One the most frequent directions I’ve given as a voice coach and director to talent over the last 15 years has been to “shrug it out” - meaning, to bring more conversational flow to the message and to move the way you really move when you speak into a microphone.
After hearing me say this to an actor during a workshop early in my voice coaching career, a wonderful engineer named Ian Boddy joked: “Hey, that would be cool on a T-shirt.”
I’ve never forgotten Ian’s suggestion and the day has finally come. I’ve created a “shrug it out” logo as part of a little early spring re-brand. T-shirts, mugs, business cards, letterhead….decisions, decisions.
