Susan Wilder ON: Discovering Your Authentic Voice


Listen Later

Our voices are intricately entwined with our psyches: they are a manifestation of self-identity, have evolutionary underpinnings, and can be subconsciously inhibited due to trauma. Through my vocal training as an actor, I actually discovered that I was not using my "authentic voice". My voice coach, Susan Wilder, helped me release the various psychological and societal layers that were holding me back. 

In this episode, Susan sits down with me to discuss: 

  • How to discover if you're using your authentic voice or not
  • How to uncover your true voice
  • How the constructs of society, literature, and science affect specifically women's voices
  • How vocal training has the power to take away the expectations, tension, and false identities we’ve put over the years
  • How the voice and the psyche are so interconnected
  • The evolutionary and survival-oriented underpinnings of how we develop our voices
  • .. and much more! For any inquiries regarding vocal work with Susan, please contact [email protected].
