The phrase “authentic voice” is very overused. But when it comes to the voice listeners want to hear on your podcast, your “authentic voice” is absolutely the right terminology.

But a quick caveat and a recognition that not everyone's authentic voice is a match for their authentic self. If the voice that comes out of your face does not match the voice of the person you are in your head, then please understand that I am in no way suggesting you get over it and deal with what you were given.

But if that’s not you and you’re instead just minorly annoyed with certain aspects of your voice, I have some very good news: perfect voices are not required in podcasting

If your accent is a part of your authentic self, then I assure you people will be perfectly happy to listen to you on your podcast sounding the way you sound. And for those who are turned off by your particular accent… well, they probably aren’t the right listener for your show anyhow.

Your speech pattern is yours. The aforementioned caveats aside; don’t try to hide it. When it comes to catchphrases or odd mannerisms that are uniquely you, I say leave ‘em in.

There is no ideal rate-of-speech delivery in podcasting. And every podcast listener has speed controls at their fingertips. So speak the rate at which you speak. Let the listeners decide if they want your words faster or slower.

Keep The You, Reject The Noise

While I am encouraging you to keep and embrace the natural “flaws” in your voice that make you uniquely you, I am exceedingly intolerant of fixable flaws in your recording environment.

Those hardwood floors that cause all sorts of unwanted sound reflections to come back into the microphone and annoy my ears? Your idea of placing an omnidirectional microphone in the middle of a big room and having all your buddies shout towards it? The noise from your overworked refrigerator, the roar from the heating/cooling system you’ve decided to sit directly under, or the whirring of air purifiers you could turn off for the 30 minutes you’re recording your VO parts…

Those noises are not the authenticity listeners want. They’re getting in the way of your authentic voice. If you’re serious about your podcast, I recommend investing in iZotope RX, either as a plugin or a standalone app. And then you need to learn how to use it, either by educating yourself or taking a class offered by Marcus dePaula. He’s a wizard who will blow your mind with the garbage you can remove from your tracks with just a few clicks.

Your listeners will appreciate you for getting rid of all of those fixable bits so they can really enjoy your true and authentic voice.

Mentioned in this episode:

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th. Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com. If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources: 1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion. 2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions. 3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics. 4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet. 5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more. We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
