You didn’t lose your natural voice because of who you are. You lost it around age two or three, and everything since has just been habit.
In this clip, Vinh Giang and Jay Shetty break down why being shy isn’t a personality trait, it’s a set of behaviors you’ve been rehearsing for the last 20, 30, 40 years.
Vinh shares the record-and-review process that most people refuse to do, the student who discovered a single verbal habit had cost him six years of career progress, and why the people around you interrupt you for a reason that has nothing to do with your ideas.
Learn about the five vocal foundations that decide how others treat you, what a piano teacher told Vinh about introverts that made him rethink the whole question, and why the most important note in an orchestra is the silence after the crescendo.
