Listen "Breathing & Voice Through the Lens of Speech Language Pathology with Kathryn Woods - Episode 24"
Episode Synopsis
Part of having interviews on your podcast, is meeting like-minded people and sharing their stories. Not only is it an intimate way to connect with your listeners, but also to your guests as well! One example is with Kathryn Woods, my guest today. I was introduced to Kathryn when someone we both know thought we'd have lots to talk about since we did very similar work through voice coaching. And boy, was she right! Kathryn is a Communication and Voice Coach with over 20 years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist. She is also a recovering shy person, and fuses those aspects of her background to teach speakers, business owners, and executives how to use their voice to connect with their listeners when they speak, so they can have more influence and make a bigger impact. Although we are both voice coaches and share the same love of amplifying people's voices, it was her background as a speech-language pathologist that perked my interest! Since I do not have a medical background, I brought Kathryn on today to share her medical perspective to voice work. We chatted about tips for your voice from an SLP perspective. How breath is the foundation of your voice. Plus, what hurdles she overcame as a recovering shy person.
