Here's some of the ones you might have come across... Storyteller. Teacher. Provocateur. Authority. But if you've ever found yourself feeling slightly \"off\" on stage, even when your content is good, this episode might explain why. In this episode, I'm exploring the pressure, (often at the heart of some speaking coaching systems), to pick and swap styles as you move through your talk. We'll look at why that way of thinking can subtly mask your personality, why some performance advice creates more confusion than clarity, and why the way actors approach a script might be a more useful lens for speakers. This episode isn't about giving you another label. It's about helping you notice what stays consistent, even when everything else in a talk changes. What you'll discover: The hidden pitfalls of rigid speaker archetypes and how they can negatively impact your performance. The subtle way \"presenter mode\" can creep in without you noticing A question most speakers never ask about how they show up on stage A perspective borrowed from acting that might shift how you think about speaking The difference between changing tone and changing who you are Why some talks feel technically solid but emotionally flat Why this conversation matters before you ever think about humour Enjoy!
