I Started Something New but I've Been Doing it For 25 Years.
For years, my work has lived in rooms. Rehearsal rooms, coaching sessions, conference stages, the space between two people right before a hard conversation. My work hasn't changed. But I need to offer my expertise as an Authentic Voice Coach to the World, not just spaces here in Germany.
So I started a newsletter. It's called Out Loud with Linnea George, and it's for anyone who has something to say and isn't saying it.
Not because you're shy. Not because you're an introvert, whatever that word even means anymore. Because somewhere along the way, a part of you learned to go quiet, and that part is tired of being quiet.
I call this a voice wound. It shows up in a private conversation you keep rehearsing but never have. It shows up right before you're supposed to speak in front of people, when your body knows something your prepared notes don't. It shows up on camera, in the half second before you hit record, when the person looking back at you doesn't quite feel like you.
Out Loud follows that wound through three places where it tends to live.
Say It Out Loud is about the conversations you haven't had yet. The boundary you haven't set. The truth you've been carrying around instead of speaking.
Own It Out Loud is about the room. Public speaking, presence, the particular kind of preparation that lets you walk in steady instead of just hoping you'll be fine.
Show It Out Loud is about the camera, which is its own kind of room now, and asks something different of you than a stage does.
Every week I write about one of these, with an exercise or a tool attached, drawn from twenty five years of working with actors, executives, healthcare workers, and yes, a fair number of politicians, across five countries. I'm not interested in performance tips that make you sound like someone else. I'm interested in the version of you that's already worth listening to, and what it takes to let that version out.
It's free to start. If you want to go further, there's a paid layer with more depth, and a small founding circle where I work with people directly.
Subscribe how for free and you automatically recieve The Daily Vocal Warm-Up. An audio practice you can do anywhere anytime no matter what your voice sounds or feels like.
If you've been sitting on something you haven't said, this is where I'd like to say it with you.
