Customer Reviews
Good stories
This podcast is the first podcast I’ve ever listened to. I really enjoy it. As a child, my dad read me bedtime stories from Childcraft encyclopedia. Now, I often wake up in the middle of the night with my days worries on my mind. This podcast has the same effect of my dad reading me a bedtime story. It takes my mind to the story and allows me to relax and fall asleep. The stories are interesting enough to wrap your mind around and allow you to stop thinking about real life. The readers voice is nice and even toned. This allows me to fall asleep.
Sleep is restored
I’m able to drift right off to sleep. Thank you so much for your podcast.
Thank you! A strong female voice, finally!
I'm not even through a single episode, I just had to stop and express my gratitude for a calm, strong female voice.
So many female artists who offer stories or meditations sound super nasally, way up in the throat, super-high-pitched, and cutesy, as if they're trying to sound like some cosmic cartoon fairy. If that's your jam, you're in luck, there's a lot out there.
I prefer to hear a grownup woman who at some point discovered the fine - and apparently highly mysterious - art of speaking from the diaphragm. I like to hear 'strong, competent, knows how to breathe' in a presenter's voice.
It isn't necessarily about pitch. Someone with a naturally higher-pitched vocal range who sits up straight and projects their voice properly will still sound strong, competent, and pleasant to the ear. I confess a preference for contralto speaking voices, as with this presenter, but it's more about technique.
There's a precise, measured way of speaking here, and I really appreciate it. In my book, this presenter earns the 'She could read me the phone book...' award.
