English with Kirsty – episode 256
Inês Moura on voice coaching and her decision to change the language of her podcast
You can listen to episode 256 here:
I decided to contact Inês because I’d been listening to her podcast, Your voice matters, for a while. I was even more excited to discover that the first episodes were in Portuguese, because it means I have some more interesting content to listen to that will help me improve my Portuguese and learn about other voice-related topics!
But originally, our interview wasn’t going to be about that. I wanted to talk about voice coaching. We covered topics such as getting used to hearing your own voice and practising how you want to sound before you actually speak in public. Also, how we can use our voice to communicate our personality, even if we’re feeling nervous about the language.We can adopt vocal habits in another language that aren’t ours and it’s liberating when we learn to move past this.
But we also discuss why Inês decided to start a podcast, why she switched the language after the first two seasons, how she did it, what the process was like for her, and what advice she would give to people who are thinking about creating content in another language.
I also love one of the things that Inês said at the beginning when we were talking about her career journey. Deciding to work with a coach or trainer doesn’t have to be because you have a problem. It can also be because you want to do something better!
