Before a workshop, training, or speech, which do you spend more time thinking about: what you will say or how you will say it?

Joep Hegger would argue that your voice — your tonality and delivery — are just as critical to successful communication as the words you use. And he has plenty of research to back this up!

In this episode, Joep and I explore the enormous power of vocal training and the impact an intentionally projected voice can have on outcomes. This feels like a topic we will hear much more about in the future — you can get ahead of the trend and add it to your repertoire with this episode!

Find out about:

• How science explains why our voices make our first impressions
• Why mirroring isn’t exclusive to our body language
• What happens when a facilitator speaks with openness, calmness, and confidence
• What defines a trustworthy voice
• The relationship between physical tension and outward expression
• How you can change different vocal elements to communicate in different ways
