The Vocal Distortion You Cannot Hear

There’s something slightly uncomfortable about what we’re going to look at today. Because once you notice it, you won’t be able to un-hear it. And more importantly, you may start to recognise it in yourself. In the last episode, we talked about the pressure gap. The difference between who you are at your best and how you come across when the stakes rise. Today, we’re going one level deeper. We’re going to look at how that gap shows up in your voice. Not in obvious ways. In small ways. Subtle ways. The kind of shifts that you don’t notice when you’re speaking. But other people register almost immediately.
