1. Wait, I can sound wimpy?

In today’s episode we are joined by Andrea Canny, award-winning actor, director and producer who specializes in one-to-one and master class vocal performance coaching. She was voted the vocalist of the decade by broadwayworld.com in 2020.

We will provide a multi-generational perspective on voice, how we sound and more importantly, what we say.

We discuss surprise situations when we’re caught off-guard in “surprise attacks” and provide strategies to avoid reacting in the moment which can lead to words stuck in your throat or tears of frustration.

We talk about practices to advocate for ourselves so we are able to lead.

Our takeaways included:

· The voices that are most powerful come from sincerity and honesty. We can embrace our own vulnerability and find strength in it.

· That walking away from a tense moment is a valued form of communication – voice doesn’t always have to be verbal.

· We express gratitude for the generations that have led the way.

· We remain optimistic given you can practice being in tough situations, particularly if you’re a recovering people-pleaser.
