"You train your body to be strong, why wouldn't you train your voice the same way?" "You need to imagine yourself in a large room… you gotta talk to the person in the back of the room. That person has to hear you clearly." "Everybody needs a coach. And this is something that everyone trains in. You can train yourself to be more compelling, to know how to make eye contact with the camera, to be aware of what your face looks like, to think about really what your message is, and the mood and the moves and and bring your voice and your body to life in that way." "If you want to be a model, you have to retrain how you walk. If you want to use your voice optimally, you have to train how you speak." "If you're losing your voice a lot, if you're chronically hoarse, that's a vocal red flag." "I can actually serve my clients better when those relationships at home are really more rock solid." "To laugh often and much… to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — this is to succeed."
