Sally is a voice coach who helps people realise their best voice and embrace public speaking with confidence. She’s a former TV news reporter, company spokesperson, and speech and drama teacher.

Sally has her own podcast called That Voice Podcast and enjoys making comedy TikToks, like reading song lyrics like a news report.

We were able to cover a lot in this episode as Sally was very open and generous with her story.

We talk about:

– How she built such a large following on TikTok and what that has done for her personally.

– How to deal with negativity when you have such a large following

– What holds people back when they aren’t utilising their voice properly and how to overcome this

– Her experience building her business and what she would say to others thinking about building their own business

– What her best experiences in business have been

– Some of the biggest challenges in her career

– And even what her biggest on-air blunder was. It’s quite a funny story.

Enjoy the episode. Sally is a great person and was a pleasure to talk to.
