About this episode
2022.08.09– 0586 – 10,000 Kicks To A Better Voice
Continual Practice

Bruce Lee
You have to be continually ready for your next live or recorded voice session, much like an athlete must always be ‘match fit’. If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. Practice won’t make you perfect (what is ‘perfection’?), but it will make you better.
Only amateurs believe that rehearsal inhibits spontaneity. Professionals respect their audience and
rehearse their script and links off-mic so that their performance on-mic will be brief, bright, smooth, natural, and personable.
But as ‘practice makes permanent’, make sure you do it right once you have read and understood the tips here, and maybe got some professional one-to-one advice as well to get skill-acquisition and skill-retention, one at a time. Practice is not just repetition, because doing that may reinforce a bad pattern. It’s like once you have got to your desired weight, or got your 6-pack, you don’t stop … you continue training…
So, let’s start with what amounts to free training!
