Ever feel like something’s holding you back when you speak? In this episode, I sit down with hypnotherapist and former voice coach Katie Crooks to talk about all the things that affect our voice—tension, old habits, even how we think about speaking. We dive into breath, belief, and why feeling safe matters way more than perfect pronunciation. It’s a deep, fun, and super real chat about finding your voice—literally.

Most people watch videos on pronunciation and accent, but they make the mistake of not getting feedback, and as a result, they don’t even know which mistakes they’re still making! Instead, you should start getting FREE feedback by attending my LIVE American Accent Masterclass so that you can correct your pronunciation errors. I reveal a new accent secret every month and give you LIVE feedback so that you can finally take control of how you sound!
