  • Showing up in the world. Self-promotion, websites and insults, or what are we doing right?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Self-promotion can feel like a dirty word, but as a singing teacher, vocal coach, choir leader or vocal health worker positioned in the arts, how do you show up in the world?

    How important is a website today? What should you have on it? How "big" should it be?

    We've just updated and upgraded the https://vocalprocess.co.uk website (it's live today) and it's been a fascinating process.
    We reduced our mega-website (250+ pages) to about 20+ pages plus blogs, AND we've now (for the first time) got everything we do in one place.
    And it made us examine what our values, our focus and our as vocal trainers and as a voice training business.
    Because make no mistake, we're all in the business of business.
    If you are worried about "self-promotion" or you think it's a dirty word, you need to hear what we have to say about showing up in the world.

    This is part 1 of a 2-part series on self-promotion. This episode of our This Is A Voice podcast is on websites - planning, building, populating, and the reason they are there.
    Part 2 will be on your CV, your resumé, your Curriculum Vitae. How can you bring it up to date, who is it aimed at and what needs to be in it?
