Unannouncer Yourself: Finding Power in Your Real Voice

Written By D'Arcy Webb

What happens when you stop performing your voice—and start living in it?

That’s the heart of the work I’ll be doing as a guest expert in Edward Renninger’s voiceover class, “Unannouncer Yourself” this Saturday, May 10th | 12–3:30 PM EST on Zoom.

I’m honored to be joining Edward and his students once again for a session dedicated to breaking free of the overly polished, overly practiced "announcer voice"—and discovering what it really means to speak like a human.

Ed is a master at getting voiceover artists to dig into their hearts and find their true authentic voice.

As a voice and speech coach with over 25 years of experience, I’ve worked with actors, keynote speakers, executives, and rising leaders who are all wrestling with the same question:

How do I sound more authentic?

Whether you’re on stage, on a Zoom call, or behind a voiceover mic, the most powerful voice isn’t the one that sounds perfect—it’s the one that’s present. It’s embodied. Rooted. Real.

And that’s what I’ll be bringing to this class with Ed—authentic voice training grounded in technique, storytelling, and breath. I’ll be guiding students through exercises to:

  • Free the natural voice

  • Deepen resonance and clarity

  • Release vocal habits that mask authenticity

  • Speak with intention and connection—not performance

Edward Renninger is known for his brilliant approach to voiceover coaching—helping students unlearn the habits that make them sound generic or disconnected. His class is the perfect place to explore the artistry (and bravery) of speaking like yourself, not some version of what you think you should sound like.

If you’re a voiceover artist, public speaker, or someone who simply wants to feel more confident and connected when they speak, this class is a powerful invitation to step into your full vocal presence.

Because your real voice?
It’s enough. It’s powerful.
And it’s time we heard it.

Class size is limited to 11. Interested? Email Ed at edwardrenninger@gmail.com
