Voice Coaching: what distinguishes an authentic coach from those who offer outdated ideas?

Often, especially on social media, many people ask me why Inborn Voice does not offer like everyone else certain techniques or “miracle secrets” in the voice coaching domain. The reason why we avoid this content lies precisely in “everyone else.” The truth is that in the world of training and personal growth, the voice is a unique and deeply personal aspect, far different from the standardized formulas that everyone so readily offers online. Algorithms reward those who offer replicated and recycled content, it’s true, but that doesn’t mean that advice is valid or effective. You may have noticed that a lot of content exploits your expectations to keep you glued to the screen and get you to ‘like’ it, and that often that content simply just doesn’t actually exist. In the case of these coaching tips, they are nothing more than a collection of outdated and repetitive ideas, dating back to literature written more than 50 years ago, which you may never have heard before. It’s a bit like being impressed by the news of a car with a 16-valve engine or a cell phone with 4G connectivity. These are technologies that have been outdated for decades, but you simply weren’t aware of them. Here at Inborn Voice, we bring you ideas and concepts that represent the future of speech coaching. It’s no coincidence that they’re used to create Communication Skills and Personal Development courses at the world’s leading universities.

Your voice and expressiveness are a unique journey of discovery that cannot be confined or limited by simple techniques. The basis of any true path to improvement, whatever the field, is listening to yourself and cultivating your authenticity. Following rigid methods or patterns without personal and emotional adaptability only risks flattening your communication, depriving it of your distinctive characteristics. Many people ask me, “I want to be like Steve Jobs.” There is nothing wrong with wanting to excel, but anyone can copy Steve’s techniques. Becoming his worthy successor, however, requires creating something never seen before, something that only you can express (and that others may want to imitate in the future!).

Personal growth (and growth in your vocal expression ) requires professional, personalized voice coaching that takes into account individual needs, limitations, and potential. A reputable coach is always up to date on the latest research and pays close attention to every detail. They don’t just take a few days’ course (yes, days!) and then boast about being a coach! Here at Inborn Voice, we receive requests every day from people who want to become Certified Voice Coaches. We train and certify new Inborn Voice coaches every day, and the path to even the first certificate takes years! Simplification is something that only experience can achieve, but for those starting from scratch, it is essential to start with the basics. Thinking that a single outdated model can work for everyone is a common mistake that should be avoided.

Finally, there is the often underestimated risk of marketing disguised as training. Often what is presented as training is instead a series of slogans repeated for commercial purposes, not a real transformation. Very often, these are just communication classes and public speaking courses, which are always identical. Remember that when something appears to be free, it is because you are the product being marketed! No serious professional gives away their secrets for free on social media; what is offered for free is often something that is truly free. It is information that can be easily found anywhere, simply presented using appealing scripts and scripts.

On the other hand, those who are satisfied with these crumbs and take refuge in the obvious will never excel and will surely find endless excuses not to truly commit themselves. Following a tried and tested script seems easier. If many coaches repeat the same notions, then those notions must be valid, right? In reality, those certainties date back to a way of thinking that is over 50 years old, and the latest research we are still conducting at leading universities has more than proven them to be wrong.

Investing time and money in useless classes only makes you lose confidence in your abilities and in other people because of the lack of results. Real growth, on the other hand, is a never-ending process that is not based on passive imitation, but on awareness and continuous personal expression. The voice is much more than a technical tool: it is the manifestation of your person, your emotions, and your unique way of acting in the world. For this reason, an Inborn Voice course is always tailor-made, authentic, and empathetic, updated with the latest discoveries and far from the noise of fads and pre-packaged formulas.

The Inborn Voice Method is based precisely on this: a personalized and profound journey that helps you build an echo, but an original voice, faithful to your true essence. If you feel that the time has come to invest in your communication and personal growth, don’t waste your time on recycled solutions or those who market trivial results.
