Voice for Impact Podcast

Did you know that up to 93% of your influence comes from HOW you speak, not WHAT you say? (Especially when what we say doesn’t match how we say it) This means you could be the most brilliant entrepreneur, but you’ll only ever be perceived at the level of your ability to speak confidently and clearly. And if you struggle to communicate your ideas to the world, your creations will remain only in your imagination, and your influence will fall short. Your voice is where it begins. This podcast is for visionary entrepreneurs, especially women of colour, who are ready to use their voice to be seen and heard, fulfil their greatest potential, and lead powerful movements. Hosted by Trang Nova— once a withdrawn introvert and now a globally-recognized speaking coach featured on TEDx and Medium, you’ll get weekly episodes of fun stories, real experiences and valuable learnings to use your voice for impact in your business and on stages. Your voice is your path to becoming recognised as a visible leader and creating your mark on this world. Are you ready?

If you are in the early stages of your podcast or Youtube journey, and you currently have a love/hate relationship with recording because of how long and frustrating each session takes, this episode is for you!
I had a client recently who started at 3 hours of recording, and after implementing 5 steps before and after her recordings, she successfully brought down her recording time to 50 minutes. If you would also like to learn these steps to record with more confidence and speed, then you know what to do. Enjoy :)

As founders, we are the face of our business.
And yet, when it’s time to show up on camera for an IG story, TikTok, podcast, or new launch…
Oh hell no. We avoid it like the plague.
Or we try, but don’t know where to start, so we hesitate or ramble.
We use ChatGPT to script our videos, even though we know we can detect AI scripting from 100 miles away…
It takes two hours, 57 takes, and three breakdowns only to end up with a video that still feels cringe.
It doesn’t feel right, and we don’t even end up posting it.This episode is for you if you are ready to show up and speak with ease, confidence, and power when speaking to the camera.Let's go!
Reserve your seat for UNMUTE YOURSELF

Different types of speaking that have different rehearsal requirements
Danger zone of memorisation 
Why there is such thing as TOO much rehearsal
Happy memorisation and shining on stage!
