Tasia, you are such a superstar!!! I absolutely loved your speech and really felt the empowerment and the emotions towards the end with your passion and love for your mother. She is up in heaven smiling saying, "That is my girl!!!" and is so proud of you. I can tell you really prepared well for this TED Talk and it was great to see your ability to get the people in the crowd and say "I AM COURAGEOUS! I AM CONFIDENT! I AM LIKEABLE AND SO MUCH MORE!" That is so incredibly powerful and not something I have seen before in other Ted Talks. You did such a fantastic job and I am very proud of you!!!! You go, Tasia!!!!!!
This was so inspiring. Tasia's energy and warmth are infectious and I got so much from this. And her voice is incredible to listen to. I'm gonna watch again right now!
We forget how important actually speaking is -- calling, instead of texting or just sending an emoji or GIF. Tasia is passionate about using our voices to truly express ourselves in so many ways. Things that just can not be communicated in a text -- intent, power, feeling.
Very inspirational for any upcoming voice actor and just talking about something that we think is small is actually a much more important tool that we can use in our own life
I commented on this video 2 days ago. My comment is not showing for some reason but great speech Tasia and we are so glad that you are working with us!
This is such an inspiring lesson on communication. I’ve been so fortunate to receive this guidance as a student of Tasia. I’m so happy that after a long time she finally gets to share her wonderful teachings in this capacity and this openly. It truly is moving. I’m so glad all of Tasia’s hard work and determination has made this come to fruition for her. Love you Tasia. -Will Brewster
I have been a fan of Tasia’s since All My Children! And her incredible career as an actor, voiceover actor, writer, and teacher have given her the wisdom and heart to teach us all to “give great voice”. As someone who works in the digital space, I will take it on to step away from the screen and use my voice with intention. Amazing talk Tasia! You are an inspiration!
This completely met and exceeded all expectations Tasia. By the end of it, I was reaching for tissues. Boy, how I can relate to your experience with your mom. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and story with us and for always being an inspiration. Suzy
Thank you so much Suzy! That makes me so happy that it moved you! I so appreciate that you shared with me about your mom. I think we all have a relationship like that we can relate to.
Love the way she speaks and her message is simple, important and powerful. Everyone should listen and we all should remember to Give Great Voice. Love this
What a great message. Be intentional with your words. Say positive affirmations to build your confidence. Connect with those you love - by using your voice.
I absolutely love this talk! Such great pearls of wisdom for VO artist, actors, and everybody everywhere! Thanks Tasia for reminding people they have a voice and to use it to give great voice to others!
Such solid practical wisdom that so many of us have missed! A must see for young adults who want a fighting chance in the job market and successful relationships with other humans.
Too bad RU-vid won’t let us leave voice comments on videos! Such an amazing talk! Should be mandatory viewing for anyone in voice acting and any business owner, along with those who are looking to improve their personal relationships. Thank you for teaching the roles we all play in each other’s lives and how giving great voice is such a major component. You play such an amazing role as a friend and mentor to so many, and we are all so lucky to have you in our lives, giving us the gift of great voice! Xo
Hey met Tasia at Trader Joe’s and she’s the real deal! Incredible person. She impacted me with her talking points on the voice in a really positive way before I even saw this
Incredible TedX talk. Valuable information, and so relevant in a time when the preponderance of text-based communication is eroding the art and subtlety of communication. A must-view for anyone who relies communication in their daily lives, in other words; everyone!
I love this presentation of the many roles that we play. Taking a moment to use the right voice at the right time can be challenging but, as Tasia discusses, it's so worth it!
I was at a conference where the speaker spoke as he walked in to the room. You couldn't see him on stage and didn't know where he was. The impact was incredible as he had the audience looking for him while listening. Completely engaged.
These days, since so much is done by text, it’s great to see advocacy for a true human connection through real, social interaction. Great ted talk. Make sure to share this with someone who could use a lift.
Fantastic demonstration to portray our voice in different situations and visuals. I especially like the 4M’s (Magnificent, Multifaceted, Me, and Map) illustration because we all play different roles throughout our lives.
So true! The human voice communicates so much that the written word doesn't. Use your voice! Talk to people! Stop hiding behind your keypads, people! Pick up the phone and call a loved one to tell them how much they mean to you! This was a wonderful talk, Tasia!
This message is universal! I am very impressed by the way this message was delivered and I have been applying it to my life on the daily. Thank you for reminding us about the power voice has in communication.
Thank you Heather for letting me know that it's applicable in your life! It means so much to me to know that it's making a difference and worth knowing.
What an amazing talk! It taught me so much about communication and how to play the different roles I want to live in my daily life. I'm going to use these new skills in my upcoming interview! Highly recommend
I love this talk!! What wonderful insight and empowering approach to using your voice authentically, but with INTENTION. What do you want? What role are you playing? How can your voice support that? I was super moved by the end of the talk where Tasia talks about her mom --- we all get to be mindful of our words and the tone we use, especially with the people closest to us. I will revisit this over and over :)
WOW. I'M in love with this talk. how we portray ourselves is effected by how we feel about ourselves. this is something that we all need to hear and a quick listen. added to my liked videos and will revisit. can't wait to hear you dish this out in person again!
Inspiring talk with an incredible woman! Since viewing this Ted Talk I have used the SuperHero pose and shared useful information with my colleagues! Very impressed with the roles and voices you use! Congrats!
Not only did your TedX Talk demonstrate a wonderful use of "voice" but it also powerfully illustrated the importance and impact of "body language". One cannot understate the importance of body language in communication. It represents more than 50% and half of that occurs in the face and hands. You nailed it! Thanks Tasia.
Thank you so much, George, I appreciate that you received both the importance of verbal and nonverbal cues for maximizing our meaningful communication.
Wow Tasia! This is fantastic! You are such an inspiration - such a valuable message and lesson. I know that this will inspire so many others as well. Bravo! xo
We are adding this to our presentation team training process. Great advice on how to deliver an impactful message and connect with and understand your audience.
This is our secret super power: the sound of who we truly are. Tasia Valenza gives the skills and the steps to make the magic. Whether to speak love, or negotiate that business deal, or just say what is really inside us. Great talk!
Thank you so much, my friend! You've been there with me from the very beginning of my journey and you have always been such a gift to me, Harvey and the world in the way you "Give great voice!"
She's got a way about her, obviously her voice but her energy and the way she carries herself. She's the sort of mentor we all need in our lives. This talk had all the right bits and pieces for me personally. Loved it.
So incredibly beautiful, Tasia. I have learned so much from you about the power of my voice to communicate with intention and having my needs met. I cried when you talked about talking to your mother. Wow! That hit home. One life. Use your voice wisely! Grateful for all the years of practice and personal development you've invested to be able to deliver this amazing TEDx Talk!
Thank you Joyce. I so appreciate that it moved you and lifted you up at the same time. That was my intention and I'm grateful that it was received by you.
Tasia is an incredible example of what giving great voice in any aspect of your life can do for you. I myself, managed to land a gig as a Voice Actor just from that little tip about putting my hands on my hips. Never be afraid to commit to the character you need to be in order to succeed. ❤❤❤
“Your voice with a loving intention is truly a gift, and you’ll never regret giving it.” What a beautiful message. So much to learn from this Ted Talk that we can apply in our own lives and strive to be better people to those around us!
I've always been a huge fan of TED. Tasia delivered in a huge way here! It's amazing to see her in her element. I got some major takeaways from this and blessed to have her as a personal friend, coach, and mentor. Great work, Tasia!
This is such an inspirational talk. It touched my heart and spoke to me on several levels. Most of the time, we do not speak to ourselves or our loved ones in the way they deserve to. Our voice remains unspoken, and the message is never heard. I love the way Tasia gave the message that we need to give a great voice to our message and let our loved ones know that we care for them because when the moment is gone, it will never come back, and the message will never be conveyed. Thank you for such a great talk, Tasia. You are truly an inspiration.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I'm so delighted that you were so moved by the talk and took what meant the most to me.. the ability to speak with intention... both to ourselves and each other with heart and soul and to not let the moment pass. You give great voice in every way with your beautiful heart, mind and voice.
Easily one of the best ted talks. A lot of truth to what Vasia is saying and I appreciate her mission. Reading her responses to some of the comments here you can tell she has a heart of gold.
Thank you for this wonderfu comment Duncan. It makes the journey all worth while to share my passion and mission to create confidence in our communication and I hope it will help you in you mission.
Wow, Tasia, that was absolutely amazing, very well done indeed. I am as ever in total awe, you give so much inspiration to people, especially to me. I always try and remember what you have said from your 'Giving great voice' videos you post. They have definitely helped me in every day life and also for approaching people to help with my project. It has given me the confidence to talk and speak with confidence about it and from that I have gained some wonderful people to help make the series progress to becoming a possible reality. Thank you so much, I cant wait to see more Giving great voice videos. Please may I also say a huge thank you to you for your kindness and amazing support for my project.
Thank you Damon! I appreciate your thoughtful words and so happy that I've been able to help you to gain more confidence to go for your goals and dreams!
Positively brilliant! So often we don't realise that our tone can come off as disinterested, or distracted - and it really ruins any opportunity for building rapport and even growing within yourself. I do love the idea of listening to the tone and intent of our favourite characters to gain some idea of how to assert ourselves. Such a great talk.
Thank you very much, Roberta, for your feedback. I'm so glad you found value from the talk and enjoyed the novel essence of taking from our favorite characters and actors voice qualities we'd like for ourselves.
I love this Tedx. It is simply stated, clearly articulated and gives GREAT VOICE. This talk is a necessary piece of every relationship. When you know how to communicate what you intend to communicate and the world receives it the way you had hoped they would it elevates the shared experience. Knowing how to communicate, knowing the impact of your tone and your intended message being received is critical to build trust and rapport in life and in business. I enjoyed your talk and highly recommend this to anyone doing client facing business or in the interview process. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review of what you took away from the talk. It means so much to me to know its provided such value for you and for others as well!
Agree with you wholeheartledly. It takes courage to use our voices. I hope this video helps people to utilize the tools to Give great voice and have that courage.
First impressions certainly linger. My mom always taught me to pay a lot of attention to what I am wearing. It helps a lot in life I've found, with you how present on first impressions if you are never caught off guard... But to hear this talk now I see the inflection in my words but be a certain way too!
Yes, People will judge us by how we speak and we have the power to influence how they think about us by how we speak. When we Give great voice we can move touch and impact our audience of one or thousands. Wishing you great success.
I really like what Tasia said about saying it in a loving way, it makes all the difference. We all have superpowers within us and being able to harness that is everything. Thank you for this beautiful and informative ted talk, it was wonderful!
I recently began watching Clone Wars and immediately recognized her voice as soon I heard it. I was like "Is that Sniper Wolf?!" And indeed it was, haha.
It really is amazing how powerful this stuff can be once you're consciously working on using it. Thanks for sharing so many great actionable tips, Tasia!
Thank you, Tasia for giving amazing informations. I've known you since Poison Ivy in Injustice 2. My voice was badly damaged as my voice itself is cold, bland and when I wanna say "I Love You" to my mom, I realized that my voice meant nothing because of my tone. Thank you Tasia
Thank you Solo. I'm so glad you enjoyed the talk and I hope you will use your beautiful warm voice to say you love your mom and have that warm intention come through.
It'll be interesting to see how these younger generations go, growing up in front of screens, communicating through screens, seeing a reality only through filters and photoshop. How many of them are going feel confident, enthusiastic, personable? Few I bet. I feel like this woman should be making videos for schools to use.
I appreciate your feedback and would like to be albe to make videos for kids in schools to help them overcome the obstacles of communicating through the viritual lens. Their voices are not being used enough and need to be supported.
Thank you Zack! I'm grateful you appreciated what it means to give great voice and were entertained at the same time. It's my passion to give people the opportunity to use their voices in a more powerful persuasive way.
This was outstanding! One of the best speeches I’ve seen! It’s absolutely incredible what we can do when we use the wonderful gift of our voice in a positive and powerful way. You inspire me!
I've been trying to get my friends to say mantra's when they wake up for years, it's amazing what giving yourself some positive reinforcement can do. I love the term Confident Candidate. So spot on! What an amazing woman.
How grateful I am to have seen this today, thank you Tasia through you I think I've got the tools I need to start finding my voice. As some one who has nodules I quite often let that discourage me from speaking and singing but I know I have to do the work to get where I need to be.
I'm so happy to hear that Maverick. Your voice matters and deserves to be heard in all it's full glory. I hope you will continue to give great voice and thrive.
This TED Talk came just at the right time for me. I've been having a tough week, and Tasia's talk really reminded me to care for myself and how I can care for others during this really difficult and confusing time. Thank you, Tasia!
I'm so glad you got one of the most important messages of the talk which how important it is to Give Great Voice to ourselves which is an important part of self-care so we have the band with to care for others. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback.
Tasia, this was so inspiring to watch! I appreciate you being so vulnerable and sharing tips that will not only help us voice actors, but also people in everyday life. It is so amazing how much influence our voices can have in personal/professional relationships and even on our mindsets! We all need to speak to ourselves and others more kindly.
Thank you Taylor for capturing the essence of why I created this TEDx talk and it's meaning. To speak to ourselves kindly and compassionately is the most important person we can give great voice to and from there we can give great voice to others!
@@edolieshars Yes, we need each other more than ever and cover has made that very clear how the human voice can bridge the divide and connect us with love and compassion.
My sister tells me that to be female with a great voice can be a trial on its own. I play lots of games that Tasia does voice for and after watching this talk I am in awe of her and her mission. She is doing very good things and I hope that because she is assertive and female that she does not get pigeon holed or something. What she is doing is incredible.
How amazing Tasia 🙂 Using our voice to truly connect and becoming your own voice actor in your life is a game changer and is what we need to keep connected to each other ♥️
Excellent!! Excellent!! From start to finish, this is most definitely a video that you do not want to miss!! I have know Tasia for so many years.... we met as actresses when we both worked at the Soap Opera, "All My Children"...and while we moved on in different directions after that show, I knew that Tasia achieve so much!!

Thank you so much Dee Dee for the kindness and enthusiasm that you bring to everything you do. I so appreciate your belief in what Give Great Voice represents and how we all can achieve it when we focus on what matters most. Love and our relationships.
This was fantastic! It is so important to be present in our own lives and the lives of others. This presentation was more than I thought it would be. Tasia, thank you for what you do.
Thank you for your warm feedback. It's my passion to share this with the world so people can rock their roles and communicate with more passion and presence.
Learning to speak this way, you hear it in advertising, acting etc. In real life I can see how this is especially valuable when wanting to own your message and deliver your words with impact.
Thank you Tasia; the warm, genuine, deep, authentic kind of thank you, not just the text version... you really connect deeply with your talk. Sincerely... Thank You. :)
I'm so glad you found it meaniful Dave. It is my passion to have shared it and it makes me so happy to know that you felt it at a deep level. Our voices have the power to touch move and even heal and we need that more than ever.
Thank you Sandra and to your mum as well. I'm so glad you found value in watching this TEDx talk and the power of your voice. I hope it helps you in every way.
I'm so glad you found it helpful Julian! It is my passion to help people use their voices with clarity and compassion for meaningful conversations and to captivate your audience. I share all the time on Give Great Voice themes with tips and tricks on Clubhouse and my social instagram etc... Feel free to reach out to me there.
Wow. I gave you a standing ovation. You have given me a gift. Thank you for sharing yourself and your knowledge and wisdom. This is more than tips for how to use our voices. You personal story shows how to be a kinder, more understanding human being.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It was my intent to share wisdom in all it's forms... the wins and the losses. It makes me so happy to know you received it as it was meant,
It's been a life long passion of mine to use my voice to move, inspire, and touch people, first as an actress and now as a voice actress, and speaker. This Tedx Talk gave me the opportunity to fulfill a life long love of "Giving Great Voice and be able to teach what that means to all who wish to learn with me. It is an honor and a privilege to share it with you.
Tasia Valenza thank you so much for recommending this my friend. This has helped me earn more confidence; albeit at a slow pace, but I’m okay with that because friends like you keep me going.
@@Xtarlina27 I'm so glad my friend. You are a unique one of a kind individual as we all are and you just keep moving one step at a time! You are growing at your own perfect pace!
Hey Tasia. I commented on this video 2 days ago. My comment is not showing for some reason but I want to say great speech and we are so glad that you are working with us!
Hi Toni, so glad you enjoyed diaphragmatic breathing which is great for speaking, singing and easing stress and anxiety all in one fell swoop. Thank you and I look forward to hearing how you give great voice!
@TasiaValenza as an aspiring voice artist, I want to thank you for this powerful, informative, gratis workshop! I will refer to it often. Beautifully executed 🙏🙏🙏
