Episode notes

When we do a weban ar, we want people walking away feeling something. And so we're going to need those pauses exactly right. People are just so worried about losing their audience's attention but they're actually contributing to overloading. They're listeners with words that don't actually bring people to action because they felt something. But it can't become second nature if you don't do certain things. First of all, you should be recording yourselves more. How many ascending scales did i do? How many fillers did I do? Oh, we need to talk about phillers. You need to start courting yourself and then listening back for the things we're talking about. Do

Speak Strategically, Sell Confidently, Serve Authentically

Voice coach and speech trainer to the stars, Roger Love, joins me on this episode…

And that might have you wondering, “Amy, why on earth would you bring a voice coach on to teach entrepreneurs? This whole Nashville move is going straight to your head.”

Don’t worry, friends. The day I pick up a guitar and a microphone will be the day hell freezes over.

And while Roger has honed his expertise working with the likes of Reese Witherspoon, John Mayer, Bradley Cooper, and Selena Gomez…

He’s not running through scales today. Your long-forgotten arpeggios can stay that way.

Roger joins me on the podcast to teach you, my beautiful entrepreneurs, how to communicate more effectively on behalf of your business and command any room with your presentation skills.

In this episode, Roger masterfully explains how entrepreneurs (AKA YOU!) can powerfully and simply shift how you speak to sell more confidently, build trust with your audience, and present yourself in a way that screams, “Hello world, you’re going to want to pay attention to this!”

Imagine showing up to your next masterclass or podcast interview with the persuasion, charm, and influence of Bradley Cooper, himself.

Irresistible.

So go ahead and dive into my incredible masterclass-style interview with Roger Love. You’ll walk away from our conversation with:

Strategies and tips from the expert himself to feeling more confident (and true to your heart) when you’re selling
The reason why tone + emotion > words when it comes to getting your audience to trust you and pay attention to what you have to say (and how to use this to your strength)
Techniques for avoiding pesky filler words like, “Um” and “Uh” during a masterclass, Live video, or podcast

Here’s to the best and brightest version of yourself showing up in every Live you do, my friend!

Here’s a glance at this episode...

[10:13] Roger shares why it's important to be intentional with how you communicate. We need to be able to move people emotionally!
[14:14] We were born with an instrument that we either learned how to use or didn't. We can all tune up our instruments (our voice) and become great speakers.
[16:34] Want to become more confident? Start speaking in melody. When we speak we create melodies or the patterns that go up and down -- learn how to do this the right way.
[23:50] When we get nervous our breathing gets shallow and fast. Slow down your breathing before going live. Breath in through your nose and close your lips.
[30:24] It's wonderful to smile, but smiling makes the corners of your mouth go wide which makes your voice sound more nasal. Smile when you're not speaking. Smile with your eyes and your voice.
[39:23] Make your commas and periods have longer silence. You don't have to slow down the words, you can just increase the silence. Silence is where you give your audience a chance to feel.
[43:47] How to avoid all the pesky filler words like um or uh. These filler words are used to avoid silence, and we already know that silence is amazing.
[56:05] Action Steps: Book a Facebook Live this week. Speak live on camera and practice one thing you learned today. Practice can make the techniques second-hand.
