  • It’s NOT about the microphone
  • You don’t need anything that you don’t already have
  • It IS all about VOCAL VITALITY - and what that is
  • Vocal Vitality = Awareness + Relaxation (no tension) + Space
  • Awareness and what that is
  • Stress + emotions and how they play a role in your PODCAST
  • Your body cannot tell the difference between perceived danger and real danger
  • Patterns and Behaviors and how they might govern some of your vocal quality
  • We adopt and align to that which we’ve been exposed to
  • What your body has to do with your podcast production
  • Communication Patterns - family communication + cultural influences
  • Dynamic expression to enhance meaning
  • Optimal Alignment with Right Action = Release
  • A teeny tiny bit of breath work
  • The DEPTH of your voice comes from your body - primary breathing muscles: diaphragm & external intercostals
  • The CLARITY of your voice comes from refinement - “The Mask” mouth, jaw, tongue and soft palette
