How Much Longer Can You Take Your Voice for Granted?
As someone who talks as an important part of your life, you rely on your voice. In fact, if you speak as part of a job - whether in teaching, sales, law, training and development, even patient care - you need to know that you can count on your voice.
Many people who depend on their voices never give voice work a second thought. Unfortunately, you can't count on a voice that you abuse.

For one thing, they cover the long-term care and development of your voice - the work you'll do at home, away from the stress of performing. For another, they also guide you through the what-just-happened, where-do-I-go-now moments when your voice is in the greatest danger of abuse.

- Which destructive habits are vital to un-learn;
- How to increase your awareness of what your voice sounds like;
- Why SOME vocal instruction can be worse than none at all....

In addition, you'll find answers to all these questions:
- How can I be heard in a crowd without straining?
- How can I make character voices without hurting my voice?
- What if I only have one minute to warm up?
- How should I care for my throat while performing?
- When I perform a particular story, my throat hurts. What should I do?
- Do I need to understand vocal anatomy? (The answer may surprise you!)
- How can my voice express powerful emotions?

An Exercise Video for Your Voice
One "secret" of vocal work is to warm up your voice - at least before every performance, and ideally every day. The Voice-Care Toolkit™ makes this easy with its unique "Exercise Video for Your Voice," which leads you through a complete, 30 minute warm-up, complete with exercises for:
- Relaxing habitually tense muscles;
- Breathing from your diaphragm;
- Developing resonance;
- Opening your rib-cage;
- Contracting your diaphragm;
- Aligning your head and neck;
- And more!

How to Develop Your Voice
The second video is a lecture-demonstration about the principles and techniques of voice work for storytellers. It gives the fundamentals of improving vocal production, as well as long-term techniques for reducing habitual muscular tensions, and demonstrations of character voices.
Nothing here is technical. Nothing is about doing things "right." Rather, this video emphasizes getting in touch with the inner experience of your speaking voice - so that your listeners can "hear" your intended emotions, attitudes, and images.
It also answers common questions:
- How to build a character voice without strain,
- How to deal with difficult performance situations,
- How to diagnose problems in expressiveness,
- (And several more).
All of this information is presented in a practical format that will allow you to solve the various vocal problems that telling stories is likely to involve - whether these problems are already present or show up in the coming years.

Can you afford to neglect your voice?
If you knew a great voice teacher - and they ARE out there - you'd pay $50, $100, even $200 or more for a single session. A series of lessons can easily run over a thousand dollars - and leave you with nothing to hold in your hand and refer to. But the Storyteller's Voice-Care Toolkit gives you a permanent reference plus daily warm-ups, answers, and advice - even the "Exercise Video for Your Voice" - all for $119.95 (plus $10 s&h in the U.S.).
If the Storyteller's Voice-Care Toolkit keeps your voice supple and healthy, it's worth the price - many times over. But don't take my word for it; you have nothing to lose. I stand behind this product to assure your satisfaction.
No risk. Money-Back Guarantee!
Think about it. If you pay for a voice lesson and don't like it, you're out the money. But the Storyteller's Voice-Care Toolkit is completely, 100% guaranteed.
Watch the videos. Try out the follow-along warm-up. Listen to the audios. Browse through the booklet. Use the wall poster and pocket warm-up guide to lead you through the exercises. If you are not totally convinced that the Storyteller's Voice-Care Toolkit will strengthen and preserve your voice - and that it will help you solve vocal problems in your storytelling for years to come - just return it for a full refund. How can you lose?
If you are a storyteller, you need to pay attention to your voice. Now you can have a complete multi-media tool-kit for developing and maintaining your most fundamental mode of expression as a storyteller. With the Voice-Care Toolkit you will be prepared to reach out to your listeners vocally with maximum expression and ease - for years and years.
