Description

When you’re recording a podcast you need to think about your audience as individual people, rather than a collective, if you want to connect with them

In this episode, I explain why this is one of the most powerful ways to build connection, sound more natural and keep people coming back for more.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why using collective language e.g. "You guys," "Ladies and Gentlemen" can disconnect you from your audience
  • The words you need to use to make sure your audience feel you're speaking directly to them
  • A simple trick to make solo recording feel more natural
  • How to balance audience connection in solo vs. co-hosted shows
