Do you need to change yourself to change your voice? People sometimes start voice work and don't "feel authentic" — the voice teacher gets you to use your voice in what feels like an unnatural way.

We'll go deep into a research paper about whether you need to change your identity to change your voice.

I talk about:
Why voice is so intricately linked to our sense of identity
The common problem with voice teaching and coaching.
One really cool approach I love from sports science.
A surprising problem from learning to use your voice in a "healthy way"
The trouble with social media and culture.
