Text me your thoughts on this episode!As a woman, I've encountered contradicting feedback that my voice is both "too loud" and "too soft." I've felt the pressure to change, minimize, and silence my natural speaking voice because unconscious gender bias leads to more criticism, rather than amplification of women's voices. In this episode, my two guests -- Julie Fogh and Casey Erin Clark of Vital Voice Training -- celebrate a decade of helping leaders communicate with savvy, charisma, authenticity, and confidence by embracing, not changing, their voices. We revisit their journey from their first pitch to present at the Bullish Conference in Miami, in 2014 (where I also presented a negotiation workshop and met them for the first time), to their current mission of reshaping communication culture. Julie and Casey share their insights on how women's voices have evolved in the public sphere, countering critiques like vocal fry and upspeak, and how they've built a community grounded in the core values of service. You'll learn: How to use insights from acting training to uncover more authentic aspects of yourself for empowered self-expressionWhat genuinely builds the confidence to speak on a TEDx stage How to combat public speaking anxiety The surprising take on filler words like "ums" and "ahs" that will have you feeling relieved to speak as you doHow to approach the intersection of personal power and systemic/environmental factors, so you have greater agency over how you speak, especially if you're a woman and a person of marginalized identity How to have difficult conversations with an audience that lead to breakthroughs and what Julie and Casey offer to make it even easier Vital Voice Training is a voice, public speaking, and communication coaching company on a mission to change the conversation about what leaders are “supposed” to sound like, help organizations revolutionize their communication culture, and help individuals communicate with savvy, charisma, confidence, and a deep connection to their core values.

Their communication presence was not worthy of being taken seriously really pissed us off.” – Casey Erin Clark “We want to find out what can help individuals be able to walk into a room with the energy of their choosing, how to find the power that you already have, that you don't need anybody else's permission for.” – Julie Fogh “I have a real heart for recovering perfectionists who are finding their inner rebel and their inner, sometimes we call it the flaming inner middle finger to the status quo in the systems, but who have spent their whole life to be good little girls and do it correctly, and they're ready to break out of that box and show who they really are and show up in a huge way.” – Casey Erin Clark Vital Voice Training Website: http://vitalvoicetraining.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/vital_voice, @vital_voice Instagram: http://instagram.com/vitalvoicetraining, @vitalvoicetraining Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vital-voice-training Casey Erin Clark Twitter: @caseyerinclark http://twitter.com/caseyerinclark Instagram: @caseyerinclark http://instagram.com/caseyerinclark LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/caseyerinclark Julie Fogh Twitter: @julievoicecoach http://twitter.com/julievoicecoach Instagram: @thefogh http://instagram.com/thefogh LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-fogh/ Learn more about your ad choices.

TOP TAKEAWAYS: What could change if you asked yourself this question: “What would make this (mood/task/day/moment/action) feel 5% better?” Small goals for the win! One of the most fundamental things we've leaned into and accepted this year is the need for a team — for community care, instead of just self-care. Emotions are necessary for communication — they are the crucial information that takes our experience of the world from a line drawing to full Technicolor. And we won't be debating that emotions are crucial and not something to be “eliminated” at work anymore. Casey Erin Clark is a voice, public speaking, and communication coach, performer, author, entrepreneur, podcast host, and leader in both the entertainment and business worlds. She is a fierce advocate for gender justice and spends her days speaking, teaching, and writing about the power of women's voices, while seizing fulfilling opportunities to perform on screen and stage. In 2014, Casey and Julie Fogh co-founded Vital Voice Training, a voice and speech coaching company on a mission to change the conversation about what leaders are “supposed” to sound like and empower everyone to own the power of their full vocal instrument and presence. Casey hails from the cornfields of southern Illinois (where she grew up singing with her family Von Trapp-style) and has a BFA in musical theater from Illinois Wesleyan University. She also coaches musical theater pros of all ages, is a member of SAG-AFTRA and AEA, performed at the 2013 Oscars with the Les Miserables movie cast, and sings with the Grammy-nominated and Tony-honored Broadway Inspirational Voices choir. Recommending books and breakfast restaurants is her love language. Will perform the Lafayette speed rap from Hamilton on demand. Julie Fogh is a voice coach and interpersonal communications specialist who works with actors and business leaders helping them navigate their individual tensions and blocks, revealing the personal power and unique and captivating humanity that exists in all of us. Through Vital Voice Training, Julie and her co-founder Casey Erin Clark blend the toolbox of the professional actor with their powerful frameworks for embracing one's authentic speaking voice to businesses, schools, and organizations all over the country. Julie was raised in Seattle and earned her BA in Theatre and Women Studies from University of Washington. She earned an MFA in acting from Northern Illinois University, a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum that engaged with the physical body, the emotional life, imagination, use of language, character construction, non-verbal communication and the truth of the moment. She has studied with the Moscow Art Theatre and University of Copenhagen and has studied Meisner Technique with Kathryn Gately, Michael Chekhov Technique with Deborah Robertson, and Movement and Period Style with Lloyd Williamson. She loves YA novels and her cranky rescue cat, Ashland.

Close your eyes for a second and imagine what authority sounds like to you. Did it sound anything like your own voice? Casey Erin Clark is a professional actress who, after 18 months on tour with Les Miserables, read the book Half the Sky and got very fired up about issues facing women in the world today. She co-founded Vital Voice Training where she lives out her bio "Loud girl learns to amplify others." Casey's also one of my favorite people to have meaningful conversations with. In this one, we talk about SO MANY topics, including: accessing your true voice (and not trying to change it to fit!), code switching, falling in love with your many focus areas and learning to live with the fact that your big childhood dream isn't your only dream anymore, working with partners who have different work styles (and brains), understanding that you deserve ease, pleasure and comfort – and that they hold no less value than perfection.

Julie chats with Casey Erin Clark (her co-founder) about her winding path from “small town girl trying to make it in Broadway” perfectionist to multi-hyphenate rebel. Along the way, they cover the profound joy of using your voice, embracing your edges, seeing possibility all around you, and finding your “I want” song. Thank you to our Season 3 sponsor, Armoire!

It took her years, a few serious bumps in the road, and one devastating election to finally clarify what was really important. (Hint: the answer was not “what other people think.”) Articulating what you want is powerful. An “I want” song in musical theater tells us about the character's desires and ambitions and needs…and spending your life and career exploring this kind of material is awfully helpful when you need to express your own wants. (Try finding your own “I want” song!) Every human being contains infinite possibility and potential—seeing more in ourselves and each other requires self-exploration, curiosity, a supportive community, and a willingness to see what's beyond the surface. Casey Erin Clark is a voice, public speaking, and communication coach, performer, author, entrepreneur, podcast host, and leader in both the entertainment and business worlds.

Recommending books and breakfast restaurants is her love language. Will perform the Lafayette speed rap from Hamilton on demand.
Casey chats with Julie Fogh (her Vital Voice Training co-founder) about lessons learned from studying acting all over the world, the gifts of introversion, and being a grown-ass woman. Along the way, they cover the superpowers of neurodivergence, and why sometimes, you just know you need to shake up the Etch-A-Sketch of your life. TOP TAKEAWAYS Growing up in the Pacific Northwest gave Julie her particular brand of slow-burn humor, her deep appreciation for the negative space of conversation, and a community-building style that takes awhile, but truly lasts. Learning how her ADHD brain worked has led Julie to embrace the traits that used to be frustrating, and unlock her own unique superpowers of observation and idea-connecting. Thinking about making (or going through) a big life change? It's ok to be “in the goo” for awhile — that's when your life is becoming a work of art. Thank you to our Season 3 sponsor, Armoire!

We’ve all had this experience - sitting in a room, listening to another person share their personal story and being emotionally moved. Words matter. They can create deep empathy, inspire action, or speak directly to a part of us that has been hidden but is begging to be acknowledged. And when each of us finds a way to tell those hidden stories, or say the hardest things, we give others the gift of knowing none of us is alone. The journey of finding and then actually using your voice though? That’s truly a Not Small Thing. Both of us have experienced this journey ourselves - testing the waters to build our comfort levels and confidence, confronting our fears about public speaking, to actually letting our guard down and sharing our stories to rooms full of strangers. And we found that it’s just as rewarding to share as it is to listen. It was actually profoundly liberating. You might be thinking to yourself that you’d love to speak out, whether at work, with your family, or to the world, but doubt you could ever have the guts. In this episode we talk about the fear of speaking up and sharing our difficult experiences, how other people’s perceptions of us is a “them” problem not an “us” problem and get some good advice on how to shift your thinking about what “good speaking” is or if it even exists.We’re joined by two superstar coaches, Casey Erin Clark and Julie Fogh, the co-founders of Vital Voice Training. They are on a mission to change how we talk to each other, how we really listen, and how we collaborate. They believe that claiming and using your voice can change the world, and we couldn’t agree more. We hope it inspires you to think about how your story might be exactly the thing we need to hear.
Today's guests are Casey Erin Clark and Julie Fogh, the Founders of Vital Voice Training, a voice and communication company that recognizes that your voice is a powerful tool for connection and expression.

When you think of a leader, what voice immediately comes to mind? A cisgender, white, male news anchor? A politician? Or a popular old- Hollywood actor? Culturally, these male symbols have been associated with leadership and authority. And that extends to their voices too. So what does this mean for those whose voice varies greatly from this definition of authority? In other words, what does it mean for women? Actress and singer Casey Erin Clark started Vital Voice Training to help change the conversation around what women are supposed to sound like to be taken seriously. In one of our most thought-provoking episodes yet, Casey takes us through voice types that women often get criticized for (like vocal fry or upspeak), how voice matters when telling your story, and makes a serious case for voice positivity! Here’s a peek at what else you can expect: Casey’s background as a theatre artist The importance of paying attention to your voice The concept of ‘superpowers and evil twins’ How definitions of authority need to expand What causes vocal fry and upspeak Speech and Maslow’s 4 stages of learning Where she sees her business in the next decade Her wonderful partnership with co-founder Julie Fogg RESOURCES The Food Psych Podcast - Christy Harrison Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness - Melissa Dahl In a World - Lake Bell Freedom Fries (The American Life podcast) - Ira Glass Some Days, It’s Harder (Vital Voice Training Blog) - Casey Erin Clarke The Age of Instagram Face - Jia Tolentino Understanding the 4 stages of learning (Maslow) The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia - Julia Sugarbaker The Broadway Inspirational Voices This Week’s Joy: Casey’s background is in musical theatre - she went on an 18-month tour for Les Miserables! So it makes complete sense that her joy is music and singing, be it belting in a Grammy-nominated and Tony-winning choir (the ‘Broadway Inspirational Voices’) or in a cabaret in her dad’s living room! This Week’s Hustle: Casey’s hustle is a powerful one - our wonderful community of female entrepreneurs. Moving from theatre to business, Casey was in awe of how welcoming her fellow female entrepreneurs were and how open they still are to sharing their knowledge.

When Casey Clark’s national tour of Les Misérables ended after nearly two years, and it was time to find a new job, Casey realized she tired of living the ups and downs that come with professional acting. As she shares in today’s show, professional actors often face long stretches of unemployment – filling in gaps with survival jobs and temping in various roles to pay the bills, sometimes for months, or even years. One fateful day, Casey went on an interview that she thought was about singing coaching, and ended up being asked to teach speaking voice instead. Casey quickly fell in love with voice coaching and the opportunity to help women amplify their own voices. This session eventually led her to co-found Vital Voice Training. Around the same time Casey started voice coaching, she read a book called Half the Sky, which left her feeling angry at the depth and enormity of problems facing women in our world. The combination of entering the voice coaching world, and wanting to help women, convinced Casey her mission was to help amplify the voices of women who were helping other women. In the 95th episode of I Want Her Job: The Podcast, Host and Podcast Co-Founder Polina Selyutin discusses with Casey how voice coaching works, tips for improving public speaking skills and much more.
