“Who hasn't listened to their own voice on a video or a tape and thought: "Is that what I really sound like? This podcast opened my eyes to the idea that so much of our self-identity is contained in our voice--both how we hear it "in our heads" and how we hear it from a recording device. Getting into both the physiology of how we support our voice with our breath, diaphragm and musculature (but in a way that is so interesting and interactive) AND the psychology of what we do to our voice and what our voice does to us...listenting to this podcast is like coming across that documentary that you didn't know you needed but after you watched it made you say: "Whoa, that is so cool! I had no idea how all of that works!" As a guy, I was particularly moved and educated by one of the episodes where the host and her guest talked about how women have been silenced by male leaders for generations and how girls are often signaled to literally silence themselves--and how that societal pressure can actually manifest itself by causing women to use their muscles and lungs as they speak in different ways than guys do. Fascinating and heartbreaking. Similarly, the discussion with a gay man about what a "masculine" or "feminine" voice really is and what value judgments we place on ourselves when we sound to ourselves differently than what we want to portray was also touching and revealing. Just a great exploration of an underappreciated topic that will be enjoyed by anyone with an intellectual curiousity about how we crazy humans work. Loved it!”Read full review »

“In just three episodes, Ive learned so much that I can literally apply to my own life.
Im not a performer of any sort, but as a person who needs to communicate to others (like all humans) there is so much interesting insight in here.
It's clever people talking about interesting things...”Read full review »
