How do you develop a great sounding voice? What does it mean to treat your voice as an instrument?

In this episode, I interview Caroline Goyder, a fantastic voice coach, who has trained executives and companies all around the world on the instrument of your voice and how to use it to speak with confidence and authority.

She is the author of several books, including her new one 'Find your voice'.

We really cover a lot during this episode including:

  • why the sound of your voice is so important for your confidence
  • how to develop its sound
  • the definition of gravitas broken down into its fundamental elements
  • why we often don't like the sound of our own voice (the mechanics behind why)
  • how to find your diaphragm and use it
  • some exercises we can all do every day to improve the way we sound


The more the world heads towards a virtual connection, the more important our voices will be so great to have Caroline on to discuss this underestimated topic.
