    How to Use Your Voice So Your Audience Feels Something (Without It Sounding Rehearsed)

    Have you ever listened to a speaker and thought, I could listen to them all day? And the content wasn't any better than anyone else's? Often it's the delivery. Your audience will forget what you said long before they forget how you made them feel, and a huge part of how they feel comes from how you use your voice. In this episode, I take you through the expression and delivery part of delivery in my VOICE framework: pace and pause, tone and inflection, and the three voices I use on stage. In this episode: Why your pace tells an audience how comfortable you are, and why variety matters more than speedThree things a pause does for you and your audienceHow a pause helps with ums and ahs, and a tip for podcastsWhat inflection is, and how to bring your voice down to signal convictionThe three voices I use on stage: the Warrior, the Sage and the LoverThe rule of three, and why a microphone is worth takingA two-minute recording exercise that helps whether you're just starting out or a seasoned keynote speakerIf you'd like to go deeper on any of this, I have a few spaces left for my in-person speaker retreat day, Own The Room, on Tuesday 24th November, where we can work on this together.

    Looking After Your Voice: A Speaker's Warm-Up (And Why to Do It Even When You Feel Fine)

    Your voice is the one instrument you'll carry into every room you ever speak in. In this episode, I share why looking after it matters so much to me, and the warm-up I do before I speak, whether that's in the car, walking down the street, or somewhere a bit more private. You'll hear the shorter, podcast version of my story of losing my voice ten years ago, what my speech therapy journey taught me, and how your voice responds to what's going on in your body. Then I walk you through my warm-up step by step, plus the everyday habits that keep your voice healthy for the future of your speaking career. In this episode: Why I warm up my voice even when it feels fine, and why it's about preparing, not repairingA short version of my story: vocal nodules, burnout, and rebuilding my voice with speech therapyHow your breath and your voice respond to pressure, and why a low breath makes your voice warmer, steadier and fullerMy three-part warm-up: breathing, sounds, then wordsA gentle way to begin warming up your voice without saying a single wordTongue twisters for clear articulation, including my favouritesHydration, rest and using a microphoneProjecting your voice safely, without shoutingWhen to get hoarseness checked by your GPTonight at 7.30pm UK time, I'm running my free live masterclass, Your Voice.

    Class Business Live: Personal Brand, Building a Team and What an Awards Night Taught Me About Confidence

    It's half past nine on a Saturday evening, I'm in black tie behind a lectern on a stage in Birmingham, and I'm about to say "and the winner is." In this episode I take you through my weekend at Class Business Live, hosted by Krissy Monaghan, from the inspiring morning talks, to the mastermind table I hosted, to judging and presenting at the awards, to dancing the night away. You'll hear what Matt Hall, Enfys Maloney, Rose Gibson and Jo Simpson shared on stage, the story from a dance school that changed how I think about what we're really preparing young people for, and the questions that came up around my mastermind table about building a team you don't have to micromanage. And I'll share what the whole weekend showed me about confidence, and why I think it's a little nudge to put yourself forward for an award. In this episode: Why personal brand matters more than ever, and what Daniel Priestley says about making things 20 times harder for yourselfBecoming known in your niche, for the right thingsThe ballerina story that changed how I think about my young people at MTAWhy knowing your numbers gives you the freedom to make confident decisionsBuilding a team you don't have to micromanage: incentives, training, an operations manager and an ideal team member avatarCore values, your moral compass, and why it's better to have a gap than a gap filled with somebody who's not fit for the jobWhat it's like to judge business awards, and what a winning entry looks likeHow awards, community and collaboration over competition connect to confidenceIf you'd like to feel more confident speaking about your work, I'm opening four spots on my 1:1 programme, Reclaim Your Voice, and hosting a webinar on Monday 26th October at 7pm to talk you through it.

    How I Actually Learn a Talk (And Why I Don't Memorise It Word for Word)

    Ever watched someone deliver the same talk twice and it sounds completely different both times, while still sounding exactly like them? That's not a great memory. It's how they learned it in the first place. In this episode I walk through exactly how I learn and rehearse a talk, including why memorising it word for word is actually the thing working against you. I cover my main method (writing the full talk out, then condensing to bullet points, then using your finished slides as the final prompt), a few alternative methods for people who need more rigid structure, and the rehearsal process that makes a talk sound alive rather than recited, every single time you give it. In this episode: Why memorising a talk word for word actually works against youMy main method: full script, condensed to bullet points, then slides as the final cueCue cards as a stepping stone if you're not ready to let go of a physical promptAlternative methods for visual and auditory learners, and the most rigid option, if nothing else is landingThe option of learning just the structure and beats, with no memorising at allThe four-stage rehearsal process that keeps a talk sounding authentic instead of over-rehearsedGrab my brand new free resource, the nine steps to build your signature talk, link's in the show notes.

    The Four Things That Actually Build Confidence

    Confidence isn't something you're born with, it's a muscle, one you build rep by rep. In this episode I break down the four things that actually build it, the real mechanics, not just the idea of confidence. I also share a secret that might surprise you, confidence coaches have confidence wobbles too, why client testimonials are one of the best forms of evidence you can gather, and the Jim Rohn quote I come back to again and again about who you surround yourself with. In this episode: Why confidence is a muscle you build, not something you're born withWhy testimonials are one of my favourite tools for building proof in yourselfWhat expanding your comfort zone actually looks like in practiceWhy the people around you might matter more than any skill you think you're missingIf you want to work on this properly with me directly, that's exactly what we do inside my 1:1 programme, Reclaim Your Voice, link's in the show notes.

    Why Your Story Should Come Before Your Credentials

    Storytelling is the most important part of any speaking experience, it's what makes people buy into you and see themselves in what you're saying. In this episode I break down the simple four-beat structure I teach for building your own story: the before, the relatable struggle, the pivotal moment, and the after, using my own story as the example, then a client's too, so you see the structure applied twice. I also cover the real reason story should come before credentials, why keeping the messy, human bits in is what actually makes your story work, and the exact questions to ask yourself to find your own four beats. In this episode: The four-beat story structure: before, struggle, pivotal moment, afterMy own story, and a client's, both used as real examples of the structure in actionWhy story has to come before credentials, not just for connection, but for how trust actually gets builtWhy watering your story down costs you the thing that makes it workThe exact questions to find your own before, struggle, pivotal moment, and afterIf you want help building your own before, struggle, pivotal moment, and after, that's exactly what we walk through inside the Voice Collective, link's in the show notes.

    The 4 Things I Do in the 90 Seconds Before I Speak

    What do you actually do with your body in the 90 seconds before you speak, whether that's walking on stage, going live, or hitting record on a podcast? In this episode I walk through the exact four-step sequence I use every time: breath, gaze, hands, and feet, in that order, and why each one sends your nervous system a specific signal that you're safe. I also cover why this sequence only works if you've rehearsed it in small, low-stakes moments first, and why confidence and talk structure have to be built together, since a calm nervous system doesn't fix a talk that rambles, and a brilliant structure won't hold up if you can't deliver it steadily. In this episode: The exact breath pattern that calms your nervous system fast (and why the exhale matters more than the inhale)Why "look above the audience's head" is a public speaking myth, and what to do insteadThe finger hold technique for calm, grounded handsWhy practising these tools when you're not nervous is what makes them work when you areWhy confidence alone won't fix a talk that lacks structure, and vice versaIf this episode helped, come find me on Instagram @iamsavannamadden and send me a message, or just DM me the word PODCAST and I'll know you came from here.
