I'm still learning how to do this podcasting thing, but I'm trying to share my words anyway. I speak quite quickly in this episode... Sorry! I will try to speak slower next time. 

There's a question for you to answer at the end - in audio or written form - so if you have 10 minutes to listen, and then 5 minutes to answer the question that end -- why not GIVE IT A GO?! (which is another way of saying -  GO FOR IT! DO IT!) You have nothing to lose and lots to gain!

Using your words to speak about things that matter to you - that mean something to you - is a great way to create output and use your English. If you don't want to answer my question - you could try writing freely for 5 minutes. Or you could speak into your phone and talk about how you're doing/feeling today - or what's on your mind. It may feel strange, at first, and that's normal! But over time, speaking or writing - just for yourself - will start to feel good - and it's a WONDERFUL habit to start to build.

Thanks for listening, and see you next time!

🎙️ Introducing “The Voice You Forgot You Had”
By Anatoly Glazkov – Identity Architect for High-Stakes Professionals

Most learners think their struggle is with English.
In reality, it’s with identity.

After years of study, many high-achieving women still feel a quiet dissatisfaction every time they speak — as if their English is fine, but they aren’t.
Their voice sounds smaller than who they really are.

This podcast is about that hidden moment — when confidence collapses not because of grammar, but because of who’s behind the words.

I’m Anatoly, an identity architect for high-stakes professionals.
Over 20,000 sessions taught me one truth:
you don’t need more English; you need to recalibrate the person who uses it.

Each short episode is a cinematic exploration of what happens when you step out of the English performance box and start speaking as your real self.
It’s not language training — it’s psychological tuning.

You’ll hear reflections, guided moments, and stories from people who learned to stop asking “How do I sound?” and start asking “Who is speaking?”

Episode 0 — “The Architect of the Voice”
The story behind my method, Identity Recalibration:
how I help professionals transform anxiety into presence and performance into authenticity.

Listen when you need to reconnect with the part of you that already knows how to speak.
