‘Learning to sing is learning to find your voice’

Hello You the Shropshire podcast is about people, and stories. It’s also about amplifying the voices of people you might not hear from otherwise … or giving them a voice in the first place.

Cathy Beech also gives people their voices. She helps them to discover the voices they may not even believe they have.

Cathy’s a vocal coach with her own singing school, Angel Voice. She’s based in the Welshpool area and extending the reach of her work further into Shropshire. If you love to sing, or would love to sing, you’ll be interested in her work.

‘When your child dies, you’re constantly looking for your child, even though you know they’re not there’

Cathy Beech has faced a lot in her life, from debilitating illness that silenced her and obstacles in her career path to the heartbreaking loss of her baby son. In this episode of Hello You the Shropshire podcast, she tells her story.

Also in Hello You 144:

Loving autumn for lots of reasons, the final flutter of the Whole Flags Thing, politicians pumping iron (oh mate) and filming TikToks in your garage …

Why not share all this with your friends and colleagues?

Book me to speak!

I could be the next guest speaker for your group or organisation in the Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin or West Midlands area!

I have a 20-minute talk entitled ‘Lessons Learned’ which I’d gladly share with your meeting. Among other things, it reveals why I disappeared from the radio suddenly, never to return …You might be shocked (or perhaps not?), and there’s plenty of fuel for a Q&A and group discussion, so if your group, club, guild, meet-up or networking event would like an accomplished speaker with powerful stuff to share, get in touch!

Thank you for being there
