I really wanted to like this podcast. When I listen to Samara’s voice, I feel emotionally dysregulated. Her voice sounds too high strung and she speaks too fast for my taste.

This show is equal parts entertaining, educational, and therapeutic.

Samara is an amazing person all around. Smart, capable and interesting presentation and episodes about a topic I have often wondered about. Love, love, love that she put this in a podcast format.

This is basically the podcast I never knew I needed in my life. Full disclaimer, I’m an actor so I love hearing about the technical side of using my voice, but this podcast is SO much more than that. Yes, it’s for people who use their voice as a part of their craft, but it’s actually for...Read full review »

Breath of fresh air.

We don’t change the broken parts of the world, of which there are many, until the people who have the stories and ideas feel their voices matter and they have *permission* to use them. What Samara is doing is brilliant and everyone should be listening to learn and better remember that powerful...Read full review »

This podcast is amazing. It’s just packed with insights and useful information. Samara is a great host and so much fun to listen to. I am a language nerd and a performer so this content is apropos to my career, but there’s so much potential for everyone out there no matter your interests when it...Read full review »

Listening to Samara’s smooth and comforting voice is something we all need now. The mission of the show is so topical right now, each interview so in-depth, so interesting and educational. Some are more difficult to listen to than others due to the honesty each guest brings to each show, but it’s...Read full review »

The guest and the stories the guest bring are always very appealing. But one big distraction is the host tending to interrupt to share her thought and feelings.It would be a more smooth listening experience if the host can be striking a better balance between hosting and overtalking.

Great interview with Evan. As a survivor I so appreciate everything she went through to speak out for those of us that don’t have that opportunity. I have followed her career and now as a person who loves her acting and singing I can also say I love her as an activist as well. Thank You Evan

Love the content but the interviewer talked over the guest and interrupted many times. Listen more...we’re hear for the insights from the guests.

Love this podcast for the technical and metaphorical tips on how we can use our voice literally and figuratively to express ourselves and realize our full potential. Inspiring women. Looking forward to more!!

Powerful, raw, inventive. Also Samara is hilarious, aware and connected. I need more!!
Kiddybopper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/20
Such a powerful and enjoyable listen. Already learned so much about voice. The title is so accurate too because as a black queer woman I often wait for my time to speak and I know to ask if I’ve truly given myself permission. Also, I have to consider what can I expect to actually be heard...Read full review »

Samara Bay is engaging, fun and knowledgeable. I know voice is big part of how I present myself to the world and I can’t wait to learn more from Samara and her guests about how to harness its power. I also love that they are giving me examples of other engaging and authentic voices to learn from....Read full review »

This podcast is bringing a fresh perspective to the conversation around privilege and power, and even with heavy topics leaves you feeling uplifted. Can’t wait for more episodes!

I had hoped for practical tips and techniques with perhaps some specific examples. After 38 minutes I thought we were finally getting to it, but alas, it was more of the same chatting without direction. I will revisit at some point to see how it evolves.

I have just listened to the Permission to Speak Podcast trailer and I am blown away, subscribed and poised to journey with Samara Bay
LisAngeles007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/20
I’m hooked! Enjoying the interplay of both the physical and tangible voice with the metaphorical and purpose-driven voice. It also has helped me reflect on my own experiences with being told I speak too softly or need to speak up more in reviews at work, thank you!
future mp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/20
Really enjoyed the first two episodes of this podcast. Samara's work is about shining light on the voice (both literal and metaphoric) and the role it plays it creating the self. She's touching on how women and those living outside of traditional power archetypes can redefine the sound...Read full review »

I need this more than ever. We, as a society, need this more than ever. Cannot wait to take a breath and lean into the journey of our voices. Great trailer and episodes, thus far.
Heidi Harding via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/20
Real, fluff-free, and interesting insights about what our speech reveals. The host is engaging and a good listener, too.

Samara Bay has taught me how to speak for major public appearances, but also how to carry myself with confidence in everyday life. I can guarantee that this pod, her brilliance, will blow your mind.

So excited to hear the rest of this podcast from a truly brilliant woman and artist. Let’s change what power looks and sounds like and unconverted our own unconscious biases!!
Bhdeyh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/20
This trailer has me hooked! So excited to learn from and think along with Samara and her guests about what power sounds like in America in 2020, and how folks like women and outsiders can be heard in the moments that matter. Here's to raising more voices!Read full review »
