Jenni Steck | Voice Coach & Speech Pathologist

I'm Jenni Steck, a speech-language pathologist and voice coach. This channel is about helping you sound your best.

I trained as an actor and taught voice to performers. Then I went back to school for communication disorders and spent years treating voice patients at UT Southwestern's Center for Vocal Health. Most coaches come from one of those worlds. I work from both, which means I can tell you why something isn't working, not just that it isn't.

For ten years I've coached anchors and reporters at CNN, ESPN, CBS, NBC, and ABC.

This channel is home to Speaking of Talking, my podcast with laryngologists, broadcasters, and coaches about how people actually use their voices. Short exercise videos on breath, jaw tension, and vocal fatigue are on the way.

I am not going to give you an anchorman voice. Forcing your voice into a register that isn't yours builds tension and costs you the instrument.
