you still checking this video 5 yrs later 😂

You're welcome. Your impact on the world lies behind your voice. You're going to stumble, talk fast and not be able to get thoughts out in the beginning, but as you practice, you get more confident about what you want to say and how you want to say it. I'm glad this video has helped you out. :)

Same here, I always had love for music but I hate my voice lol. I secretly get inside the car go far away somewhere isolated and then put earphones and start singing lmao 😂😂

Great!! Good luck on the exam!

@@ShannonHernandez thanks :))

Did you pass?

@@asterglaceon I don’t remember that specific one, but i did way better than i expected in my final speaking exam last year! are you studying french? x

​@@namelessarm6273je suis français tu comprends ce que je dis du coup ? 😀

Don't even worry about your voice, my man. What you have to offer to the world is what people will care about the most. I used to hate my own voice too, but after a while you realize that people care about what you say because they don't even care what you sound like. Trust me on this. :)

Same

same and especially as a 13 year old i get a lot of hate for my voice

I'm glad this helps out!!

What I would give to have a deep voice for radio! You've got a gift! You should definitely use it and let others know that you have something you want to share. And don't let the critic on the inside keep you from doing something that you know you are capable of doing. The inner critic is the worst, so you have to just ignore it and all of the other critics and just do your own thing.

When you're passionate about the content, you tend to not worry about your voice at all. Stay passionate because you will inspire someone to listen or even take an action. :)

This makes me happy to hear! If you see an opportunity, then I say go for it!

Aaaaah! I'm glad that you like it! Have you seen the video where I teach you how I get it to be like this?

Shannon Hernandez No I have not, i just found your videos. I'll check it out now though😁

Perfect!! I hope it helps you! Here's the link if you can't find it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJtomc2i2Kfaoqs.html

SirJoseph X you’re so welcome!

I love that you put this example on here. There are a lot of us that are so conditioned to think our voice sounds weird or isn't good enough. I used to HATE my voice before I got into radio and after I started hearing it more and more, I realized the sound of it doesn't even matter to anyone. It's all about practice. :)

I am glad this has helped you out! Once you change your thinking, then you're going to create great things! Glad the tips could help out!

Magic! ✨ 🤗

A true radio voice. My voice is literally torturous on playback because I have a breathing disorder that doctors refuse to acknowledge is real, and I actually don't breathe through my nose very well and everybody in the world can hear that I'm nasal and says that I'm nasal except doctors, who literally think everything is fine +like mouth breathing is actually not fine+ and you know I'm sure that literally 0.0% of the comments are people mouth breathers, or would want to admit it because it's so commonly used as an insult even though it's literally a craniofacial deformity and not the fault of the person who's the mouth breather, so it would be great if the person who made this could actually see this and maybe address the mouth breathing part of it, that when you're a mouth breather you are very nasal and it does sound bad and you do hate the sound of your voice because of that. Not everybody can do what you do.

I’m glad it helped out!

@@ShannonHernandez you still reply to comments and like them?

Don't worry. Only you are the only one that thinks your voice sounds silly. It happens to everyone. Embrace your voice and who you are are. There's no one else out there that's like you, so you might as well love yourself for who you are. You're unique!

Hey thanks! 👍

I just hit my 24th year in radio and I know that I have eventually gotten used to the sound of my voice. I believe this just takes practice hearing it over and over again before you realize that your voice is more about your audience than it is about you. You'll get used to it. I promise. Just keep at it!😎

You're welcome!!

Kash Krop Glad this helped out! Enjoy the start of the day!

Jared Simpson hahaha! Thanks I guess. 😂

Thank you, Rob Flajnik FlanMan!! how ya been?

You're welcome!! I'm glad it has helped!

Funny that you say that, dude. I've been working since January to create more for this channel as I see there is a need for it! I've actually been in front of the computer editing for the past 2 weeks, so things are coming. Definitely subscribe because once I get a few more pieces in place, I'll be sharing a number of things out about podcasting and creating quality listening experiences for people who create podcasts. Promise with a big cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye!

Sometimes you have to just start on your phone in order to get used to it. I remember when I was way younger thinking that my voice wasn't worth being anywhere. 99% of the fear of our own voice. But I can assure you that your ideas paired with your voice are 99% better than the person who doesn't take action with their voice. :) Thanks for watching!

Don't let the world make you feel self-conscious about you and your voice. We already make it hard on ourselves with our own thoughts. Do what makes you happy and remember that the sound of your voice isn't as important as the true sound of your message.

You bet!

You bet! I hope it helps you get over the hump!

You're so welcome!

I'm glad you liked this video. If it makes any difference, just realize that the information that you're going to be presenting is going to be of value to your audience. They really won't care how you sound because they will be more fixated on what you have to offer! Let me know how else I can help! 💪

Shannon Hernandez thanks for the reply brother. That makes a lot of sense. When I listen to podcasts or anything talk radio I never payed alot of attention to their voices. As long as they had good material and can keep me engaged, that was all that mattered. I think as I do this long enough, I will get used to hearing my own voice. Definitely don't want that being the reason not to have my own show. I appreciate the insight. Definitely subscribed!

You'd be surprised by how often I hear someone doesn't start a podcast because they don't like how they sound. The one gift we've been given is our own unique voice figuratively and physically. Most people put themselves down because of it. I want peoe to realize their voice is what makes them unique.

Shannon Hernandez very well put!

I'm glad it has helped!!

Big thanks! I appreciate it, Spencer!

How are you planning on developing that community? Are you doing it now or are you planning on it?

Glad I could help!

You're welcome!

Thanks for watching it! :)

You bet I will!! Is there any particular way you want me to edit the audio? Like, how I would edit a podcast?

Sheryl Loch Hahaha! Yeah, I suppose you have to be somewhat rigid when it comes to coaching people. I know that this is what I experienced when I first got into radio. When I coach new part-timers at the radio station, I tell them, "It's cool if you don't like the sound of your voice. I guess you're not going to be on the radio that long because you're going to *have to get used to it* if you want to be in it for the long haul! Perhaps I'll meet you at one of these conferences sometime soon! We can sound mad together. ;)

You're welcome. Let me know how else I can help out!

I'll try to answer this on this week's edition of The Podcast Therapist! I'm literally getting ready to edit it right now. I can add some bonus stuff to that episode too.

@@ShannonHernandez i just listened to your last podcast! Thank you for answering my question❤️ and it makes total sense more practice, bullet points and just being comfortable with the content I’m producing ☺️

Glad this has helped! Let me know if there's any other way that I can help you out!

Shannon Hernandez Thanks Shannon! I've been watching your vids and they've been very helpful. I just recorded my first podcast recently and I'm really excited (still dislike my voice but hey maybe someday I'll get used to it). There were some awkward pauses/transitions in my podcast (but I can edit the pauses) but perhaps I should make notes for the future. Also, I need better recording equipment. I really want my podcast to be both informational and entertaining like yours! Btw, you have a great speaking voice so you're perfect for Podcasts. I'm envious!

Oh great! It makes me so happy that you have been watching them! And I'm glad that you have been recording and getting your podcast ready for launch! And yes, there are some pauses that you can edit out. As you start podcasting more, you'll actually edit less. :) As for better recording equipment, have you checked out my Quickstart guide? It shows you all the equipment you need to start recording. And thank you for the compliment! I'm still not sure I have a great broadcasting voice, but I know how to use my voice for sure. Anyone can do it, really! :)

Thank you!

I meant it oh, everyone else I listened to was not as thorough and did not discuss things such as getting used to your own voice and wasted practice

ways to practice....spell check lol

Aaaaaah, I️ figured that was what you meant! My phone sometimes doesnt do what I️ want and then I️ screw up entire messages. Haha! I’m thrilled you found this useful. If there is something you would like me to tslk about, please let me know and I️ will put it in a video!

Honestly, I would ignore them and continue to speak. Ignore the haters.

Hi Rani! Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it. Even though I'm not a voice coach in the sense that I know how to make an English accent more fluid, I do know that a lot of it does take a lot of practice learning how to clean up your accent. The practice takes dedicated practice over the course of months. Critically listening to audio from American accents might help a bit. Although, I do believe that your accent will be the defining part about you and your podcast, I wouldn't change that about you too much. Consider a couple of things when it comes to creating your podcast: • Which type of audience are you looking to acquire? • Where do you want them to be from? If you are trying to penetrate a US / UK,market, then you should consider working on cleaning up the accent so that others will be able to decipher your message easier. Typically an acting coach can help you work on your accent and help you overcome that obstacle. If you feel too self-conscious I would recommend reaching out to my friend Vishnu on Twitter twitter.com/neoelemento. Maybe he can offer some insight on this. He's taken the leap into podcasting and may be able share some encouragement. Check out the Writer and Geek show: twitter.com/writerandgeek

This video can help and is mainly for podcasters, but if you don't like the sound of your singing voice, I would recommend you get used to it if that's the thing you want to do.

When the mix is great that shouldn't matter for me it's recording content 😅

I actually have a paid training course on that process if you're interested. I have a deep discount going on it for a little while longer if you're interested in that. You can go to my about section on KZfaq and find my email if you want to reach out to me directly. :)

thanks for the comment! Hmmm, it could be a number of things. It could be the CPU of your computer, but it could also be Audacity itself. Since it's open source software, it might have some bugs. What I do know is that as open source software it's prone to have bugs. Not all are the same for people. Depending on your CPU it could be that. Do you mind if I ask what setup you're using?

@@ShannonHernandez I don't mind at all, and thanks for the quick response! I have a Lenovo ThinkPad with an Intel i5, 2.60 GHz processor, 8 Gigs of ram, and 64-bit Win 10 Pro. I use a USB Marantz Pro Podpack1 and, of course, Audacity. I figured it's probably the computer, but I don't want to invest too much right now until I see if this thing is actually going to go anywhere, lol!! Thanks!

im having the same issue, i cant even reveal my voice to my best friend on discord of a whole year just cause im so self concious of my damn voice

Same

How did it go?

@@Llama_Loca I ended up deleting the video T^T i never posted it onto my channel. I will do a voice reveal when I hit 1000 subs hopefully-

Tuanus huh?
