How do you, as a podcaster, make an emotional connection with your listeners to grow your podcast?
Through the power of your natural voice
Welcome to The Podcaster’s Guide to a Visible Voice, a podcast about podcasting for podcasters who want to be more confident to speak with spirit. Get your ears ready for bite-sized episodes with voice coaching and podcasting tips. You’ll discover what it takes to be a powerful podcaster with your host Mary Chan, as she shares techniques, mindset shifts, and goes beyond the typical how-to talk into a microphone, but she loves to talk about that too. She’ll guide you on your podcasting journey to level up your show or even start one.
As a Voice-Over Artist and former radio producer for almost 20 years, she’ll share with you what she’s learned from creating, recording, and editing, hundreds of thousands of voices; from newbie clients who had to read their very first script to seasoned professionals voicing the very same commercials you hear on the radio and TV. They all have one thing in common with you – they made an emotional connection to a listener, not by the words they use, but by how they use their voice.
