How many of us cringe at the idea of replaying our voice notes because the act will force us into voice confrontation? Psychologically, this phenomenon is the cognitive dissonance between how we think we sound, and how we really sound, which affects our confidence to express ourselves, to foster genuine connections and to impact our societies. In this talk, I will show how the voice is not just an interaction of physiological body parts but a mesmerising dance between anatomy, experience, and identity, creating not just any sound but your signature sound. By the end of this talk, you will be moved to love your signature sound and use it intentionally to co-create destiny.
