Working On My Voice

I spend a lot of time working on my voice. Oddly, that has very little to do with my actual voice. At least the voice you hear and it doesn't require me to drink Ginger Root Tea with honey or gargle salt water or whatever. Instead most of my voice work has to do with what is going on in me, between the ears.

The best way for me to be at my best for each opportunity I have been given, for each of my clients is by keeping myself in a good frame of mind.

How do I get in a good frame of mind?

I focus on the good. I have adopted an attitude of gratitude if you will, and I would suspect that your life is like mine and you don't just float from one triumph to the next but through the challenges I remember that they don't all last forever and that this moment will pass. It is in that phrase "This moment will pass" that I am jolted into remembering that my life is a finite one and that it is a gift given to me to make the very best of each moment.

I believe that life starts anew every moment. With every blink, wink and breath.

So how do I build my attitude of gratitude?

I express my gratitude towards the people around me in varying expressions. I express my gratitude to my wife, family, friends, my best bud and dog, Nedd. I am grateful to servers at restaurants, clerks, post office workers, authors, teachers, old guys standing in line in front of me at the store and of course to my clients and their clients.

When you start to adopt this mindset, you realize how many people you depend on to make your day a good day. they don't have to do it, but they do and they allowed me to reap the benefits of their efforts.

So work on being better at whatever you do by being grateful to everyone who helps you make it to that point each and every time.

I would be grateful for your consideration on your next voice project, it could be a message for your phone system, website, radio commercial, tv commercial, training seminar, webinar, animation, podcast, etc. Let your imagination go crazy!
