For some people, standing on a stage feels like a nightmare. For others, it’s speaking up in a meeting or hearing their own voice played back that triggers discomfort. In this episode of the Less Chatter, More Matter podcast, we're joined by Sally Prosser, voice and public speaking coach, former broadcast journalist and author of Voiceprint to chat all things public speaking.

We explore the myths around public speaking, including the idea that it’s something separate from everyday communication. Sally explains how tone, breath and resonance influence credibility and trust, and why a well-delivered message can have more impact than perfectly chosen words. We also discuss the inner narratives people carry about their voice, the concept of “voice confrontation” when hearing yourself recorded, and how to prepare for spontaneous speaking moments without sounding scripted.

At the heart of the conversation is the idea of your voice print, a.k.a, the invisible mark you leave on others through the way you speak. This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t delivered overnight but it's something you can work on consistently to improve your speaking.
