Highlights from the episode
I am a pharmacist, voice actor, podcast host, wife, mom of 2 teenaged boys, and a volunteer.\xa0
Why did I start a podcast?\xa0 I started The Pharmacist\u2019s Voice Podcast for three reasons: Dr. Erin L. Albert suggested I look into starting a podcast; the podcast works as a branding tool; and the podcast helps me network.
Who is my intended audience?\xa0 Pharmacists, pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians, and voice actors in the medical space.\xa0
What do I want you to do with the information in this podcast?\xa0 The number one thing I want you to do is BE INSPIRED TO USE YOUR VOICE!\xa0 That means, I want you to feel inspired to use your expertise/your passion for something that you feel is worthwhile.\xa0 Please note that I am not the voice of the pharmacy profession.\xa0 This podcast is not about me trying to position myself as the voice of the pharmacy profession.\xa0 I want to inspire people to use their voices.
The 4 main things I struggle with are carrying the conversation all by myself on solo shows (because I\u2019m a reactor, not a generator), finding time to podcast, audio engineering, and voice issues, like muscle tension dysphonia and losing my voice after a cold. \xa0
Coming up in 2022, I will continue to publish one episode/week.\xa0 There will be solo shows and interview shows.\xa0 I plan to do more series, and I hope to participate in NaPodPoMo. \xa0
