“The voice is the muscle of the soul.” — Alfred Wolfsohn
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE BELOW
One of the first and most influential things you notice about someone is their voice and how they use it to express themselves: their accent, mannerisms, gestures, phrases, cadence, and tone.
Our subconscious makes assumptions about these various pieces of information in seconds and whether we like it or not these assumptions tend to stick with us.
You might be asking yourself, “Okay, but WHAT in the world does this have to do with branding, Tiffany?”
Kind of everything, actually.
If you’re on a mission to create an authentic Legacy Brand that connects deeply and meaningfully with your audience, then you need a fantastic, reliable, totally unique – to – you brand voice!
Now I’m sure you’re thinking, “But, can’t I just speak in my business the way I speak in real life?”
Of course you can. All I want to do is help you further define your Brand Voice, which is all about finding that sweet spot between how you speak in your everyday life, and how you want to show up for your clients and audience.
Developing a brand voice will never take away from your originality! In fact, it will only enhance it.
And the truth is, you have a brand voice whether you’re using it or not. So, why don’t you start refining and using it so that you can truly stand out among the crowd?
Top thought leaders and even the entertainers you admire have honed their own brand voice — and whether you are aware of it or not, that’s the main reason why we love them. They’ve done the work to look inward to draw out their brand voice and use it consistently!
