This isn’t just another book on voice training. It’s part raw memoir, part professional manual, and part survival guide for anyone who uses their voice to make a living—and wants to protect it before it’s too late. I wrote Excuse Me, Have You Seen My Voice Anywhere? after living through the one thing no voice professional ever expects: losing the ability to speak clearly, confidently, and pain-free. A long career in broadcasting, teaching, podcasting, and voiceover led me straight into a complete vocal shutdown—diagnosed as Muscle Tension Dysphonia. That diagnosis nearly ended my career. Instead, it forced me to study the voice like my life depended on it—because it did. This book is the result of that experience

This is not a quick-fix workbook. It’s not academic, theatrical, or written in medical jargon. It’s a direct, personal, and highly practical guide from someone who’s lived both the high-performance world of voice work—and the crushing silence that can follow when your voice gives out. It’s the book I wish I had years ago: one that blends real-world training with hard-won insight. One that says, “Here’s what’s happening. Here’s how to fix it. And here’s how to stop it from happening again.

WHAT'S INSIDE

The book is broken into distinct sections—each one serving a clear purpose and building on the one before it.

PART ONE: THE SILENT STRUGGLE

This is the memoir section. It’s the unfiltered, brutally honest story of how my voice developed, how I lost it, and how I began the long road to recovery. You’ll read about growing up immersed in music, learning to scream properly (yes, really), working in radio, launching a podcasting empire too early for its time, and crashing into vocal burnout. It’s raw. It’s personal. And it sets the stage for everything else.

PART TWO: BUILT TO SPEAK

Here, we get into the anatomy and mechanics of the voice. You’ll learn how the voice is structured, what roles the diaphragm, intercostals, vocal folds, larynx, and posture all play, and how the body and brain work together to create sound.

PART THREE: TRAINING AND PRECISION

This is the toolbox section—packed with concepts and techniques you can use immediately. It covers:

Proper warmups and why they matter

Breath control and breath economy

Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract (SOVT) exercises

Resonance tuning and shaping your sound

Range, flexibility, and control

Articulation, diction, and stamina

Recovery, cool-downs, and injury prevention Each chapter provides clear explanations and actionable insights—even if you’ve never had voice training in your life.

PART FOUR: LANGUAGE, LETTERS, AND DICTION

This section focuses on how language interacts with vocal mechanics. It explores:

Vowels and consonants as tone-shaping tools

Monophthongs, diphthongs, and triphthongs

How diction affects clarity and confidence

Precision without sounding robotic

Why crispness matters—and how to achieve it Whether you're a speaker, performer, or educator, this section shows you how to make every word count.

This is where voice meets audience. We cover:

Stage fright and performance anxiety

Presence, posture, and vocal authority

Body language and nonverbal expression

The mental toll of voice problems

Building vocal confidence

The “3D Voice” concept—how physical, mental, and emotional factors all collide

Reclaiming identity through vocal control

PART EIGHT: MUSIC AND SINGING

Not a singer? That’s fine. This part is still for you. It covers:

The basics of vocal registers: chest, head, falsetto

What “placement” really means

Texture, tone, and control

Why you don’t need to sing to benefit from singing concepts

PART NINE: THE SCIENCE OF SOUND

A crash course in:

Decibels and vocal volume

Frequency and wave dynamics

How the human voice compares to instruments

Understanding resonance, amplitude, and how to avoid overloading your system

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR?

This book is for:

Professionals who use their voice daily (and never learned how)

Podcasters, speakers, teachers, and content creators

Voice-over artists and singers who want longevity

Anyone struggling with hoarseness, fatigue, or vocal frustration

Anyone recovering from voice loss and wondering how to get it back

Those who simply want to sound better, clearer, and more confident

You don’t need musical training. You don’t need to be a performer. You just need a voice—and a reason to use it well.

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK

Because no one teaches us how to use our voice—until it’s failing. This book gives you the framework, the knowledge, and the tools to understand your instrument, take control of it, and protect it for the long haul. It’s not just about how you sound. It’s about how you feel when you speak. Confident. Clear. In control. Whether you read it cover to cover, or jump into the section that speaks to your struggle, this book will give you insight and strategies you’ve never heard before—told by someone who’s lived every single chapter.
