We are different!
The voice is an instrument that we carry inside ourselves. When we are nervous, it affects our voice. So, to change the voice, we MUST change our minds. We must motivate and encourage ourselves. We must be on our own side.
Many voice coaches rely solely on techniques for the voice only. But voice training is deeper than that. We must tackle any psychological blocks that are stifling our true potential.
In order to get the best from our voices, we must know our instrument inside out. You wouldn't play a piano only knowing half the chords. In order to know our voices, we must know ourselves. I use life coaching and NLP exercises to figure out what makes you tick. If we know that, we can literally transform the way in which we sound and the way we communicate with others.
NLP
NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. Neuro – meaning the brain, Linguistic – meaning the language we use every day and Programming – meaning that we have the ability to change how we feel about certain situations, things and people using particular language patterns. So basically, we wire our brains differently in order to make them work for us, not against us. This philosophical and educational tool was co-created by Dr Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970’s. Since then, NLP has helped many people become more confident and use their brains in a more useful way.
People learn by doing. They also learn by having fun. This is what Voice Coaching Ireland is all about. Rather than go against your personality and preferences, we will use them as a springboard to catapult you to success.
