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. :)

Good tips - I also recommend a voice over class - it helped me a lot. Comments from class students were helpful too... I have found people do not hear words the same.... Another tip that worked for me is, if you script a podcast or something - Start reading it out loud at home, like when making coffee & breakfast, doing daily shores, watering the lawn and so forth - also I record and remix through a mixer in post... Just some thoughts.

Hey Man, thanks for the info. people always told me that I have a radio voice. I said to myself that I don't think so. I feel that my voice is too deep. people use to pick on me of my voice when I was young. So, by listening to you it gave me some tools to use to get over what I hear in my voice. like you also said, it is a mental thing. Thanks! keep helping people with your work.

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.

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.

Hey Shannon, Thanks for your videos..We have a difficulty in the flow of the speech being Indians while we have great technical content to be podcasted to the world. Though English is popular in India, I strongly feel flow should be fast enough to create energy and interest in the whole pod-casting experience. I see big difference between the native English speakers and Non-natives in the pod-casting arena. Sometimes I feel that I have to write the whole speech in order to avoid the missing of flow. But I don't like to do that as I am really good speaker outside the pod-casting environment. How to overcome this? Will this be a big problem for successful pod-casting? Please give some tips for Non-native English speakers.

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
