The Art of Voice: Mastering Natural and Engaging Voiceover Performances

In the world of media, a compelling voiceover can transform good content into something extraordinary. Whether you’re narrating a documentary, performing in an animated feature, recording an audiobook, or creating content for your YouTube channel, the human voice carries remarkable power. A natural, engaging vocal performance can captivate audiences, communicate complex emotions, and bring stories to life in ways that visuals alone simply cannot.

But what separates a merely adequate voiceover from one that truly resonates? How do professional voice actors create performances that feel authentic and engaging rather than stiff and rehearsed? As someone who has spent years both performing and directing voice talent, I’ve discovered that great voiceover work is both an art and a science—a delicate balance of technical skill, emotional intelligence, and creative intuition.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the multifaceted world of voiceover performance. From preparation techniques used by industry veterans to the subtle nuances of vocal delivery that can elevate your performance, we’ll cover everything you need to know to develop a more natural, engaging voiceover style. Whether you’re a beginner looking to break into the field or an experienced voice actor seeking to refine your craft, these insights will help you connect more deeply with your audience and bring your scripts to vibrant life.

Understanding the Foundation: Voice as an Instrument

Before we dive into specific techniques, it’s essential to understand that your voice is an instrument—perhaps the most versatile instrument in existence. Like any musician, you need to understand how your instrument works and how to care for it.

The Physical Mechanism of Voice

Your voice results from a complex coordination between your breathing, vocal folds, and resonating chambers in your head and chest. According to speech pathologist Dr. Ann Utterback, author of Broadcast Voice Handbook, understanding this mechanism is crucial for voice professionals: “The voice is produced when air from the lungs passes through the vocal folds, causing them to vibrate. These vibrations are then shaped by the throat, mouth, and nasal cavities to produce specific sounds.”

This physical understanding is important because it helps you:

Recognize the source of vocal issues
Prevent strain and injury
Develop better control over your instrument
Understand how to modify your vocal quality

Your Unique Vocal Fingerprint

Every human voice is unique—as distinctive as a fingerprint. This uniqueness comes from the specific size and shape of your vocal apparatus, including:

Vocal fold length and thickness
Size and shape of resonating cavities
Muscle tension patterns
Habitual speaking patterns developed over a lifetime

Voice director Andrea Romano, known for her work on animated series like “Batman: The Animated Series” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” emphasizes this point: “The most successful voice actors understand and embrace their natural voice. They know how to play to their unique vocal strengths while still having the versatility to create characters.”

Voice Health and Maintenance

Just as an athlete wouldn’t compete without proper training and care, voice actors must maintain their instrument. Daily vocal health practices recommended by voice coaches include:

Proper hydration (8-10 glasses of water daily)
Vocal warm-ups before recording sessions
Adequate sleep (7-8 hours)
Avoiding vocal strain and excessive throat clearing
Limiting irritants like alcohol, caffeine, and dairy before recording
Steam inhalation to keep vocal folds hydrated

Voice actor Tara Strong, known for countless animated roles including Timmy Turner in “The Fairly OddParents,” follows a strict regimen: “I treat my voice like an Olympic athlete treats their body. Proper warm-ups, hydration, and rest are non-negotiable, especially when I’m recording multiple characters in one day.”

Preparation: The Unsung Hero of Great Voiceover

Many listeners assume that natural-sounding voiceover is spontaneous, but professionals know that thorough preparation is what enables that natural delivery. Let’s explore how to prepare effectively.

Script Analysis: Becoming One With the Text

Before you ever step up to the microphone, you should know your script intimately. Professional voice actor Maurice LaMarche, the voice of Brain from “Pinky and the Brain,” suggests approaching scripts like a method actor: “I read through the entire script at least three times—first for comprehension, second for character, and third for technical challenges like difficult pronunciations or emotional transitions.”

When analyzing your script:

Identify the core message: What’s the primary takeaway for listeners?
Understand the audience: Who will be listening, and what’s their relationship to this content?
Find the emotional journey: Where are the emotional peaks and valleys?
Mark breathing spaces: Where can you naturally pause for breath without disrupting flow?
Note technical requirements: Are there specific words, names, or terms that need research?

Character Development (Even for Non-Fiction)

Even when you’re not explicitly playing a character, your voiceover has a perspective and personality. Ask yourself:

Who is speaking? (Even if it’s “you,” what version of you?)
What’s their relationship to the audience?
What’s their emotional state or attitude toward the subject?
What’s their purpose in speaking?

Veteran audiobook narrator Julia Whelan, who has narrated bestsellers like Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl,” notes: “Every narrator has a point of view, even in non-fiction. Understanding that perspective—whether it’s authoritative, conversational, or intimate—shapes everything about my performance.”

Physical and Mental Preparation

The state of your body and mind directly affects your vocal performance. Before recording sessions:

Get adequate rest and hydration
Do gentle physical stretches to release tension
Practice deep breathing exercises
Use vocal warm-ups to prepare your instrument
Create a pre-recording ritual that centers you

Voice actor Phil LaMarr, known for “Futurama” and “Samurai Jack,” has a simple pre-recording meditation: “I take five minutes of silence, focus on my breathing, and visualize the character or message I’m about to deliver. It clears away the day’s distractions and helps me be present with the script.”

The Technical Elements of Natural-Sounding Voiceover

While emotional connection is crucial, technical proficiency forms the foundation of professional voiceover work. These elements may seem mechanical at first, but with practice, they become second nature.

Microphone Technique and Positioning

The relationship between your voice and the microphone dramatically impacts your recording quality. According to audio engineer George Whittam, founder of Voice Over Studio Tech, “Proper mic technique is often what separates professionals from amateurs.”

Key microphone techniques include:

Distance control: Generally 6-8 inches from a large-diaphragm condenser mic
Off-axis positioning: Speaking slightly off-center to reduce plosives
Level consistency: Maintaining consistent distance throughout recordings
Pop filter usage: Using pop filters or screens to reduce plosives (“p” and “b” sounds)
Monitoring movement: Being aware of how body movements affect sound

Breath Control and Pacing

Nothing ruins the natural flow of voiceover like audible gasping for breath or running out of air mid-sentence. Professional breath control involves:

Diaphragmatic breathing (using your abdomen rather than your chest)
Strategic breath placement in script marking
The “catch breath” technique—quick, silent inhalations
Consistent pacing that respects the content’s natural rhythm
Breath editing awareness (knowing which breaths will be edited out later)

Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, explains her approach: “I’ve trained myself to take quick, silent breaths between lines. But more importantly, I’ve learned to mark my script with breath indicators so I never get caught trying to finish a long sentence without enough air.”

Articulation Without Over-Enunciation

Clear speech is essential, but over-enunciation sounds robotic and unnatural. Finding the balance requires:

Precise consonant formation without exaggeration
Natural vowel sounds appropriate to the content style
Awareness of regional accent influences
Appropriate elision (the natural blending of sounds)
Varying precision based on content needs (commercial vs. narrative, etc.)

Voice coach Vanessa Baker notes: “Many beginners mistake precise articulation for over-pronunciation. Natural speech contains subtle elisions and shortcuts. Listen to how news anchors speak versus how people converse—there’s a sweet spot between the two that sounds professional yet natural.”

The Technical-Emotional Balance

The most successful voice performers master technical elements so thoroughly that they become unconscious, allowing full focus on emotional delivery. This is similar to how experienced drivers don’t consciously think about using the brake pedal—it becomes automatic.

The Emotional Core: Bringing Scripts to Life

While technical proficiency is necessary, the emotional connection is what truly engages listeners. Here’s how to infuse your voiceover with authentic emotion.

Finding the “Why” Behind the Words

Every script has a purpose and emotional subtext. Before recording, ask:

Why does this message matter?
What change should this create in the listener?
What is the emotional subtext beneath the literal words?
How urgent or important is this message?

Voice actor Jennifer Hale, known for her work in video games like “Mass Effect,” approaches scripts this way: “I look for the heart of every line. Even seemingly mundane dialogue has purpose and emotion if you dig deep enough. That’s what separates phoning it in from a performance that connects.”

Visualization Techniques

Creating mental images while recording helps produce more natural vocal reactions. Try:

Visualizing the environment described in the script
Imagining a specific person you’re speaking to (not “an audience”)
Seeing the concepts you’re describing
Picturing emotional reactions from your listener

Audiobook narrator Jim Dale, famous for the “Harry Potter” series, explains: “When I’m recording, I’m not in a studio—I’m in a wizard’s dormitory, or a dark forest, or a bustling magical shopping street. I see it all, and my voice naturally responds to what I’m ‘seeing.'”

Conversational Delivery

Even when reading, your delivery should feel like natural speech. Techniques for achieving this include:

Imagining you’re explaining the concept to a friend
Using natural inflection patterns rather than “announcer voice”
Allowing genuine reactions to content
Embracing imperfections (within reason)
Varying your delivery speed and tone naturally

Voice actor David Kaye suggests: “Record yourself having a genuine conversation, then record yourself reading a script. Listen to the differences in rhythm, pitch variation, and naturalness. Your goal is to make script reading sound like that spontaneous conversation.”

Avoiding Common Voiceover Pitfalls

Even experienced voice actors can fall into certain traps. Being aware of these common issues helps you avoid them.

The “Announcer Voice” Syndrome

Perhaps the most common mistake is slipping into an inauthentic “announcer voice”—that overly formal, projective style that immediately sounds like someone reading rather than talking.

Voice coach Dian Perry explains: “The announcer voice developed in early radio when microphones required projection. Today’s sensitive equipment doesn’t need that style, but it persists as a bad habit.” To avoid this:

Record yourself reading and honestly assess if it sounds like natural speech
Practice speaking “to” someone rather than projecting to a general audience
Focus on meaning over sound
Use conversational language patterns

Monotone Delivery

Vocal variety keeps listeners engaged. Many beginners fall into flat, monotone patterns due to concentration or nervousness. Combat this by:

Marking emphasis points in your script
Practicing pitch variation exercises
Recording short sections and analyzing your vocal variety
Using “pitch mapping” to plan vocal movement

According to voice actor Cissy Jones, winner of a BAFTA award for her performance in “Firewatch”: “I sometimes draw actual line graphs above difficult passages in my scripts to remind myself where my pitch should rise and fall. It looks silly, but it works.”

The Comparison Table: Common Voiceover Pitfalls and Solutions

Pitfall	Common Symptoms	Professional Solution	Implementation Strategy
Announcer Voice	Overly formal tone, unnatural emphasis patterns	Focus on conversational delivery	Record natural conversations to compare with your VO style
Monotone Delivery	Flat emotional affect, limited pitch variation	Develop pitch mapping skills	Mark scripts with pitch direction indicators
Rushed Pacing	Inconsistent speed, lack of appropriate pauses	Breath control and strategic pausing	Mark breath points and emphasize silence importance
Over-enunciation	Exaggerated consonants, unnatural precision	Balance clarity with natural speech patterns	Listen to professional narrators in your genre
Disconnection from Material	Mechanical reading without emotional resonance	Visualization and emotional connection techniques	Imagine specific scenarios related to content
Inconsistent Energy	Fluctuating engagement levels throughout recording	Energy management and proper session planning	Record in shorter segments with consistent energy
Mouth Noise	Excessive clicks, pops, and saliva sounds	Proper hydration and technical preparation	Stay hydrated but avoid dairy before sessions
Character Voice Strain	Voice fatigue when maintaining character voices	Proper vocal technique and health practices	Development of sustainable character voices

Advanced Techniques for Professional Voiceover

Once you’ve mastered the basics, these advanced techniques can elevate your performance further.

Micromodulation: The Subtle Art of Vocal Variety

The most engaging voiceover performances contain micromodulations—subtle variations in tone, pitch, and pacing that keep listeners engaged without calling attention to the technique itself.

Voice actor Laura Bailey, known for critical roles in video games and animation, explains: “It’s about finding those small moments to add texture—a slight pause before an important point, a gentle rise in pitch to convey enthusiasm, or dropping to almost a whisper to draw listeners in. These subtle changes feel natural but dramatically impact engagement.”

Practice micromodulation by:

Recording a paragraph with intentional small variations
Listening to audiobook narrators who excel at this technique
Identifying 3-4 different ways to emphasize important words
Developing awareness of your natural speech patterns

The “Magic” of Silence

Silence is among the most powerful tools in voiceover, yet many beginners rush through scripts without strategic pauses. According to legendary broadcaster Ira Glass from “This American Life,” “The right pause creates anticipation and gives weight to what follows.”

Effective use of silence includes:

Brief pauses before important points
Slightly longer pauses between major sections
“Thinking pauses” that simulate real-time consideration
Emotional pauses that let impactful moments resonate

Voice actor Troy Baker suggests: “I count ‘one-one-thousand’ in my head for emotional beats. It feels excruciatingly long in the booth but sounds perfectly natural to listeners and gives them time to process what they’ve heard.”

The Intimacy of Voiceover

Unlike stage acting, voiceover often creates an intimate, one-to-one relationship with each listener. Many listeners experience the “parasocial effect”—feeling as if the narrator is speaking directly to them personally.

To enhance this intimate quality:

Record as if speaking to one specific person
Position your “imaginary listener” just behind the microphone
Use a conversational tone even for formal content
Allow subtle vocal imperfections that humanize your delivery

Audiobook narrator Emily Woo Zeller describes her approach: “I visualize a single person sitting across from me, leaning in to hear an engaging story. Not an audience—just one attentive listener. That mental image naturally creates the right level of intimacy in my voice.”

Genre-Specific Voiceover Techniques

Different voiceover genres require specialized approaches. Let’s explore techniques for some popular categories.

Commercial Voiceover: Authenticity in Advertising

Commercial voiceover has evolved dramatically from the hard-sell approach of previous decades. Today’s commercials typically require conversational authenticity—sounding like a knowledgeable friend rather than a salesperson.

Voice actor Joe Cipriano, heard on networks like FOX and CBS, notes: “The direction I get most often these days is ‘just make it real.’ Clients want authentic enthusiasm, not manufactured hype.”

For commercial voiceover:

Find the genuine value proposition and connect with it
Use a slightly enhanced version of your natural speaking voice
Match energy level to the brand personality
Consider the visual elements your voice will accompany
Perfect the “smile in your voice” technique for upbeat content

Narration and Documentaries: Authoritative Without Condescension

Documentary narration requires balancing authority with accessibility. Voice actor Peter Coyote, known for narrating numerous Ken Burns documentaries, suggests: “The key is to become the voice of the subject, not the voice of authority lecturing about the subject.”

For documentary narration:

Develop genuine interest in the subject matter through research
Maintain consistent pacing appropriate to content density
Allow your natural curiosity to infuse your reading
Vary formality based on the documentary style
Balance objectivity with appropriate emotional coloring

Character Voiceover: Sustainability and Believability

Voice acting for animation and games requires creating distinctive character voices that can be maintained consistently, often for years. Voice actor Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants since 1999, advises: “Don’t create voices that strain your instrument. The best character voices come from a place of physical ease, just in a different part of your natural vocal range.”

For character voiceover:

Develop voices based on sustainable adjustments to your natural voice
Create a “character voice map” noting specific technical adjustments
Practice character consistency through different emotional states
Record reference samples for long-term projects
Allow characters to evolve naturally over time

Audiobook Narration: The Marathon of Voiceover

Audiobook narration is often considered the most demanding voiceover genre, requiring sustained performance over many hours while maintaining character distinction and narrative engagement.

Award-winning narrator Scott Brick shares: “Audiobook narration is a marathon, not a sprint. I approach each book as a long-term relationship with both the text and the listener, pacing myself emotionally and physically.”

For audiobook narration:

Develop exceptional stamina through gradual practice
Create sustainable character voices for multiple-character dialogues
Master the “narrator voice” that frames the story
Perfect the “backtrack and patch” technique for corrections
Balance consistency with natural variation across sessions

The Technical Environment: Setting Yourself Up for Success

Your recording environment significantly impacts your performance. Creating optimal conditions helps you focus entirely on your delivery.

Creating a Home Studio Space

While professional studios offer ideal conditions, many voice actors now work from home studios. Audio engineer George Whittam suggests these essentials:

Acoustic treatment (not just soundproofing)
Consistent microphone positioning
Comfortable standing or sitting position
Good lighting for script reading
Minimal external distractions
Proper monitor setup for direction/feedback

Voice actor Crispin Freeman, who records from his home studio, advises: “Invest in making your space as professional as possible. When you’re not fighting technical issues, you’re free to focus completely on performance.”

The Right Equipment: Necessities vs. Luxuries

While gear cannot replace talent, appropriate equipment facilitates better performances. Essential components include:

A quality condenser microphone appropriate for your voice
An audio interface with clean preamps
Closed-back headphones for monitoring
A stable microphone stand and pop filter
Recording software you’re comfortable using
Basic acoustic treatment for your recording space

Voice actor Tara Platt suggests: “Start with the best you can afford of the essentials rather than buying many mediocre pieces. A single great microphone that complements your voice is worth more than a drawer full of average equipment.”

Directing Yourself: The Self-Direction Challenge

Many voiceover jobs now require self-direction. Developing this skill involves:

Recording multiple takes with different approaches
Critically evaluating your own performance
Understanding what clients typically seek
Developing a “director’s ear” for your work
Creating a pre-session checklist for consistency

Voice director Andrea Romano suggests: “Before submitting self-directed work, ask yourself: ‘If I were the client, would this fulfill my needs?’ Be brutally honest with yourself, and always provide options.”

The Business Side: Professional Practices

Even the most talented voice actors need professional business practices to succeed in the industry.

Auditioning Effectively

Casting directors often make decisions within seconds. To make auditions count:

Follow directions exactly as provided
Provide clear slate information when requested
Show versatility within appropriate range
Avoid distracting technical issues
Submit promptly within deadlines

Voice casting director Cristina Milizia notes: “I often know within the first 5-10 seconds if a voice actor is right for the role. What makes an audition stand out is the perfect balance of following directions while bringing something unique to the character.”

Taking Direction Gracefully

The ability to take direction well is often as valued as raw talent. This involves:

Listening completely before responding
Implementing adjustments quickly
Maintaining performance quality through multiple takes
Not taking direction personally
Offering alternatives when appropriate

Voice actor Phil LaMarr shares: “Sometimes inexperienced actors defend their choices instead of simply making the adjustment. Remember, the client or director has a vision—your job is to help realize it, not convince them your way is better.”

Continuous Improvement: The Learning Mindset

The voiceover industry evolves constantly, requiring ongoing skill development. Professional growth strategies include:

Regular coaching sessions with reputable coaches
Peer feedback groups for honest assessment
Studying performances you admire
Recording and critically analyzing your work
Following industry developments and trends

Voiceover coach Pat Fraley, who has taught thousands of voice actors, suggests: “Record yourself monthly performing the same script. After a year, listen to all twelve recordings in sequence. The improvement will be undeniable and motivating.”

FAQ: Common Questions About Voiceover Performance

How do I find my “signature voice” for voiceover work?

Finding your signature voice is less about invention and more about revelation—discovering your most authentic, sustainable vocal performance. Start by recording yourself in natural conversations with friends, then study those recordings for your natural patterns of speech, emphasis, and expression.

Voice actor Rob Paulsen, known for roles like Yakko Warner in “Animaniacs,” suggests: “Your signature voice is already there—it’s the voice that emerges when you’re completely comfortable and engaged with a subject you care about. The trick is learning to access that natural voice when facing a microphone.”

Professional voice coaches often use exercises to help identify your vocal strengths and unique qualities. These might include:

Reading various text types to discover where you sound most natural
Recording improvisational responses to prompts
Analyzing feedback from objective listeners about your vocal qualities
Experimenting with slight adjustments to your natural voice

Remember that your signature voice will evolve throughout your career as you gain experience and confidence.

How can I overcome nervousness during recording sessions?

Recording anxiety is common even among experienced professionals. Voice actor Matthew Mercer, known for “Critical Role” and numerous video game performances, admits: “I still get nervous before important sessions. The difference is that I’ve developed routines that help me channel that energy productively.”

Effective strategies include:

Preparation: Thoroughly knowing your script eliminates one major source of anxiety
Physical techniques: Deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation
Visualization: Mentally rehearsing successful sessions
Warm-up routines: Establishing consistent pre-recording rituals
Reframing: Viewing nervousness as performance energy

Also valuable is the “first take mentality”—recognizing that your first take often has natural energy that can be lost in overthinking. Many directors prefer slightly imperfect but authentic first takes to technically perfect but sterile later attempts.

How much should I practice voiceover skills?

Consistent practice is essential, but quality matters more than quantity. Voice actor Dee Bradley Baker, known for his creature and animal vocalizations, recommends: “Twenty minutes of focused, intentional practice daily is worth more than hours of unfocused reading.”

Effective practice strategies include:

Short, regular sessions rather than occasional marathons
Recording and critically reviewing your work
Focused exercises targeting specific skills
Reading varied material aloud (news, fiction, technical content)
Voice and speech drills addressing your specific challenges

Most importantly, incorporate deliberate practice—identified by psychologist K. Anders Ericsson as practice specifically designed to improve performance, with clear goals and feedback mechanisms.

How can I protect my voice during long recording sessions?

Voice sustainability is crucial for professional voice actors. Medical voice specialist Dr. Reena Gupta, who treats many professional voice users, recommends these practices:

Hydration: Drink room-temperature water consistently throughout sessions
Vocal rest: Schedule brief vocal rest periods every 30-45 minutes
Warm-ups/cool-downs: Treat your voice like athletic equipment
Proper technique: Using diaphragmatic support rather than throat strain
Steam inhalation: Before and after lengthy sessions
Avoiding vocal irritants: Limiting caffeine, alcohol, and dairy before sessions
Sleep: Ensuring adequate rest for vocal recovery

Voice actor Cam Clarke advises: “Learn to recognize the early warning signs of vocal fatigue—subtle changes in timbre or slight throat discomfort. Addressing these immediately prevents more serious issues that could sideline you for days.”

How do I create different character voices sustainably?

Creating distinctive character voices that don’t strain your vocal instrument requires understanding the components of vocal variation. Voice actor Cree Summer, known for numerous animated roles, explains: “Sustainable character voices come from adjusting a few specific variables rather than forcing unnatural sounds.”

These variables include:

Pitch: Where your voice sits in your range
Placement: Where the sound resonates (nasal, throat, chest)
Rhythm: Speech patterns and pacing
Tension points: Selective tension in specific areas while keeping others relaxed
Dialect/accent: Subtle sound changes based on regional patterns

Voice actor Mark Hamill, famous as the Joker in Batman animations, developed his sustainable approach through experimentation: “I found I could create the Joker’s distinctive sound by focusing on a specific kind of laugh and building the character voice around that cornerstone.”

For sustainable character work, maintain a “character voice journal” documenting the specific adjustments for each voice, ensuring consistency across sessions without strain.

How different should my commercial demo be from my narration or character demo?

Industry consensus suggests maintaining separate, specialized demos for different voiceover genres. Talent agent Atlas Talent explains: “Each demo should be purpose-built to showcase your specific strengths in that genre. Casting directors often listen for just 5-10 seconds—your demo needs to immediately demonstrate relevance to their project.”

Key differences between demo types:

Commercial demos: Typically 60-90 seconds total, with multiple short spots showing range and brand suitability
Narration demos: Usually 90-120 seconds, demonstrating storytelling ability, authority, and engagement
Character demos: Often 60-90 seconds featuring distinct character voices in context
Audiobook demos: Typically 2-3 minutes showcasing narrative flow and character distinction

Voice casting director Mary Lynn Wissner advises: “Better to have one excellent, professionally produced demo in your primary specialty than several mediocre demos across multiple genres. Start with your strongest category, then expand as your career develops.”

Conclusion: The Journey to Voiceover Mastery

Developing a natural, engaging voiceover style is a continuous journey rather than a destination. The most successful voice actors never stop refining their craft, exploring new techniques, and adapting to industry evolution.

What makes this journey worthwhile is the unique impact of the human voice. As voice director Ginny McSwain puts it: “The voice bypasses intellectual barriers and connects directly to human emotion. When you master voiceover, you’re not just recording words—you’re creating experiences that resonate deeply with listeners.”

The foundations we’ve explored—from technical skills to emotional connection, from preparation to performance—provide a roadmap for your development. But the most important qualities for voiceover success remain curiosity, persistence, and authenticity.

Remember that your unique voice, with all its distinctive qualities, is your greatest asset. The goal isn’t perfection but connection—creating performances that feel natural, engaging, and genuine. As you continue developing your voiceover skills, focus not just on how you sound, but on how effectively you communicate and connect with your audience.

The world needs authentic voices now more than ever. By developing your natural voiceover style, you contribute something valuable that only you can offer—the unique power of your voice, bringing stories and messages to life in a way that truly resonates.
