Authentic Voice Academy

If you're a public speaker or a performer who struggles with overwhelming nerves, getting stuck in your head, or hiding when you truly want to be seen…

Change is possible.

In the nine lessons of Authentic Voice Academy, you’ll learn tools for identifying and moving between nervous system states, so you can show up in front of others with genuine presence and authenticity.

Lesson 1: What is an authentic voice?
Lesson 2: How do we change our habits?
Lesson 3: What if our nerves aren’t bad? (Models for understanding the nervous system)
Lesson 4: What if we’re already great at being present?
Lesson 5: Free your body language & breathing
Lesson 6: Free your voice
Lesson 7: Clarify your message
Lesson 8: Memorize without turning into a robot
Lesson 9: Putting it into practice!
