You deserve to use your voice how you want to,

You deserve to use your voice how you want to,
when you want to—with confidence and emotion

SHIFT THE WAY YOU SPEAK
AND CAPTIVATE YOUR LISTENERS

It’s time to be yourself, unapologetically…

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”.

the Craic by Kwench

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.

“Working with Mary has been a game-changer for my show! Not only is she very friendly, accessible, and communicative, I absolutely trust her judgement.”

 – Catherine Meng, Host of Design Voice Podcast

“That shit is priceless.”

“You gave me a way to look at (and listen to) this fun little closet hobby-project of mine in a way that feels really amazing—like it might actually be of value to others in a valid way! That shit is priceless. I really can’t thank you enough.”

– Dr. Ya-Ling Liou, Host of Conversations About Everyday Pain

“I felt completely supported by her throughout!”

“Mary broke everything down into the simplest steps, which made the whole process so easy and fun. I felt completely supported by her throughout! I know I would never have been able to tackle this project without your expert guidance and support.”

 – Kim Foster, MD & Coach, Marketing & Mindset for Wellness Coaches

Listen up! Here’s what’s included:

This 9-week program is fully dedicated to helping you shift the way you speak so you can take the fiery action you’ve always wanted to on your podcast, at work, in your business, or in your relationships.

  • 9 weekly group coaching calls to get my direct attention and support from your fellow voice students
  • Weekly assignments that help you consider your voice blocks, start practicing, and take action immediately
  • A mailed-to-you workbook-meets-journal to complete your assignments and help you reflect on the experience. No need to download PDFs and print them out!
  • Mailed-to-you Voice Connection Cards so you get a daily boost of encouragement and reminders that your voice is amazing
  • Weekly audio lessons that detail the themes of each week and get you to consider the hard questions
  • One 30-minute private coaching call scheduled with me whenever you need it, even if it’s waaay after the program wraps up

Each week we’ll review the previous week’s work where I’ll listen with a careful ear and guide you to shift your voice where you’d like it to go.

Want a sneak peek of the curriculum? Cool—I love a keener!
We’ll kick things off by getting thoroughly acquainted with your new community! We’ll cover personal goals and establish what will make the sessions a safe, respectful, and vibrant learning community for everyone.

There are many emotions and past experiences that may hold you back from using your voice. During this week, we’ll identify your personal blockages and start planting seeds for your future self. We’ll explore how you can make a bigger impact with your voice and define what success looks like for you.

Fear often holds us back from speaking, whether it’s fear of making a mistake, fumbling over your words, or forgetting what to say. During this week, you’ll learn how to structure your thoughts, which provides groundness and relaxes you, and how to naturally recover with ease. You’ll learn how to say what’s in your heart with the skills you already possess, free of fear or need for perfection.

During this week, you’ll learn how to process emotion before words so your authentic self shines in your tone of voice. When you know your emotions and how you want your listeners to feel, your tone of voice follows. No more worrying about sounding “monotone” or “upspeaking.”

A relaxed body is a confident voice. During this week, we’ll explore the many physical things that affect the way you speak, from diaphragmatic breathing techniques and posture, to what to eat and drink before speaking. We’ll also dive into preventative wellness practices to keep your voice in tip-top shape.

This week is all about knowing the characteristics of your voice that lead and influence—like variety, pitch, melody, and pacing. We’ll explore the 5 Keys to a Visible Voice and assemble your personal speaking toolbox to help you connect emotionally with your listeners.

Ever sound like you’re reading a book when you’re using a script? This week you’ll learn how to be fully engaged with your script so it sounds natural and authentic. You’ll explore how to “mark one up” and how to use bullet points versus a full script.

Nothing like a camera to ignite our insecurities! During this week, you’ll find the freedom to be “on” whenever you need to get in front of the camera. You’ll learn to let go of self judgment or perceived judgment from others and find the confidence to put your face forward, good hair days and bad.

This week, we’ll tackle any lingering questions you have about your voice and make sure you’re ready to march on and speak with truth! It won’t be goodbye forever, of course. The connections you’ll make with your fellow speakers are ones to hold onto so you can continue to lean on one another.

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.

Beth Cougler Blom

“Mary understands that the vocal coaching work can be awkward and slightly embarrassing…

But she made it comfortable and guided me expertly through the process. She not only knows what she’s doing, she’s really fun to work with! We laughed all along the way.”

Beth Cougler Blom, Learning Designer and Facilitator
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:
  • You’re a podcaster who wants to grow your audience and take your voice to the next level so people stop hitting “skip”.

  • You’re an aspiring podcaster who’s put off starting because you doubt your voice.

  • You’re an entrepreneur who needs to show up again and again on your socials..
  • You feel unheard in the workplace and want the ability to show up stronger and more authentically with your colleagues.

  • You struggle with imposter syndrome that affects your voice (don’t we all at some point?).

  • You want to learn how to communicate in your personal relationships more effectively and more genuinely.

  • You want to get better showing up as your true self.

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:
  • You aren’t ready to break out of your fear.

  • You don’t want to work in a community. What’s great about this program is you’ll be surrounded by like-minded people who want to improve their voice. So, you need to be a team player.

  • You’d prefer to stick to the status quo. Some “rules” are made to be broken. That’s what makes showing up with our authentic voices possible! If you’re against thinking outside the box, you’ll have trouble with this one.
  • You already feel 100% confident in your voice and never question your ability to show up and speak from the heart.

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.

No, this is not just for podcasters! That and more frequently asked questions right here:
You might get more 1:1 time with me that way, but it would be much more costly. And you’ll still be getting plenty of face time with me anyway—we’re going to get to know each other, let me tell you! I only have limited space in this program to ensure I can give each and every student the direct attention and focus you deserve. This means I will be personally vetting each applicant to make sure everyone is a perfect fit for the program.

In addition, you also get a one-time credit for a 30-minute 1:1 coaching call with me. Half an hour to ask any and all lingering questions and get even more personalized help!

Plus, the community is one of the awesome perks of this program. You can rest assured you’ll only be surrounded by people who will support you, cheer you on, and share in your experiences.

There will be a maximum of 12 students total. I want it to be an intimate group so you can really get to know your fellow students. Also, since I’ll be giving lots of personalized feedback and offering 1:1 calls after the program, I have to keep the group at a manageable size!

I could produce a digital course for you to work on your own, but you won’t get the same results without having personalized feedback from me and your community in a group setting. Voice work is something you need direct feedback on—that’s what results in immediate growth. How are you going to get that feedback if there’s no one to listen to your voice?

The assignments are based on your own capacity. So you could take 30 minutes, an hour, or more. It really depends on how deeply you want to dive in.
The audio lessons are all about 20-minutes or less and designed to be listened to before the weekly live group coaching sessions. The group coaching sessions themselves will be one hour each week.
The program is 9-weeks and begins the last week of April (week of April 27th). Access to the community is available the week before (April 20th) to get you ready.
Once you click “Apply Now,” You’ll be directed to an application form where I’ll collect some information on why you want to join the program, your background, and your goals when it comes to your voice. You’ll also have the chance to schedule a 15-minute call with me if you have further questions.
If you’re a good fit, I’ll send you an invoice and confirmation info within 48 hours (no payment information is collected when you fill out your application). Once you settle up, you’ll then receive emails from me about next steps and scheduling details for when the program kicks off.
Spots will be given on a first come, first serve basis (as long I’m confident the program is a perfect fit for you).

We’re going to be exploring way more than just breathing techniques, framing presentations, and eye contact, baby. We’re going to go deep into what’s blocking you from using your full voice and establish what success means for your voice. You’ll learn how to speak from the heart, leverage your quirks, and make your listeners want to get to know you more.

I’m trained to hear all the nuances in voices so speakers can create transformations quickly. I spent 20 years coaching people how to speak for radio. From experienced broadcasters to small business owners who’d never stepped foot behind a mic, it was all about me listening to their emotions and the message they wanted to convey in subtle and subconscious ways.
Since then, with Organized Sound Productions, I’ve also helped dozens of fellow women and entrepreneurs on how to craft the podcast of their dreams. Witnessing them grow into their voices has been insanely satisfying and it makes me 100% confident I can do the same for you.
No problem at all! This course is for anyone who wants (needs) to use the power of their authentic voice to improve their professional or personal lives. It’s excellent for podcasters and aspiring podcasters, but it’s fantastic for entrepreneurs of all kinds. It’s also excellent for people in the workforce who want to improve their leadership and collaboration skills by finding the strength to speak with empowerment, and those who just want to flourish in their personal relationships through effective, engaging communication.
More often than not, our camera shyness is rooted in our voice. Once you find the confidence to speak as your true self, let go of perceived judgment, and reclaim your voice, the camera becomes a whole lot less scary. Plus, the course’s curriculum includes a full week dedicated to addressing how to get extra comfy behind the camera and merging your voice with your facial expressions.
I’m not going to say you’re guaranteed to walk out the next Michelle Obama on Day 1. You might, but you might not.

This program will address some deep rooted blocks and fears. Those things don’t go away overnight. It takes consistent practice and checking in with yourself to reclaim your voice to its fullest potential. That said, you will find the tools you need to work through your voice blocks very quickly. You’ll immediately have a voice tool kit you can refer to whenever you need to use your voice. You’ll walk out with amazing perspective, takeaways to leverage for immediate action, improved confidence, and a whole community to support you on your speaking journey.

If, after attending the opening ceremony (in Week 1), you determine that the program is not right for you, you may opt for a 60% refund. I reserve the right to deny any refund requests.

It’s time to transform the way you speak and inspire your listeners.
