With podcasts all the rage in recent years, you might be asking yourself whether you’d make a good podcast guest. Or if you frequently appear on podcasts, perhaps you’d like to improve your performance? That’s the focus of voice and singing coach Jeremy Fisher’s new book, Just How Boring Are You?
It’s also the focus of Paul’s latest episode of In a Manner of Speaking, during which he interviews Jeremy and his wife and co-founder of Vocal Process Gillyanne Kayes. Listen to the episode here, or find it on your favorite podcast channel or index.
