This episode is packed with invaluable tips on preparing for solo episodes and easing the nerves of guests. I'm joined by voice coach Hannah, who shares practical advice, emphasising the importance of hydration, vocal warm-ups, and understanding how to maintain your natural voice during recordings. We chat about how to create a supportive environment for guests, including sending warm-up exercises and providing clear information about the podcast format. Whether you're just starting your podcast journey or looking to improve your skills, this conversation offers essential insights to help you engage confidently with your audience.
