Get voice coaching
It’s a no-brainer!
If you want a career in journalism you have to develop your voice.
There’s heaps of good voice coaches around, so I’m not even saying come to me. I’m just saying do it!
Yeh, it sucks that uni’s don’t teach it and news bosses don’t usually pay for it, but that doesn’t change the fact that if you don’t have a good voice you won’t go very far in this industry.
Don’t just wing-it and hope for the best. Get in on the secrets I’ve shared with dozens of broadcast journalists and get that job, advance your career and sound like you’re telling the story, not just reading the script.

“If you are serious about radio or television, my number one tip is just start getting voice coaching because there are so many tips that you will not learn yourself. There are skills and strategies you need - and I still get voice coaching now.”

“It's a tough industry at the moment so work on your voice because you shouldn't be limiting yourself to one particular area. Lift your eyes, broaden your skill set and do some voice training because in that media area, voice is really important.”
