In this episode, Shelley engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Deanna Cooney, a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in the acting and voice-over community. The discussion circles around the growing concern over the diminishing art of verbal communication among humans in the age of technology dominance, where texting and emailing has become more convenient than engaging in face-to-face conversations. Deanna, a specialised voice-over coach, emphasises the significance of bridging the gap between written and verbal communication skills.

In a world where AI can emulate written communication effectively, Deanna highlights the importance of maintaining consistency in verbal expression. She advocates for the value of lifting verbal communication skills to match the eloquence often achieved in written communication and the importance of writing the way you speak, so people feel and hear you, inside the communication.
