Do you wish you liked the sound of your own voice?

Do you wish that podcasting came 'naturally' to you?

Do you wish... you sounded more engaging and expressive on your podcast?

If you replied 'yes' to any of the 3 statements above, congrats, this episode is for you! I sat down with one of my favorite humans on the planet, voice over actor, and award-winning podcaster, Nic Redman, to talk about how to do all the above, plus, very actionable tips on easy ways to stop worrying about sounding like an official podcaster.

Nic has over 20 years of experience in the voiceover industry, and she's truly a 'breath of fresh air', making vocal health attainable, actionable, and FUN! This is the type of episode that you MUST watch on YouTube, as Nic and I share a few tips that you need video for, and to be fair, are quite fun to watch!

Topics covered in this episode:

  • Vocal Health

  • How to sound like yourself when podcasting

  • How to sound authentic

  • Finding your voice as a podcaster

  • Vocal Training

  • Vocal Warm-up for Podcasters

Takeaways from this episode:

  • It’s possible to make voice and breath fun. It can also be quick. A 5-minute voice warm-up exercise can save you time and vocal fry!

  • Focus on the content that you’re sharing, and intonation and expression will follow!

  • Taking a big breath before hitting ‘record’ can do more harm than good: you’ll start the episode on a tense state, instead, exhale!

  • Did you know that your vocal freedom is closely tied with the freedom you have to move in your environment?
