    About this audiobook

    Foreword by Academy Award-winner Mahershala Ali

    An internationally renowned and highly sought-after Hollywood voice coach shares proven practices to help anyone utilize the often-untapped power of their own authentic voice.

    From a toddler's first words to professional public speaking, from a marriage proposal to asking for a raise, our voice is our most crucial instrument of expression. The world judges us by our voice. And yet there has been no authoritative guide to mastering its full capacity and expressing our true selves in every aspect of life, from relationships and family to work. Until now.

    As one of the nation’s most sought-after vocal coaches, Denise Woods has worked with everyone from Mahershala Ali, Will Smith, and Idris Elba to Kirsten Dunst and Jessica Chastain. In The Power of Voice, for the first time ever, Woods shares the secrets, tips, lessons, and stories that have helped Hollywood’s biggest stars become confident, effective communicators.

    Readers will learn how to:

    • Articulate clearly
    • Gain confidence in any situation
    • Release tension and stress
    • Address speech issues such as upspeak, vocal fry, and nasality
    • Become powerful public speakers
    • Find their truest form of expression

    With her unmatched ability to teach vocal mastery in real-world terms, Woods offers a much-needed, proven, practical, and invaluable set of tools that will forever change how we communicate and, ultimately, how we see ourselves and affect others.

    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

      This book is PROFOUND!! A must-read for EVERYbody as it sets the record straight on a myriad of Voice misconceptions and misunderstandings. The author eloquently captures your attention and I couldn't stop listening/reading. Highly recommended.

      This book is a summary of authors achievement. Her unabridged CV one can say. It provides encouragement if you're down and discouraged about your voice. A few nuggets of wisdom here and there. Personally, the title didn't meet my expectations. It was a pleasant book to listen to though.

      Denise Wood's Vocal Power is truly inspiring and well written with relatable vignettes. It must be amazing to work with Ms Woods one-on-one.
