Your Voice Isn't Weird – It's Unique –

  1. Your Voice Isn't Weird - It's Unique - Dave Jackson 8:27

Today we are talking about people who may not be a fan of their voice because it sounds different, or weird, and I want to let you know how that is a good thing.

Think about this:

  • Steve Nicks
  • Bob Dylan
  • Louis Armstrong
  • Axl Rose
  • Lane Stanely
  • Ozzy Osbourne
  • Geddy Lee
  • Amy Lee
  • Michael Jackson
  • Chris Stapleton
  • Tom Petty

All of the singers have very identifiable voices. They instantly stand out, and you either Love them or hate them, and either is OK. So if you’ve had people say things about your voice (maybe it’s too high or too low), it’s yours, and you should embrace it.

But What If I DON’T Have a Unique Voice?

You don’t have to have a unique sounding voice to be successful in podcasting. Your “Voice” is more than the tone of your voice. It’s your background, your history, and your experiences that shape your opinions, and your opinions are YOURS and people want to hear them.

Jelly Roll is a singer who had a horrible childhood. However, in the documentary on Hulu, you see where his music resonates with others who have had a childhood that wasn’t all puppy dogs and rainbows. 

You have something to say, and to not get it out into the world is something to grieve over. I can help you be heard. Go to www.schoolfpodcasting.com/ypco to save on a monthly or yearly subscription.
