KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Many people I work with on their voice, including me, have some kind of trauma that held them back or kept them small & not free to express themselves. For me it was growing up in a house of oppressive silence. When I started to explore my voice, I was freer & able to move forward. I love helping people discover the true version of themselves.
• Take clips from Steve Carrell or Jim Carey films and mimic them to get yourself out of your comfort zone & play with your range. Before you’re going to do some public speaking go up and down your range to get out of your monotone. Record the first paragraph of your signature speech & play it back to yourself. Listen to if you’re monotone, & really be critical. If you can do that and listen from the point of view of your audience. It’ll feel weird, but try it.
• You sound better than you think. It takes practice, but you’re allowed to be as ‘big’ as you want. Be the character of a person that never had trauma, who was never told not to sing or quiet down. That’s the version of you you’re allowed to get to.
• Everybody is unique, it’s one of the things I love about the voice & the work that I do. I don’t know who the true version of that person is, once we find that & let it out into the world it’s so exciting. Find your weirdness and greatness and watch the world open up to you.

‘Music connects people & breaks down boundaries.’

ABOUT THE HOST

Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.

Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.

Why?

Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!

How?

Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
