I have such a fun treat for you today. As a celebrity vocal coach, Denise Woods is the "voice behind the voice." She's worked with Halle Berry, Will Smith, Jessica Chastain, Queen Latifah, Idris Elba and so many other A-list celebrities. But here's the cool thing; Denise can also help those of us who aren't celebs use our voice to the best of its ability, actually improving our lives in the most unexpected ways. 

About Our Guest:

Henson, Mahershala Ali, Idris Elba, and many others.

In her brand new book, The Power of Voice: A Guide to Making Yourself Heard, Woods reflects on her journey from shy child in New York City to successful performer, graduate of and teacher at the famed Julliard School and later the California Institute of the Arts to her work with a host of legendary stars.  Providing valuable lessons and exercises to overcome common voice and speech issues and become confident, effective communicators, this first-of-its-kind guide reveals how to master the voice’s full capacity to achieve our goals and express our true selves in relationships, family dynamics, business, and more.
