    How to Sound More Trustworthy: Tina Dietz
    May 22 2025
    Vocal Confidence: The Hidden Key to Leadership Voice Training Tips for Team Leaders and Executives Episode 258 (Tina is based in Florida) In this conversation we explore… …why voice pitch influences leadership credibility and income. …how vocal qualities like tempo and sonority affect trust. …the cultural biases and perceptions surrounding vocal fry. …how to warm up your voice quickly and effectively before a speech. …why tempo is the #1 indicator of confidence and credibility. …how authors can decide whether to narrate their own audiobook. …the current limitations and ethical concerns of AI-narrated audiobooks. …how singing and vocal exercises can improve vocal performance. …how to be more curious and less judgmental in conversations. …what new leaders should do to gain trust and assess team dynamics. ----- About our guest, Tina Dietz: Tina Dietz has launched two companies which have been disrupting the audiobook and publishing industries. Check them out at https://twinflamesstudios.com/ https://www.alembicpress.com/ You can listen to the monthly expert panels for nonfiction authors and publishing pros https://twinflamesstudios.com/panels/ ----- Key Learning Points Lower Pitch = Higher Trust Deeper voices are culturally associated with leadership and credibility. CEOs with lower voices earned $180,000 more annually on average. Voice Is a Thumbprint of Identity We recognize people more by voice than face in many contexts. Self-perception of our voice often misaligns with how others hear it. Tempo Indicates Confidence Comfortable pacing and controlled breathing signal authority. Speaking too fast or slow undermines credibility. Vocal Fry Carries Cultural Baggage Once linked with lack of credibility, now more accepted. May stem from women lowering voices to be taken seriously. Warm-Ups Improve Vocal Quality Breathing, facial massage, yawning, and tongue twisters can reduce tension and increase sonority. Confidence Can Be Trained Singing, vocal exercises, and throat relaxation build vocal presence. Apps like Vocal Image use AI to measure improvements. Narrating Your Audiobook? It Depends Quality trumps personal voice unless you're skilled and comfortable. 75% of Tina’s clients successfully narrate their own books with guidance. AI Audio Narration Isn’t Ready Yet Quality and rights issues persist with AI narration tools. Human narration still dominates in credibility and listener preference. Curiosity Beats Judgment Openness invites understanding and reduces defensiveness. Phrases like “Tell me more” and “Let’s explore that” build connection. New Leaders Should Lead with Listening Assess team culture before imposing change. Start with questions, not assumptions. ---- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

    Key Learning Points from the Interview

    1. Culture is a Competitive Advantage

      • Culture impacts productivity, retention, customer loyalty, and overall performance more than strategy alone.

    2. Mojo Matters

      • Mojo is the vibe or energy of a workplace—it can be felt and should be maintained intentionally.

    3. Humor Fuels Culture

      • Humor isn’t fluff; it builds psychological safety, encourages engagement, and reduces burnout.

    4. Leadership Sets the Tone

      • Leaders act as culture conductors. Their words, mood, and mindset ripple through teams.

    5. Everyone Owns Culture

      • Culture isn’t HR’s job alone. Every employee contributes to culture in every interaction.

    6. Small Moments Have Big Outcomes

      • A culture is shaped more by consistent small gestures than by grand slogans or posters.

    7. Define and Live Your Values

      • Real values are reflected in daily decisions, not corporate posters. Misaligned values create cynicism.

    8. Conflict is Inevitable—Make It Constructive

      • Healthy cultures allow disagreement without blame or fear. Psychological safety matters.

    9. Assess Culture With Gut Checks and Simple Questions

      • Ask: Would you recommend this workplace to a friend? What’s one thing you’d change?

    10. Culture Attracts Talent

    • Great cultures draw top talent. But to win them, you must showcase culture honestly and creatively.
