Voice Is a Superpower (and It Changes Fast) | TEDx Speaker Elia Nichols

Описание: In this episode, Makaeel sits down with Elia Nichols, an American-born, Italy-based public speaking & communication coach, TEDx and keynote speaker, and actress, for a casual but deep conversation on voice, presence, confidence, and identity.

You’ll hear:

• Why tone + body language land before words do

• How Elia lost her voice at 19, and why it changed how she sees communication forever

• Why the voice is one of the fastest things to change, compared to body language

• The “three voices” (chest / throat / head) and how stress shifts your register

• How culture shapes conversation (including why “interrupting” can be connection, not rudeness)

• Accent, code-switching, and why adapting your voice doesn’t have to mean losing your identity

• The real path to confidence: from “blissfully unaware” → “affected behavior” → “natural behavior”

• Simple practical tools: eliminating fillers, using pauses, and the “leader stance”

This conversation is for anyone who wants to sound more grounded, clear, and confident, without performing a fake version of themselves.
