Perk Up Your Voice For Your Podcast

Podcasting is a great marketing tool to enhance your profile, business, and advertising income. Are you presenting your speaking voice in the best way to draw your listener into your podcast? The listener hopes to hear a tip or strategy which will help them to advance their career or business, or improve their life style.

You need to sound natural, clear and authoritative. Many of my clients want to be part of this leading edge of marketing and connect with the listener using podcast technology. They are newbies at how to do a podcast. The key element for success is to have your voice augment your podcast and not be the distraction to your message. The other elements are to familiarize yourself with your podcast equipment and allow professional voices to partner with your podcast. Here are the approaches to take so you can integrate your podcast with your voice.

The #1 approach is to tune-up your voice regularly because last-minute stress will affect your sound:

· Do diaphragmatic breathing and stretching exercises so you have a fuller relaxed sound

· Repeat tongue twisters to loosen your lips, teeth, tongue, and jaw muscles to sound sharper

· Keep your tone sounding relaxed with a focus on helpful tips to the listener

· Use your voice with passion so the listener is drawn into your examples

The #2 approach is to try your voice with your podcast equipment to become familiar with the process:

· Record with your microphone and podcast equipment to achieve confidence

· Aim for a conversational sound not a rehearsed script, but follow an outline of points

· Add energy and a varied inflection throughout your podcast to avoid a monotonous tone

· Do not rush through your podcast, but focus on giving short clear points

The #3 approach is to partner with the professionals to sound like an expert yourself:

· Hire a professional radio voice to act as an interviewer for your podcast

· Partner with a podcast technician for the editing, adding music intro's and exits, and tips on microphone sound

· Go to a voice coach to assess your voice, particularly if your voice sounds scratchy, hoarse, or too breathy

· Partner with other related businesses for them to sponsor your podcast or be their guest expert

If you follow these key approaches to doing a podcast you will be more successful at keeping a subscription of listeners to your podcast. You will be able to create numerous podcasts as part of branding yourself. Ultimately, your listeners will look forward to listening to the information on your podcast and to hearing the sound of your voice.
