Last month, I had the privilege of being interviewed by Rush Dorsett as part of a brilliant 14-day virtual summit. The Awaken Your Voice Summit is an annual event targeted at professional and emerging performing artists and voice users seeking alternative pathways to awaken the power of their voice to communicate (singing/speaking/writing) more clearly and effectively.The Awaken Your Voice Summit is offering a holistic approach to voice training. This event included live vocal practices, demonstrations, training, and intimate conversations with Grammy award-winning performers, as well as Master teachers. It was an opportunity to create an inspiring and transformational experience for participants to explore their voices in a much deeper and more authentic way.During my candid interview with Rush, I was asked to share my personal story, my professional journey, and my career experiences, which included the highlights and pitfalls I encountered as an award-winning singer. I was given the opportunity to offer some pearls of wisdom to the listeners about how they, too, can discover their own voices in the most authentic manner.At the end of the interview, I gave away my free eBook which you also can access via a link in the show notes. I’d like to thank Rush Dorsett for allowing me to share this interview with you.In this Episode4:52 - Introduction10:10 - Overcoming being silenced16:00 - Identity, resilience, and healing from trauma28:07 - Resilience, inner strength, and creating safe spaces for growth46:30 - Daily Regime48:59 - In Gratitude – My Daily Self Journal1:03:31 - The eBook and Performance Mastery Coaching ProgramFind Rush Online:Website: https://rushdorsett.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/rushdorsetthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064364934765 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rushdorsett/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rush-dorsett-83441365/And you could add this as a freebie to go with it: https://www.embodiedvoicecoaching.academy/vocal-quiz For more go to https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/141Like this episode?
