Your Voice Is Your Power—Now Make It Heard

More than ever before, the business, entertainment, and political landscapes are ripe for women to accomplish their goals. Women are entering law, medical, and graduate schools in equal numbers to men. But it's still a challenge to make it to the top.

Developing excellent communication and public speaking skills gives women the ability to rise to their full potential, seize every opportunity, and realize their aspirations. Whether pitching for new business, delivering a talk at a conference, raising money for a non-profit, or communicating one-on-one with coworkers, women can become effective, powerful communicators when they speak with authenticity and confidence.

Deborah Shames, a veteran speaker and master trainer with 18 years of experience coaching high-level executives and celebrities, invites women to step up and be heard. Noting the perfection syndrome and negative self-talk that plague many women, Deborah delivers a how-to for battling these demons and identifies women's special talents—from high emotional intelligence and leadership skills to storytelling. She guides readers in the mechanics of communicating efficiently and constructing successful presentations, even with pressing deadlines.

Out Front is the definitive book for every woman who wants to engage an audience and expand her influence, whatever the venue or challenge.

      With Set Your Voice Free, Voiceplace president Love, with writer Frazier (coauthor, Emotional Blackmail), shares techniques and exercises that help singers/speakers strengthen and effectively use their voices to connect with and move audiences. He employs examples from well-known artists he has coached and applies a wide range of methods to improve voice quality and delivery.

      In Out Front, Shames (coauthor, Own the Room) guides readers through the mechanics of effective public speaking via emotional intelligence, leadership skills, and storytelling. Love concentrates more on dynamics, asking readers to focus on breathing, expanding one's range, and changing diet and personal habits to establish a clear voice. Shames works on developing assurance, personality, and language, paying attention to the quality of speech but also emphasizing the need to communicate the passion of one's message. In essence, Love, who zeroes in on technique, offers a series of voice lessons. VERDICT While both books are effective in their own ways, if one wants to gain confidence, go with Shames. If one has confidence but needs vocal assistance, choose Love.
