You Can’t Hear Yourself!
Think about this for a second. We don’t hear our own voices. You don’t even know the sound of your own voice. It is a universal human phenomenon. Listeners hear your voice completely differently than the way that you do.
Rick Salmon is one of the world´s most renowned executive coaches. Rick says: “In my 12 years of coaching senior executives, professional investors, speakers and entrepreneurs, I have rarely met a client who truly understands their own voice and knows how to harness it’s real impact. That’s the bad news. The good news is that it is easy to remedy this, and in doing so, to make huge and rapid improvements.”
And the even better news is that you don´t need to hire expensive coaches like Rick Salmon to improve. Now, we´re happy to announce, there´s an app for that!

THE VOICEABLE PHILOSOPHY
We all communicate with the world using Words, Music and Dance. Our vision at Voiceable is to provide tools that allow you to measure your own unique Words, Music and Dance using the best technology available in the world.
- WORDS are the specific words and structures that we use, including things like metaphors and stories.
- MUSIC is how we use our voices to convey emotion and impact.
- DANCE is how we use our bodies to strengthen messages and communicate powerfully.
