How to Keep Fear From Overpowering Your Voice with Kat Stewart and Kevin Ribble - EP 102

What are you afraid of when you're recording your podcast? Training your voice doesn't start with what comes out of your mouth—it starts with what's going on in your head. Mary learned this 25 years ago from her radio school instructors, Kat Stewart and Kevin Ribble. In this episode, her former teachers take the mic to talk about finding your charisma and confidence as a podcaster and the vocal impact of fear and judgment.

Kat and Kevin want to make the world a better place, one confident, impactful podcast host at a time. Their insights stem from decades of experience and will have you reflecting on your podcast's ability to inspire change.

It's time to go back to school and learn:

• Why dealing with your fear of death is an essential foundation of voice work;
• The impact of tension and the nervous system on how you sound;
• Why you should channel your bestie when you're recording;
• The power of podcasting to make a difference in the world.
