Today we have Sylvie, an Executive Voice, Accent & Communications Coach who helps people become more vocally confident and develop how they use their speaking voices in conversations, business presentations and public speaking. She provides this through her company, SLVC Voice Training in London.  Sylvie provides some easy and practical tips to improve how you sound in stressful situations, her journey into this somewhat unusual career and what she really enjoys about it, including how acting classes helped her to find her voice. We also talk about who would be best suited to being a voice coach, why it's a long term game, Canada vs the UK (as Sylvie is originally from Vancouver) and whether introverts can do well in the workplace.  -----Things Sylvie mentioned she enjoys: Teas- Fortnum & Mason, Bayswater Tea Co. and of course Yorkshire for a proper brew! Books- You say potato by Ben and David Crystall (About the history of English Accents) and The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets Feel free to reach out to Sylvie to learn more about the services she provides here: -LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sylvie-lui -Instagram: https://instagram.com/slvcvoicecoach?utm_medium=copy_link -Linktree: https://linktr.ee/slvcvoicetrainingldn -Facebook group– SLVC ONLINE COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/slvconlinecommunity_____ Please do consider buying me a coffee via the following link so that I can invest in audio equipment to bring you episodes with much better audio quality! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Whatdoyoureally If you have any feedback or would like to guest on the show - do get in touch at - Instagram: @whatdoyoureallydopodcast Email: [email protected]
