Do you think your voice sounds like power?

And you don’t, what would be possible if you did?

How do you feel about your voice? Do you like how it sounds? Do you worry it makes people take you less seriously? Do you cringe when you hear yourself on camera?

Enter Samara Bay.

Samara is a badass Hollywood dialect coach turned public-speaking revolutionary, and I’m lucky enough to call her a friend and partner in good mischief.

Samara’s on a mission to liberate us all from the bullshit that gets in the way of us using our voices and getting what we want. She’s here to help us unpack why we think some voices sound ‘better’ than others and how to untangle those limiting beliefs that make us think that power can’t sound the way we sound.

And she’s written a book - which is out TODAY - to liberate us, giving us the tools and practices we need to show up fully and use our voices for good.

In Permission to Speak, Samara shows us how to look at public speaking through a social justice lens and prods us to think big and ask powerful questions like: What if public speaking felt like love?

This book is going to kickstart a revolution in how we think about and use our voices - and how we listen to others.

You will like yourself better, stand a little taller, feel a little braver and get a loving kick in the butt to use your voice for good.

You can get the book here and literally everywhere books are sold. And the audiobook is PHENOMENAL, Samara’s read it herself (of course) and brings her advice to life.
