Overview

Reclaim your voice and ignite your confidence with this practical guide from one of Hollywood's top speech coaches What does power sound like? Loud? Brash? Masculine? Well, it's time to change that. In this warm and witty manual, Hollywood voice coach Samara Bay offers a compelling approach to asserting your power in all arenas of life. Packed with expert tips and easy-to-follow exercises, Permission to Speak is designed to liberate and inspire even the most tentative of public speakers. Using in-depth analysis of powerful public figures, from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Michelle Obama to Brene Brown and Lizzo, Bay explodes what we think we know about our voices and how they should sound, and digs deep to the very heart of what they can be. Permission To Speak shows that women don't have to borrow markers of male leadership to be taken seriously - rather, they can and should be fearlessly, unashamedly themselves.
