You know that feeling before your “big moment” when, all of a sudden, it feels like your voice gets stuck in your throat?
You lose your words.
Or you put off grabbing onto those big moments in the first place because that other voice (the little one inside your head) says:
“Who, me? My voice? I’m not ready. I could never do that…”
“I don’t like the sound of my voice…”
“I’m not engaging enough when I speak…”
Maybe you cringe at the sound of your voice or you worry about using too many filler words like, umm, you know?
Maybe you feel yourself freeze up before business meetings, sales calls, or presentations…
Or you avoid starting that podcast, hosting that event, or jumping on Instagram Stories…
Perhaps you already have a podcast but you’re not sure if your voice is really connecting with your listeners…
Or you find yourself clamming up and not expressing your true feelings when it comes to the big conversations in your personal relationships…
It can be scary to step out of the box that society, your family, or your inner-self has placed you in. It can be wildly difficult to make those big fantastic moves in your business, career, or personal life when you don’t feel confident in your voice.
It’s all too common. Especially for marginalized groups, women, and LBGTQ+ folk. Especially for entrepreneurs and those looking to shake up the system.
But it doesn’t need to be.
Imagine if you could stop overthinking every word and worrying about how you sound.
- Imagine not feeling the need to over-prepare and rehearse each sentence
- Imagine finding actual joy in speaking to your listeners, whether behind a mic or a screen
- Imagine listeners connecting with you instantly and wanting to get to know you more because of your voice
Research shows communication is 55% body language, 38% your tone, and only 7% the actual words you use
Basically, it doesn’t matter if your words aren’t perfect all of the time if you’re speaking from the heart
When you feel courageous and empowered in the way you speak, people take notice.
When you’re not afraid of being vulnerable, you make an impression.
When you find comfort and confidence in your voice, listeners connect with you instantly. They want to get to know you, work with you, and tune into your content.
So, how do you find that confidence?
When you understand the psychology behind your blocks and fears, you know what’s holding you back
What were the obstacles behind using your full voice even at a young age? What messages have you absorbed throughout your life about the way you speak?
By knowing where your voice blocks come from, you have the power to change them.
So whether you’re an aspiring podcaster who wants to move people with your words….
An entrepreneur who needs to sell yourself…
An employee who wants more of a say at work…
A mother who wants to authentically share your feelings with your kids….
Or anyone else who wants to leverage the power of your unique voice….
You’ve got to accept that it’s okay to take up space
It’s okay to embrace your ”flaws”. It’s okay to make your voice “visible”.
Hey hey! I’m Mary Chan
Host of The Podcaster’s Guide to a Visible Voice
AS SEEN ON
I’m a podcaster, voice coach, and voice over artist with a mission to empower diverse perspectives and bring out the best in every voice. Born in Canada with Chinese immigrant parents and as the youngest girl in my household, I was told all my life to be quiet and stay small.
But feathers were made to be ruffled!
When I blew the bamboo ceiling off of my parents’ expectations of a career in medicine or finance and went to radio school instead…something changed drastically.
I discovered my 5-foot-1 self deserved to take up way more space than I’d been made to believe. I realized that I didn’t need to speak in the small, “cute” voice I was constantly expected to. The literal pitch of my voice changed—it got lower as I started to speak from the heart. I grew proud of my quirks instead of ashamed of them. I even started to make my own clothes to fully embody my true self from the inside-out. No cookie cutter sweaters and scarves for me, ma’am! I guess you can say radio killed the “shut up and be quiet” star.
For 20 years, I worked in radio, where I coached all sorts of people on how to get comfortable behind the mic and speak in a way that engaged people. In 2018, I went out on my own. I founded Organized Sound Productions, a podcasting production and voice coaching company where I help fellow women and entrepreneurs amplify their voices to their full potential.
People often say they want to “sound like me.” I’ve come to realize what they really want is my natural ability to speak confidently and with genuine emotion. Most people don’t believe me at first when I say anyone can do it. But it’s true. With the right tools and guidance, you can learn everything you need to speak with energy, authority, and impact.
You have what it takes to reclaim your voice. You just need the toolbox to match.
Introducing
The Visible Voice Program
Your roadmap to speaking with courage, spirit, and all your wonderful weirdness.
A 9-week program with an intimate group designed to unlock the truth behind your voice and speak with authenticity, confidence, and power.
So you can go from restricted and nervous to magnetic and unapologetically yourself with me and your fellow students by your side, at every step of the way.
Voice coaching is all about focusing on your strengths, not trying to twist your voice into something it’s not. As your coach, I’m not here to judge, but to listen with a critical yet discerning ear.
I’ll ask the hard questions and help you unlock the truth behind your voice. So you can meet your listeners emotion-to-emotion and truly engage them.
Through weekly sessions and assignments, you’ll explore your personal blocks and learn how to break free of them. You’ll also get to practice real-life situations so you can immediately use what we’ve put in place to start your revolution—er, I mean, empower your people!
You’ll walk out with the ultimate toolbox for speaking like the badass you are, on whatever crazy roller coasters life takes you.

Want a sneak peek of the curriculum? Cool—I love a keener!
Listen, I’ve talked to way too many people who spent years putting off that big thing. The podcast they wanted to start, the event they wanted to host, the conversations they wanted to have….
They spent years going down the rabbit hole trying to piece it all together and work up the courage to do the thing and SAY. IT. OUT. LOUD.
Imagine all the stories and insight they could have collected over that time if they’d had the courage to start right away.
That’s what I want this program to do for you.
Because nobody should feel like they have to struggle on their own to speak magnetically, or that their voice isn’t worth being heard.
This program is way more than breathing techniques and voice exercises (though we’ll certainly cover those)
This isn’t just a public speaking course on framing presentations and projecting.
It’s about getting at the “why” behind why your voice blocks. It’s about fully shifting your voice and changing the way you present yourself in all areas of life or business.
Once you learn how to reconnect with your voice, you’ll…
- Be able to speak up and share your thoughts without being stopped in your tracks from fear
- Stop overthinking speaking opportunities, feeling like you need to prepare obsessively, and worrying about what you’ll look like
- Connect with your listeners instantly so they’ll want more from you
- Learn to speak with confidence and be lively, whether you’re talking to one person or one million

“Mary’s method was like a road trip, enjoying the ride and,
before you know it, you’re a podcaster!

“Working with Mary as my guide through the technical and complex world of podcasting was like preparing for my first marathon. She set up bite-size manageable pieces that I could focus on to complete each week. All I had to do was focus on the task. Each week we celebrated my learning and development. Somewhere along the way, the work became ART! Even in the crazy world of editing, a secret love I have, I found the sweet spot for my creativity. I’m a big picture person and love complex ideas, yet Mary’s method was like a road trip, enjoying the ride and before you know it you’re a podcaster! I’m so proud of myself and feel like I’m in the game of life, crossing the finish line.”
– Laura Burns, Secrets Your Mentor Never Told You
“She turned the stressful situation of getting started
into something I was excited to learn about.”
“Whenever I’m asked for podcasting advice, I point people to Mary first! She is fun to work with, and turned the stressful situation of getting started into something I was excited to learn about. She helped me choose the right equipment for my needs, and advised me in setting up my home recording space. I now have confidence to make my podcasts sound professional.”
– Xandra Robinson-Burns, Heroine Training, The Art Life & What’s Your Favorite Part?

“Mary is simply amazing.”

“She has the technical expertise and can communicate to various audiences about the same content, which is quite a difficult thing to do. She is so down to earth and practical. Simply put, I recommend her highly!”
– Stephanie Fuccio, Geopats Podcast Network, #PodRevDay Founder, and Freelance Podcast Editor
This program is for you if:
I don’t have a magic wand (well, I have one in my 5-year old daughter’s room but it won’t quite do what you want it to). You’re going to need to put in the work to get all the goods out of this program.
This ain’t your cup of tea if:
This program is going to shift your voice and how you present yourself. So, if you’re not ready to empower yourself, grow your business, feel confident in the workplace, and fully embrace your relationships, it’s not for you.
