Podcasting

As you know, I’m starting a podcast pretty soon.

I’ve been on a few podcasts. One thing I tend to notice is that people change their voice and excitement when doing podcasts. Other podcasters have even told me I need to work on a better podcasting voice.

I don’t know if I can do that.

I’m me. My voice is mine. I don’t want to be someone I’m not.

I feel like I would have severe imposter syndrome if I acted in a way I never normally act.

I’m wondering how you all feel about it.

We see this a lot on the local news, too. The newscasters’ voices almost sound emotionless and robotic. If you talk to these people outside of their work, they all have different voices and say things with more emotions.

Why hide your voice? Why not just be you?
