YOUR POTENTIAL
What exactly IS the full potential of your voice...

Using the full potential of your voice really means two things. There is your physical voice that is operated by your body and is clearly audible to everyone – and then there is your voice, as in who you are and what you project energetically. You are always transmitting something – so you are always communicating, even when you don’t mean to, and even when you are not aware of it.

What kind of energy is behind your words? Do you speak with a balanced, clear and strong energy - or do you sometimes communicate mixed messages when you speak? Is the message behind the message telling a different story than the one you are attempting to communicate?

The way you present yourself and the way your voice carries your message across are crucial to how you are perceived, no matter what the actual content of your message is, regardless of your expertise. This means that it is not just important what you say – it is also how you say it and who is saying it.

We obviously want people to realize how wonderful and amazing we are and how valuable our service is. This is why, to be truly great communicators we simply have to look the full picture. Practical skills are not always enough. We need a more holistic approach.
Well, you’re in luck - now you can have it all in one neat comprehensive package.Your Voice is Your Calling Card offers a complete coaching program that will help you release fears, build confidence and allow the real, authentic you to come out.


Speaking in your own voice will...

  • Make your presence much more powerful
  • Make your message more compelling
  • Make your connection with the audience much stronger
  • This connection will open hearts and minds and allow your message to be heard and appreciated like never before.


Speaking in a strong physical voice will...

  • Command respect and attention
  • Keep your listeners excited
  • Exude confidence and expertise
  • Keep your voice healthy and eliminate voice problems forever

Isn't it time for you to share your message, to truly be able to contribute and get the attention and the respect that you deserve?
It’s easier than you think and it will make you FEEL wonderful knowing that you too can touch people’s hearts, impact their lives and make a profound difference.


Why Learning about The Voice Is CRUCIAL for Any Speaker!

Perhaps you’re thinking, why bother learning about your physical voice – anyone knows how to breathe correctly and talk, right?
Wrong. Most people breathe only superficially, especially if they’re stressed or nervous. This is referred to as shallow breathing. Shallow breathing impairs the voice function, and creates blockages and even more nervous energy on top. You don’t need this! Learn simple steps how to breathe properly and fuel your body, mind – and voice. Your voice can make all the difference between a winning performance and a catastrophic one. Proper voice technique is simply a must for anyone using their voice professionally. Ironically many speakers completely ignore caring for their instrument and as a result struggle with voice problems – especially during busy times. This is totally unnecessary. Just a few tips can put your voice in a league of it own. Realize the true potential of your voice and enjoy the advantages of a powerful, dynamic, pleasant, warm and balanced voice that will remain strong and powerful at all times.
Your Voice is Your Calling Card covers all the important aspects of strong and healthy voice performance.


Nerves, Fear and Performance Anxiety...

Are you struggling with nerves or suffering from performance anxiety or stage fright? Do your voice gets stuck and seems to take on a rebellious life of its own when you’re trying to express yourself or if your voice simply “dries out“, gets hoarse or tires when you speak too often or for too long… If so, rest assured that you are NOT alone!
Millions of people suffer terribly from fear of speaking in public or simply speaking up in front of other people. As a result they never get the chance to truly shine and share their gifts and inspiration with the world.
Don’t let this happen to you. If you ever suffered from nerves, performance anxiety or stage fright, here is your chance to conquer these unpleasant feelings for good and finally allow yourself the freedom to be who you really are – even in the spotlight.

How you show up, determines if your message gets through to people – or not. Learn how to be your absolute best and SHOW UP POWERFULLY – every time.
Your Voice is Your Calling Card offers a complete coaching program that will help you release fears, build confidence, discover the full potential of your physical voice, and allow the real, authentic YOU to come out.
Suzann's proven system has helped people time and again to overcome fears, nerves and stage fright once and for all. It can help you too. You can soon enjoy the ability to express yourself freely and fearlessly.


Detailed Course Overview

Lesson 1

Voice and Spirit…
Finding Your Own True Voice - What Does it Mean...?

When I talk about “voice” that, to me, really means two things. There is your physical voice that is operated by your body and is clearly audible to everyone – and then there is your voice, as in who you are, what you stand for, and what your life purpose is.

The “second” voice or Little Voice as I prefer to call it, sometimes gets disorientated and then it starts sending out mixed messages. This is when we go off track. We get confused – and the people around us get confused too because whatever this voice is thinking, it will immediately transmit energetically.


To be great speakers or communicators of any sorts, we need to be in tune with who we are and what the true purpose of our message is. Only then are we able to bring out the true, unique and powerful voice that resides within all of us.

It is in this voice that we find the gift of self-expression and fulfillment in the highest sense and in this voice that we are able to offer true value, service and contribution to the lives of others.

Most people have a message, something that they feel passionate about that they would like to share. But many are afraid - they don’t have the confidence to speak their heart and mind. They freeze up at the thought of speaking to a crowd or even to a small group of people. Perhaps they don’t trust themselves and their message to be “important” enough. As a result they never get the chance to truly shine and share their gifts and inspiration with the world. This is a great shame. It is important to make those people aware that they too have a true, unique and powerful voice - a voice that speaks from the deepest core of their being and enables them to offer true value and contribution – if they let it.

In this first lesson of the Suzann Rye my Rx for Living seminar series we will focus on indentifying your own unique, authentic VOICE asking…
Who are YOU?

What is important to you?

What is your life purpose?
What is your message and how do you communicate that to the people around you and the world?
What kind of energy is behind your words?
Do you get in your own way? Do you speak with a balanced, clear and strong energy - or do you sometimes communicate mixed messages when you speak?
Is the message behind the message telling a different story than the one you are attempting to communicate? How do you show up? This will determine if people “get you”, and if your message gets through to them – or not.

Lesson 2

The Fear Factor....

Fear creates resistance to change and progress. It prevents us from expressing who we really are and sharing what we have to offer. It creates feelings of jealousy and resentment and tricks us into feeling less fortunate or ill-used. Fear is what keeps most people from doing whatever it is that they want. Fear makes us feel powerless and inadequate. It gives us excuses not to act and keeps us from pursuing our dreams. Fear becomes a tool to protect ourselves from the disappointment we might experience if things shouldn’t turn out the way we would like them to. In fear, we find excuses not to follow our hearts, live life fully, and journey courageously toward our goals. “Better safe than sorry,” we think.

This is all very convenient—but not very productive and certainly not very fulfilling. If we would instead face our fears head-on, we would feel a lot happier and achieve much more.

We all have different emotional baggage that manifests later on in life—often when and where we least expect it and often in disguise. We can be deeply affected by fear even when we don’t see a direct connection to the real fear or the real issue behind it at the time.

Fear has prevented many great things from coming from many great people. Fear is destructive and leads to no good at all.

The good news is we’ve all been there. We’ve all been scaredand survived. When your world is collapsing around you and panic strikes; remind yourself that you are not alone. Others have gone before you and have learned that even the scariest or most embarrassing moment ever eventually becomes just another brick in the wall, making it even stronger.

Many great men and women have achieved great things because they chose courage instead of fear. When you hear or read about people like that, you might feel a sense of excitement and inspiration. That is your Soul reminding you that achieving great things is possible. Hold on to that feeling. Remain inspired and empowered by these wonderful tales from the realm of unlimited possibilities.

What is holding you back from being the absolute best that you can be and communicating your message loudly and clearly to the world? What are YOUR fears?
In this second lesson of the Suzann Rye RCN series we will explore the origin of our fears and learn how to transform our fearful feelings into powerful, constructive energy that will enable us to share our gifts and valuable messages with the world. We will also explore the concept of “success”… What does being successful mean – to you?

Testimonials

Total Transformation!

A few years ago I was a very different person that I am now. I had very low self-esteem. I felt something deep inside of me, an urge to LIVE, to BE more and to express what I felt was my true self to the world - but I was afraid.
Then I came across a voice workshop run by Suzann. My life has never since been the same.
What I learned in that workshop (and the following three) completely set me on a totally new course.
Suzann Rye is the most amazing teacher I have ever come across. She has the ability to build on people's confidence beyond anything you could possibly imagine. She literally helped me change my whole life around.
Suzann's work goes far beyond the boundaries of just teaching people how to use their voice. For the first time in my life I experienced what it meant to really be heard. I discovered potential within myself that far exceeded any expectations I had when I first went for voice training.
I am now a very successful coach in my own right. I have gone from being a stay at home wife and mom - to running several successful businesses, being involved with a state funded project for challenged kids, being headhunted for a huge overseas venture, and setting up a TV show! My life has literally transformed - all in a few years time.
Suzann made me explore endless possibilities, and gave me the confidence and self-belief that I needed to grow.
I'm not ever going back to that fearful person that I once was - I'm gonna live life FULLY for the rest of my days! I found MY voice.

Sue Kemp, Entrepreneur, Coach and Counselor.

Complete Mentoring!
I am speechless! And not because Suzann cautioned me to rest my voice-but because she took her valuable time to address my specific problems and with such depth and knowledge.
What a treasure she is to those of us fortunate enough to have her as our teacher. Her advice took me far beyond what might NEVER have happened had I gone on without it. Her complete mentoring approach is so evident in its success. All hidden stumbling blocks are all brought into the light.
Thank you Suzann from the bottom of my heart and soul for the tender, caring way you enfold your students with advice that treats the whole person-physically and emotionally. Only a truly dedicated and unselfish mentor could give from so deep within. What a blessing you truly are and I know that I am not alone in receiving your gifts. The beauty of your giving soul is gorgeous! With loving gratitude.

Elinor Pierce, aka Laurie Allyn, jazz artist/vocalist.

A Teacher's Teacher!
Suzann has an uncanny ability to inspire and enthuse people.
Watching her draw the true voice out of nervous, timid students who truly feel they have none is an education in itself.
As both a musician and university lecturer, I know the importance of truly communicating and connecting with your audience-and how important finding your own voice is to achieving your goals in any sphere of life.
What I learnt from Suzann has stayed with me and proved just as useful from behind the lectern as it did onstage. Suzann is truly the teacher's teacher.

A.P. Langman, Ph.D. University Lecturer, Author, and Journalist

A Journey of Discovery!
For a long time I suffered from low self-esteem and a fear of facing other people. I wanted to be a performer, but I had no belief in myself. The thought of performing on stage terrified me!
Then I started working with Suzann. We were about 40 people in a group. I noticed that something extraordinary was happening. Suzann was gradually leading us to a totally new way of expressing ourselves. Instead of merely focusing on the technical stuff, she was showing us how to face our fears relating to our voices-the very thing that forces our voices to stay silent.
For me, my worst fear was always people judging me and thinking ill of me. Suzann helped me face that fear. I now enjoy life as a performer. Today I am calm and comfortable on stage, and I no longer make myself ‘small.'
I recommend working with Suzann and most certainly reading her book. As with anything else she does, she has poured her heart and soul into it. Reading it is like having Suzann right there in the room with you. And if you ask me, that's a chance you don't want to miss!


Gunnar Gunnerson, Performer and Healer

Simply Impossible Not to Be Inspired!

I was taught never to set my hopes too high and, perhaps as a result of that, I've always had quite a skeptical attitude toward life. I certainly never believed that I would have the courage to be a performer.
Then I ran into Suzann. I was a student in one of her voice classes.
She encouraged me to create a picture in my mind that represented me as the communicator and artist I wanted to be. At first I was very skeptical! But Suzann persuaded me to try anyway.
You have to understand: Suzann is not like most people I've ever met-she's extraordinarily positive. It's simply impossible not be inspired by her. She told me that I could be anything I wanted to be, as long as I believed it. She inspired me to believe in the power of mind.
It worked. It has helped me ever since to control my nerves before going on stage.
I have enormous respect for Suzann and her work. She somehow manages to make you feel special. She makes you realize that you deserve to follow your dreams-that you can and should follow them.


Mia Louise Andresen, Former Student

Become What Your Dream About!
I was always very nervous and insecure when performing in front of others. But working with the Dream Character *( Suzann Rye's Coaching Program) gave me so much strength and confidence. Suzann helped me understand that you can become exactly what you dream about. And you CAN get everything that you really wish for. At first I didn't believe when she said to me, ‘If you see yourself as you imagine yourself on stage-it becomes real.' But she was right.
Now I feel one with my Dream Character. It no longer represents somebody that I would like to be-it simply IS me. This program is definitely something any performer should work with. Thank you so much, Suzann!
