Bringing Your Full Voice to Life | Barbara McAfee | TEDxGustavusAdolphusCollege

No matter what you do for a living, you spend a good part of every day in conversation — at work, at home, and in your community. As important as our voices are, few of us know how to use them to their full potential. Many of us feel self-conscious about how we sound, but don’t know how to make authentic, lasting change in our voices. Barbara created the Five Elements Framework through decades of voice coaching with people from many walks of life.
