9th year of the show I am excited about some changes I'll be making this year to make the show even better!

    In today's episode I'm talking about out with the old and by that I mean out with the old remnants of sound that are costing you everything.

    Out with the remnants of blocks of sounds that are keeping us from connecting with you and keeping you unable to play big and authentic.

    All three of these things are critical for 2024, connection, authenticity and playing much, much bigger!

  • Welcome to the show!

    Today I've got an important episode for you. Show me the data is something I expect my consumers to demand of me. I believe it is incredibly irresponsible to just copy what others are doing.

    There is a big difference between copying and being influenced. Being influenced by to create, I'm great with in fact I had some of the greatest voice masters of our time influence my work and my God given gift. But, we have lost trust as buyers because people are sharing information that they have no proof on, no proof it works, can't quantify where it comes from and more.

    In today's episode, I'm breaking down why data is so important and how it influenced my recent research on trust and buying.

  • Welcome to the podcast!

    Today I've got one of my favorite people on the show. My former student Tami Imlay is with us to talk about joy! What a great thing to talk about. Far too often we get buried under the weight of our life and completely remove ourselves from any type of joy. In today's episode Tami and I discuss joy, how we sabotage ourself from goodness, managing stress and navigating the weight of life that we feel far too often.

    I know you will receive so much joy from listening to this episode!

  • Welcome to the show!

    In today's episode I'm talking to those of you that don't like your voice.

    Now, this might not be you but I think you'll find this discussion valuable in relation to your voice and what you might not recognize but also in relation to other's voices. When you are communicating with someone or even from the perspective of your own voice, the wound plays a significant role. Wound or wounds from our life are coming out in the voice choices you make and you do not even realize it.

    This is a paradigm shift that I want you to be able to make. Inner freedom, confidence, connection and the success you seek is on the other side of this very topic...if you really want to be set free!

  • Welcome to the show!

    In today's episode I'm talking about the mistakes we make by doing what we've always been told will work, grabbing attention. Our quest to hook, to grab, to make sure people hear and notice us is faulty. In fact, this quest can cause us connection and authenticity very quickly. But the key here is that trying to get my attention does not work. Maybe it did at one point but it won't work now.

    The paradigm has shifted and your listener, buyer, person is seeking something very specific before they decide if they will listen to you and let me tell you, it's not grabbing them.
