Summary

If you’ve ever cringed at the sound of your own voice or struggled to hold attention in a room, this episode will change the way you speak and how others respond to you. You’ll discover how vocal tone, breath, and emotion act as biological levers you can train to improve your health, extend your longevity, and build magnetic charisma.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Roger Love, the celebrity voice coach who trained Bradley Cooper, Tony Robbins, Selena Gomez, and Brendon Burchard. Roger has spent decades teaching actors, executives, and performers how to master their voice to create influence and impact. In this conversation, he shares the science behind vocal tone and the emotional cues hidden in your breath.

You’ll hear why most people speak from the wrong part of the body and how that drains power from every interaction. You’ll learn how digital habits dull your voice, which techniques make you sound more confident and trustworthy, and why sound can heal the nervous system. Dave and Roger also explore how voice training supports your biology, boosts emotional control, and protects your performance as you age.

This episode gives you tools to speak with more authority, connect on a deeper level, and improve your health through one of your most underused systems: your voice. If you want to lead, perform, persuade, or simply feel heard, this conversation shows you how to upgrade the way you sound—and how you feel when you speak.

You’ll learn:

• Why most people speak from the wrong part of their body

• How your voice shapes the way others feel about you

• The link between vocal tone, breathing, and nervous system health

• How to sound more confident, persuasive, and emotionally resonant

• Why digital habits are weakening your communication

• How to train your voice as a powerful analog biohack for longevity
