Tracy’s unique approach, Psychology of the Voice gets to the core of limiting voice habits and transforms voices from the inside out. People all over the world seek her out for her expertise to free voice barriers and get them to the next level in their business and life.

⁠

Your Voice is Part of Who You Are

Tracy wants us all to realize that our voices are central to our identities.  Tracy explains that the voice is “the orchestra of the heart”. That’s why it pains her when people try to change their voice to sound like someone they’re not.

To help people realize the strength in their voice, Tracy urges us to stop being critical of the way we speak. Chances are, your own perception of your voice is different from how other people see it.

 

Removing the Masks We Build With Our Voices

Tracy doesn’t want us to change our voice. Rather, she wants us to maximize its potential. Often, we’re held back because of what we think other people want us to sound like. To realize their voice, Tracy helps people find the confidence and freedom to show up as their authentic selves. 

For this to happen, we need to identify how we often subconsciously mask our true selves with our voices. Tracy likens this to wearing masks. These masks can be used to sound like someone we’re not. 

People, consciously or not, can see through these masks. Tracy shares how she helps people drop these masks. When your actual personality shines through, other people will be more eager to connect with you and hear what you’re saying. They just need to hear your true voice.

QUOTES

“The data that I’m looking at right now is saying ‘no, I don’t want slick polished voices. I need to know who you are.’ That includes your accent.” [12:10]

“Voice is our identity. Literally, within the first thirty seconds, I hear your voice, I am subconsciously determining who you are. There is so much vulnerability around voice that people get hung up on it.” [14:00]

“I don’t believe in bad voices. There’s voices and then there’s voices we can maximize. Are you revealing the best version of you?” [15:33]

“It’s because we’re rewriting habits. That’s all this work really is. What are the habits that you’ve put in place that aren’t working for you? We have to create some new habits.” [43:42]

“The voice is always your greatest asset, but right now it is really time to show up and play vocally because people are looking for you.”  [48:57]
