Captivate the Room

Welcome to the show!

I hear this all the time...I'm great when the people are in the program but I'm not when I'm trying to get them in the program.

Sound familiar?  This is really costing you!

Today, I'm talking about what I call circumstantial authenticity.

Interview Summary: The transcript appears to be a recording of a podcast episode hosted by Tracy Goodwin, an expert on voice and communication. [00:41] The main topic discussed is the challenge that entrepreneurs and business owners face in being authentic and connecting with potential clients before they have made a sale or joined a program. [04:33] The host discusses how the internal psychology and "voice masks" that people use to protect themselves can lead to inauthentic and off-putting communication that repels potential clients, even though the person may be able to connect better once the client has already made a purchase. [12:11]

Interviewee Background: This is not an interview transcript, but rather a solo podcast episode hosted by Tracy Goodwin, who is described as an internationally known voice expert, award-winning speaker, and someone who has taught hundreds of people around the world to make a bigger impact with their voice. [00:41]

• Entrepreneurs and business owners often struggle to be authentic and connect with potential clients before they have made a sale or joined a program, even though they are able to connect better once the client is already in the program. [04:33]

• This is due to the "voice masks" and internal psychology that people use to protect themselves, which can lead to inauthentic and off-putting communication that repels potential clients. [12:11]

• The host believes that at least 30% of potential sales are lost due to this issue, as potential clients are turned off by the inauthentic communication before they make a purchase. [11:56]

• The solution lies in doing the internal work to "unearth, unmask, and unleash" the authentic voice, which requires addressing the underlying wounds, fears, and stories that are driving the inauthentic communication. [15:51]

"I think a lot of times people think about voice. [03:26] Well, I'm not a podcaster. Well, I'm not a speaker. Well, I don't sell anything. Your relationships will dramatically improve when you rewrite the psychology of your

Today, I've got a former student and powerhouse of a woman with me.  Unyime Oguta is here today and we are talking all about permission slips, leadership and why it's hard for women to fully step into their power.

You certainly don't have to be a woman to get a ton from this episode but no doubt, Unyime and I discuss the social implications around women's voices and how we as female leaders stand in our power and authority.

This was a unique and thoughtful episode that I know you are going to love. Unyime and I go deep on questions and answers that matter when it comes to propelling our lives forward and serving our purpose well.

Life coaching with Unyime is deeply transformative, with results that create a ripple effect of thriving, fulfillment, and legacy. Her personal journey from burnout to thriving, coupled with her professional background, has equipped Unyime with the unique ability to guide women through their own transformations that break generational cycles of seeking worthiness through achievement, and foster a legacy of empowerment, satisfaction, and impactful living.

As a trauma-responsive and anti-racist coach, Unyime offers collaborative, bespoke experiences to every client, underpinned by principles of simplicity, fun, and self-mastery, that will leave them leading a life that feels rewarding on the inside as it looks successful on the outside.

Welcome to the show.

The work I do is not about adding technique, it's about healing wounds that have created masks of sounds that are costing you.

Masks are sounds, masks come from stories, stories come from wounds.

It's the sounds that are ultimately costing you but in order to truly eradicate them and find your authentic voice we have to go to the why behind the why behind the why...that's where we find the wound.

That's what I'm talking about today, this is the work!

Welcome to the show!

This week I go back to the beginning, the beginning of my story and the story of how I created Psychology of the Voice.

In this episode, I share how I was beaten up in a play and how that affected everything in my voice.

The story is not graphic but it I was beaten.

Every voice matters and everyone needs to be heard.

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.

Would you be interested in a 20-minute micro voice audit to find out how you are being processed in the subconscious of your listener?  Just send over an email to [email protected]

Welcome to the show!

Today's consumer is seeking real connection and authenticity in an AI world.  What I find is, people understand the concept of connection and authenticity but often don't know how to dish it up or that it actually happens in their voice...or not.

In today's episode I'll be addressing the why behind the critical need to connect and reveal your authentic voice.  Stay tuned, I'll do a part two to tell you much more about the how.

Join me live on June 12th at 1pm EDT for my next free masterclass.

Welcome to the show!

You've done the work, and it's been hard and you have moved your life forward and here I come telling you I can hear a wound.  It's infuriating for many of my client's.  But, here's what I want you to know...you can do the work, that's clear to me but the wound healed or unhealed MUST be moved out of your voice as well.

In Psychology of the Voice, I look at the internal and the external, they are connected and both must be dealt with.  In today's episode I'm working with Mica on the healed wounds that are still in her voice.

If you want to make a bigger impact with your message and move the wounds out of your voice, then join me for the upcoming Voice Experience https://www.captivatetheroom.com/experience 

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!

You aren’t a people pleaser?  You'll still learn a ton in this week’s episode including what sounds are working against you when it comes to connecting with your buyer, how they are processing you, and the experience you will create for them... plus so much more.

If you are a people pleaser, listen up…  there are sounds that are coming out of your voice that are costing you revenue.

A number of specific sounds I hear in people pleaser’s voice actually tell the buyer not to buy.

If you are the expert, why are you asking my permission?  You aren’t… well, there is a sound in your voice that lilt’s up at the end of your sentences and that makes me think you are asking me.

Bothering people?  Is that a concern of yours?  Well, it’s in your voice.

What people don’t realize is that selling is not just about the words, the offer, it’s about the connection, the feeling, the experience and ALL of that happens in the voice.

In this week’s episode of the Captivate the Room podcast, I’ll be breaking down how the people pleasing mask hurts your sales.
