Key Points Authenticity is not just about "being authentic" - it is a multilayered and nuanced concept that involves aligning one's true feelings and emotions with one's vocal delivery. [10:20] Tracy Goodwin has the ability to identify the subtle layers and shades of emotion in a person's voice, and can help them become more aligned and authentic. [00:49] The "Spain scale of emotion" study is often misinterpreted, as it does not actually state that authenticity is the highest vibration of sound. [07:30] However, Tracy believes authenticity can be a higher vibration than love when one's vocal expression is truly aligned. [10:20] Inauthenticity and vocal "masks" often arise from psychological factors and societal pressures that prevent people from fully expressing their true feelings. [13:10] Revealing the full range of one's emotions and feelings through vocal expression is key to being truly authentic and impactful. [20:26] Notable Quotes "Authenticity, the most powerful vibration, the most powerful frequency of sound there is, but we can't just leave it as just be authentic. It's multi multilayered. It's nuanced beyond anything you could ever imagine and I can hear every tiny fragment of sound that tells me the truth of who you are." "True alignment is I am revealing to you exactly how I feel and I'm playing all the notes and all the shades of all the different feelings. [11:58] That's true alignment." [12:14] "There are so many shades of you and the feelings that you experience, and none of them are being played, none of them, and that is what I call missed prime real estate." [19:36] Kicker Quotes "This is why when people say to me, I'm going to make more money and then I'm going to come back and work with you, it frustrates me because this would make you more money. What do you want to establish in the marketplace, at the job, in the relationship as the truth of who you are because it's playing out everywhere?" [20:26] Detailed Insights Main Arguments: Tracy Goodwin argues that true authenticity goes beyond simply "being authentic" and involves aligning one's vocal expression with the full range of one's feelings and emotions. [00:01] She believes that this level of authenticity can be a higher vibration than even love. [10:20] Supporting Evidence: Tracy cites her own ability to identify the subtle layers of emotion in a person's voice, as well as her experience working with clients to help them become more aligned and authentic. [00:49] She also references the "Spain scale of emotion" study, though she notes that it does not actually state that authenticity is the highest vibration. [07:30] Themes and Trends Recurring Themes: The importance of authenticity, the nuances and layers of vocal expression, the psychological and societal factors that prevent people from being fully authentic. [03:36] Emerging Trends: The growing interest in and discussion around the concept of authenticity as the "highest vibration" of sound, though Tracy cautions that this is often misunderstood. [10:20] Interview Dynamics Interview Flow: This is not an interview, but rather a monologue from Tracy Goodwin. She maintains a focused and passionate delivery throughout, with occasional references to her notes. [15:12] Question Analysis: Not applicable, as this is not an interview. Context and Background Contextual Information: Tracy Goodwin is a voice expert and the host of the "Captivate the Room" podcast. [00:49] She has extensive experience in helping people become more authentic and impactful in their vocal expression. [00:15] Related Events: Tracy mentions an upcoming free training by her former client and mentor, James Wedmore, as well as her own upcoming free masterclass on "speaking so they stay." Potential Impact: Tracy's insights on the nuances of authenticity and vocal expression could have a significant impact on her audience, helping them to become more aligned and impactful in their communication. [00:49] Follow-Up Questions Can you provide more details on the "Spain scale of emotion" study that Tracy references, and how it relates to the concept of authenticity as the "highest vibration"? [07:30] What specific techniques or exercises does Tracy use to help her clients uncover and express the full range of their emotions and feelings through their vocal delivery? [00:42] How does Tracy's approach to authenticity and vocal expression differ from or build upon other frameworks or methodologies in this area? [00:42] Can you share any specific case studies or examples of how Tracy's work has helped her clients achieve greater authenticity and impact in their communication? [00:49] What are some of the key psychological and societal factors that Tracy has identified as barriers to authentic vocal expression, and how does she help her clients overcome these challenges? [00:42]

• Practice vs. Reps

  Welcome to the show! Make sure you don't miss my next free Masterclass Speak so they stay! You can register here:  https://www.captivatetheroom.com/stay/ General Overview Conversation Summary: The speaker discusses the difference between "reps" and "practice" when it comes to improving one's speaking and presentation skills. [22:27] She argues that practice, where one repeatedly rehearses and drills content, can actually be detrimental and lead to being disconnected from the material. [25:49] Instead, she advocates for a "reps" approach, where one integrates the desired speaking techniques and tactics into their daily routine and conversations. [23:38] This allows the skills to become more naturally integrated and accessible. Interviewee Background: The speaker is Tracy Goodwin, an internationally known voice expert and award-winning speaker who has taught hundreds of people around the world to improve their speaking and presentation skills. [29:25] Key Points The speaker is not a fan of traditional "practice" where one repeatedly rehearses content, as this can lead to being disconnected from the material and put the speaker in "retrieval mode" when delivering. [22:27] Instead, she advocates for a "reps" approach, where one integrates the desired speaking techniques and tactics into their daily routine and conversations. [23:38] Reps help the skills become more naturally integrated and accessible, rather than feeling like a separate "practice" activity. [23:37] The speaker believes that warming up before a big presentation is also not necessary if one has properly integrated the desired speaking skills through reps. [10:01] She suggests that each person has an optimal number of "practice" reps, often around 2-4, beyond which additional practice can be counterproductive. [14:57] Notable Quotes "I believe warm ups the same when these big names have walked up to me wanting to know about working with me, wanting to know information. [08:57] It doesn't even have to be big names. It could be anybody. Anybody blindside me? What comes out of warming up? [10:35] Why would I not want that in my muscle memory all the time?" (13:15) "I want you to stop telling yourself you have to practice. [26:29] I believe warm ups the same when these big names have walked up to me wanting to know about working with me, wanting to know information. [08:57] It doesn't even have to be big names. It could be anybody. Anybody blindside me? What comes out of warming up? [10:35] Why would I not want that in my muscle memory all the time?" (13:15) Kicker Quotes "I want my people to speak from the internal and be observers of the external." (28:44) Detailed Insights Main Arguments: Practice can lock in bad speaking habits and put the speaker in "retrieval mode" when delivering (13:15) Reps, where one integrates techniques into daily conversations, is a better approach than traditional practice (23:37) [23:37] Warming up before a big presentation is not necessary if one has properly integrated the desired speaking skills through reps (13:15) [10:01] Supporting Evidence: The speaker's own experience with her TED talk, where she exceeded her optimal "practice number" of 2-3 reps (14:12) [14:57] A case study of a student who only practiced her talk 2-3 times and delivered an outstanding performance (19:50) [14:57] Themes and Trends Recurring Themes: The importance of integrating speaking techniques into one's daily life through "reps" rather than isolated practice (throughout) The limitations of traditional practice and warming up approaches (13:15, 14:12) [10:39] Emerging Trends: The concept of an optimal "practice number" unique to each individual, often around 2-4 reps (19:50) [14:57] The idea of speaking from an "internal" place rather than relying on external cues (28:44) Interview Dynamics Interview Flow: The speaker starts by introducing the topic of "reps vs. [23:37] practice" and then goes into a detailed explanation of her perspective, using examples and personal anecdotes to illustrate her points. The flow is clear and logical, with the speaker building her case methodically. Question Analysis: The speaker appears to be responding to a previous question or request from a client to discuss the difference between reps and practice. [23:37] She does an effective job of thoroughly addressing the topic and providing a clear framework for understanding her approach. Context and Background Contextual Information: The speaker is a voice expert and presentation coach who has worked with many clients to improve their speaking and presentation skills. She is drawing on her extensive experience and research in this area. Related Events: The speaker references her TED talk experience as an example of when she did engage in more traditional "practice", but notes that this was an exception due to the specific requirements of that event. [14:55] Potential Impact: If listeners adopt the speaker's "reps" approach, it could help them become more naturally comfortable and confident in their speaking, without the potential pitfalls of over-rehearsing. [23:37] This could lead to more authentic and impactful presentations and conversations. Follow-Up Questions: Can you provide more specific examples of how one can integrate "reps" into their daily routine and conversations? [23:38] How does one determine their optimal "practice number" for a given presentation or speaking scenario? [15:14] What are the key internal shifts or mindset changes that you believe are necessary to truly speak from an "internal" place rather than relying on external cues? [08:43] How can one overcome the tendency to want to over-rehearse and practice, especially for important speaking engagements?
