Podcasting has emerged as a powerful medium for storytelling, sharing knowledge, and building communities. It’s estimated that there are between 3 and 4 million podcasts with approximately 80 million people in the US alone tuning in weekly. It’s truly amazing how quickly this medium has evolved from a niche hobby to a mainstream media powerhouse. But here’s the catch in this vast world of podcasts: how do you make sure your voice doesn’t just blend in, but actually makes a lasting impression?
The answer lies not just in what you say, but in how you say it. While compelling content is essential, the true art of podcasting also hinges on the quality of your voice and the effectiveness of your presentation. Ask yourself: Do people want to listen to your voice throughout your podcast and then come back for more, regardless of how compelling the content is? In the increasingly competitive world of podcasting, your voice isn’t just a tool—it’s your signature, your brand, and potentially, your key to success.
The variety of subjects covered in podcasts is great, as is the number of podcasts in each genre. I personally enjoy true crime podcasts and have my favorites, but I occasionally check out new ones. I have found other well-conceived and well-written podcasts, but sometimes the voice and delivery of the host can be a deal-breaker. It’s not just about choosing a unique topic; it’s about presenting it in a way that captivates and retains your audience. This is where the power of your voice comes into play. A distinctive, engaging, and clear voice can make your podcast memorable, encouraging listeners to return and share your content.
The Distinguished Voice will help you find that distinctive, engaging, clear voice – or more precisely, your authentic voice. Authenticity is paramount to keeping your audience engaged. After listening to several episodes of your podcast, I will put together a plan of progress based on your specific needs. We can begin with scheduled one-on-one sessions via Zoom and then connect as needed while you’re recording episodes. As you can see from the website, this is not a self-driven program. I offer personal coach you and will be with you as your podcast develops and your audience grows. Is your voice helping to tell your story or is it preventing it from being truly heard?
