Keep the personality. Keep the energy. Lose the automatic “on-air” setting.
Your radio voice isn’t a problem.

But when the direction is “talk to me like a friend,” can you step out of broadcast mode—or does your delivery still sound like you’re addressing everyone at once?

For a radio professional moving into conversational voiceover, I’m not interested in stripping away personality or energy. The goal is to give you a choice: keeping the skills you’ve built while developing access to something different.

My Voice Performance Diagnostic starts with identifying what’s happening in your delivery before deciding what coaching should address.

You know how to use your voice to command attention. But what happens when the direction is “less announcer, more conversational”?

You pull back the volume. Soften the delivery. Try to sound casual.
And somehow, you’re still announcing.

The question isn’t whether you have a great announcer voice. It’s whether you can choose when to use it—and when to let it go.

Not sure what’s getting in your way? That’s where my Voice Performance Diagnostic begins.

Yesterday, I asked whether your announcer voice might be getting in the way of a conversational read.
Today, a different question: Are you bringing your audiobook voice into scripts that need something else?

This isn’t about whether audiobook narration is conversational. It’s about whether you’re choosing a delivery for this script—or carrying one over from your last session.

You may be giving a short commercial the delivery of a longer story. Or carefully narrating a sentence that needs to feel like a spontaneous thought.

Try saying the idea to someone in your own words. Then return to the script without losing that reason for speaking.

Curious about what carries over in your reads? Let’s start with my Voice Performance Diagnostic.

VOICE ACTORS
ASK YOURSELF...

1) When you submit your audition, does casting hear distinctly different takes, or one safe performance repeated?
2) Do your voice and mindset default to effort when the script calls for ease?
3) Do you PERFORM connection instead of connecting authentically?
4) Does casting hear you trying instead of the truth?

Audition reads don't change when you try harder. They change when you can hear what you've been doing.

Don’t carry the same pattern into your next audition. If you know something is off in your audition reads—but can’t yet hear or name the pattern—book a 30-minute, $97 Voice Performance Diagnostic.

It's not a skill problem. It's a pattern your voice runs under pressure—and patterns repeat until you change them.
