How to Find Your Voice, With Vocal Coach Denise Woods (RECAST)

The Upgrade by Lifehacker

This week we're fine-tuning our instruments with help from Hollywood vocal coach, Denise Woods. Denise has been a professional vocal and dialect coach for over 20 years and has worked with stars like Will Smith, Halle Berry, Rachel Weisz, Jessica Chastain, and Mahershala Ali. Listen to hear Denise gives tips on how to nix the bad habits of the “ums,” “ahs,” and “likes,” figure out your unique voice print, and learn to harness the power of your breath when speaking.

Denise's new book is called The Power of Voice: A Guide to Making Yourself Heard.
