Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes 🌴331. Voice Print
Today I’m pulling out two standout passages from my friend Sally Prosser’s new book, Voice Print.
Sal and I go way back to a mastermind in 2020 when she was toying with TikTok. Within a year she’d exploded to 300k followers because she’s sharp, specific and actually helpful. We’ve collaborated on workshops, client gigs and public sessions, and she’s the person I trust when it comes to helping people actually use their voice, not just think about it.
This episode is really about that. You can have the smartest ideas in the room, but the world judges you on how you communicate. My whole 365 project has been a self-imposed bootcamp to figure out what my voice sounds like when I show up every day. Less than 40 days to go. Wild.
I read two excerpts: one on finding your voice and one on breathing. They hit because they expose the real pattern I see constantly. People say the thing after the moment, not in it. Regret, remorse, hindsight bravery. Sal’s book addresses that gap and shows you how to speak the truth when it counts. And on the breathing side, she’s dead right. If your breath is shallow, your voice is shaky. If you ground yourself, the whole tone shifts. It’s the difference between sounding tentative and sounding like you know why you’re here.
If communication is part of your work (and if you’re human, it is), you’ll want to grab Voiceprint. Check the link in the show notes.
