Disrupting Voice Stereotypes and Accents with Hadar Shemesh - Episode 22
I first heard of Hadar Shemesh going down the rabbit hole of looking for new podcasts to listen to and her Influency Podcast caught my eye - or ears in this case. Her passion to have her listeners own their voice was very much aligned with mine and I kept hearing myself say, yes, yes! Agreeing with her content and how her words were very similar to my own passion and values of empower women's voices and creating a diverse voice in podcasting. So I had to reach out and I am so glad that she decided to come on the show!
Hadar is an Israeli entrepreneur who helps non-native speakers of English find clarity and freedom in English. She is committed to dismantling the notion that English belongs to native speakers with a standard accent and shares her work on her YouTube channel Accent’s Way English with Hadar and her podcast which I mentioned earlier - the InFluency Podcast.
Today we chat about owning your voice (with a non-standard accent), impostor syndrome, showing up publicly (whether on a podcast or video) when English is not your first langauge, the lack of diverse voices and the impact it has on how we perceive our own voices.
Hadar is so inspiring and I know you are going to find a lot of great insight from listening to this episode. So let's get started!
