So, tell me a bit about yourself: Chamber Showcase at NE Expo

One innocent wee question that makes your stomach drop. Not because you don’t know what you do, or even what you want to say, but because the minute you open your mouth your voice has a wobble. It goes too high, too fast, or fills up with more ums and ahs than a tourist staring up at the Eiffel Tower. What comes out doesn’t sound like you at all.

Add meetings, Zoom calls, pitches, panels - heck, even being introduced and asked to “just say a few words” - and suddenly your voice is everywhere. And somehow it still feels like hard work.

This session is about making that easier.

Understanding your voice - and learning to like it, or at least not dive into the nearest cupboard to avoid using it - is a secret business weapon. When your voice works with you instead of against you, you sound fecking brilliant, you’re easier to listen to, and people remember what you say.

Voice coach and speaking director Nic Redman shares practical, in-the-moment tips to help steady the nerves, properly connect with the person in front of you, and send them away with something they’ll actually remember.

You’ll leave sounding more like yourself, and feeling far less K*ll me now about using your voice when it matters.

Your voice is already part of your business. This session shows you how to use it properly.

Nic Redman is a voice coach and speaking director who helps people use their voice with more ease - so they sound brilliant and feel good doing it - for pitching, podcasting and presenting.

Her work centres on vocal ownership: helping people like how they sound, trust their voice, and use it in a way that supports their business rather than quietly sabotaging it.
