My 7-minute talk on Social Enterprise (in my Kermit the frog voice)

So I did it. I gave an entire talk using my Kermit-the-frog-with-a-hint-of-Chinese voice. It was a complete new audience, so no one really knew that it wasn’t my real voice.

kermit the frog social enterprise talkJust kidding. I don’t think I have the guts to do something like that. It was the recording that my voice sound weird. I know, everything thinks their voice sounds weird when they hear themselves, but this time  it is especially weird. I don’t normally sound like this… do it?

Anyways, last month I had the privilege of speaking at Networking with Purpose, a networking event with the mission of bringing an end to homelessness in Vancouver. There were 7 speakers that evening, each with a time limit of 7 minutes to share about one topic. My topic was Social Enterprise, something that I’ve become very passionate about.

Here’s the talk:

    My friend says the reason I sound like Kermit the frog (that is NOT my normal voice) is because the bass was removed in my voice, either in the audio mixer or in post-production or when they processed the video clip. It’s good to know!
