Roger Love is Hollywood's go-to guy.

It's fair to say that there is no voice coach in history that has been more successful than he has. Not only has he brought his expert vocal techniques and voice coaching skills to performers, but he has also trained top corporate executives and entrepreneurs. On top of all of that, he's also a best-selling author.

When I was younger I was extremely shy and lacking in self-confidence. I didn't have a voice, nor did I know how to find it. Unfortunately, this meant that I didn't know how to communicate with anyone.

I first came across Roger Love's work through Tony Robbins' Get The Edge program when I was 19 years old. I purchased Roger's Set Your Voice program and I started to practice vocal exercises every single day. After a lot of hard work, I was able to overcome my fear of public speaking.

I think we can all agree that being able to effectively communicate with others is critical to success in life. Study after study shows that effective communicators have longer marriages, deeper friendships, better relationships, make more money, and are generally happier than their less articulate counterparts.

Here is a sneak peek of my interview with Roger, where we talk about how you can find and master your voice.

How did you become the #1 vocal coach in the world?

That has a good ring to it, doesn't it? I can't fit all of that on a license plate, but maybe around the rim. When I was 16 years old, my voice teacher went away to Canada to teach a masterclass. There was no one to take over the studio. He said, “Hey Roger, do you want to come over and teach a few lessons?”

I said, “Well, that sounds great. Although I am a good student, I don't think that I can teach.” He told me that he would pay me $100 per hour. I said, “I can't wait to be there.”

I showed up on my first day not knowing how to actually teach.

My first lesson was with Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. I then went on to teach Earth, Wind and Fire, The Jacksons, and Stevie Wonder. All these amazing supergroups. Six months later when he came back all of his students wanted to keep working with me.

I realized that I had a way of listening to the sounds that were coming out of people's mouths, and then making them better. Since then, I've spent my life working with singers and eventually speakers. My work is designed to teach people how to open up their mouths and make incredible sounds so that they can create the life that they want.

What are some of the biggest mistakes that you notice people make when they speak? What can they do to improve their speaking voice?

Those of you who are reading this right now probably think that you were born with the voice that you have. We were all born with an instrument, but we didn't learn how to use it. However old you are right now, you can decide how you want to sound.

You can take the voice that you were born with and polish it up.

The biggest mistake is thinking that the sounds that are coming out of your mouth are the only sounds that you can make. That's just like saying that somebody gave me a piano but only one note is tuned.

Can you talk a little bit about the importance of breathing?

Most people breathe with their mouths open. This is called accessory breathing and is the way to get the least amount of air into the lungs. If you want to sound great and have an amazing voice, you have to control how air comes out.

You should be closing your lips and breathing in through your nose. From there, you want to pretend that you have a balloon in your tummy, and then speak while your stomach is coming back in. This is called diaphragmatic breathing. When you do this, you have more volume, melody, and tone. You sound stronger and more self-confident.

What makes a voice attractive?

An attractive voice is one that moves people emotionally. When we speak, we are supposed to showcase our emotions, and then we are supposed to make other people feel those exact emotions. Unfortunately, a lot of people do things that get in the way of this.

If you only speak with one note, otherwise known as monotone, you are going to bore the heck out of people.

This means that you aren't showing any changes in your emotions, which is reflected in your pitch, volume, pace, melody, and/or tone. I believe that we were all born singing. However, at some point, we took the music out and are left sounding flat. My job is to put the music back into people's speaking voices so that they sound emotional. Doing so allows them to bring out the emotions of those that they speak to.

After working with all of these incredible people, what are some of the common factors that you've noticed that make them great performers?

The first thing to realize is that almost every great performer is an introvert. They are just as scared as everyone else about getting up and speaking or singing in front of the public. I would say 99.7% of all of the most famous people that I've worked with are introverts.

They get into acting because they are shy. Acting allows them to pretend that they are other characters. I think that it's fantastic to be an introvert. They are the most creative and imaginative people in this world. However, you have to be able to find a switch somehow. By doing this, you at least get sound out in a way that moves people emotionally.

Are there certain rituals that these people engage in that allow them to put on their best performance?

The common variable amongst all of them is practice. Most people don't sound great because they haven't practiced being great. They haven't learned the right techniques. My techniques are simple. Get rid of some pressure, change the way you breathe, and then practice a lot. When you do that, the rest falls into place.

Bradley Cooper came to my studio at 7:30 every single morning, 5 days per week for months.

This is after he had already driven 30 miles from where he lived after working out for 90 minutes. He was never late. The greatest performers and speakers work hard at what they are passionate about. The joy of what happens on the other end is so worth it.

Do you mind sharing a little bit about some of the exercises that you give to people to help them improve their voice?

People need a daily vocal warmup practice. This is why I created what I call “The Vocal Warmups.” These are exercises that you can practice for a few minutes every day, a few times per week. These exercises will change the way that you take air in and out of your body and change the way that your vocal cords work. People will start listening to you, hiring you for jobs, and wanting to go out with you. All you did is change the way that you sounded.

Can you share with people a little bit about your program, “The Perfect Voice?”

The absolute best way to get your voice from where it is to where it needs to be is to go through my Perfect Voice collection program. Doing so will allow you to have better communication, influence, and overall quality of life. I have spent years trying to figure out what is the greatest information that I can give you in the shortest period of time so that you are learning exactly what you need to know.

It will allow you to speak better the very day that you learn about it!

The Perfect Voice includes all of the secrets that I teach to famous celebrities. I've packaged it into something that you can use to make a better life for yourself. It's super affordable so there is no excuse not to get it. Your life will change because your voice will change.

Are you ready for a voice makeover?

I highly recommend that you check out Roger's program. My personal life and my work have benefitted from it in so many ways. Finding and mastering your voice has the power to change your life. I believe in Roger's work so much that I have recently hired him to be my personal vocal coach. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

When you find your voice, your entire world opens up. In the words of Stephen Covey, “Once you've found your own voice, the choice to expand your influence, to increase your contribution, is the choice to inspire others to find their voice.”
