Samara chats with the Tony Award-winning performer and TED talk star known for chameleoning into characters, about how each of us invents and reinvents our voice—to stand out, to fit in, to stay safe, to take risks. She shares the secret to public speaking, how to overcome perfectionism (which is “a form of self-abuse and abuse of the art”), and brings with her about a dozen extra pod guests to drop their own mind-blowing wisdom.

Permission to Speak is a fun and fiery romp through how we talk and what our voice says about us with Samara Bay, speech coach to the stars and public speaking adviser back when there was a public to speak in. Each week she interviews people who specialize in how we use our voice and people in the public eye who are USING it—what it took to find their voice, when it still wavers, the crap comments they’ve gotten for being too loud or too soft or too millennial or too anything because PEOPLE HAVE OPINIONS, and how to give ourselves permission to speak like we belong in rooms of power just as we are. Let’s destabilize the patriarchy together! Let’s talk about deep AF societal dysfunction and how it plays out on our bodies and voices, but, like, have fun doing it! Hi. This is for you.

Permission to Speak
