danny brown - community / connection / conversation: What's Your Voice | danny brown

    This is such an important question because your voice is what separates you from others. Literally and figuratively.

    That movie preview guy has quite a voice. Apple has quite a voice. Steve Tyler has quite a voice.

    "You control whether you help change the world or accept the status quo. Your control defines the perception of you by others."

    Couldn't have said it better :)

    My Voice... For me I am the same. Believe it or not, but I talk to everyone the same. I have made it very important that my clients know who I am as a person, so when they do search the internet for me there are no surprises.

    I think that changing my voice would be the worse thing I could do to myself. I believe that my clients like the person I am and the work I do, so this is why they stay with me. Even when my clients are in the US and I live in Costa Rica.

    You are right. Our voice is the ONE thing we can control in a world of variables.

    I also use only one voice - take it or leave it

    Many months ago I had a bit of a crisis on my blog because I felt I wasn't blogging with my real voice. The blog is much more professional that I am and doesn't contain any cursing ;-) I've learned over time to write more like I speak - it's more conversational and sometimes snarky, although I still don't curse. Umm ... what's my point? Oh yeah - I wish I had read a post like this when I had that mini-crisis.
