Alicyn's Wonderland

Do you realize how life-changing and powerful your voice can be?

Join us in this two-part Alicyn's Wonderland series with speech and dialect coach Samara Bay, the author of the seminal new book, Permission To Speak, to find out!

In this first installment, Samara sits down to talk about the story of her voice, which coincidentally also serves as the book's origin story! Samara shares that she lost her voice in her 20s, an experience that gave her valuable insights that she shares to her readers and students. In addition to this, Samara also talks about an observation she made back as a student about how the pitch of your voice can affect how you present and how others respond to you.

Some other key points that Alicyn and Samara cover in this episode includes how trying to shave off your vocal quirk can be a disadvantage in voice acting. Make sure to listen to the end, because Samara reveals what makes people fall in love with somebody's voice and way of speaking, whether on-camera or IRL!
