Over the last 30 years, Tracy Goodwin has had the honor of transforming the lives of hundreds of 7 figure entrepreneurs, executives, business professionals, and celebrities simply by shifting sounds that are sending the wrong message out of their voice. Tracy’s interest in how voices are subconsciously perceived and the effect that can have on a person’s life and success started when she was a child. She was raised in a family where children were to be seen and not heard. She wasn’t really allowed to speak. But, in spite of that, she started winning speaking awards when she was 12 years old.

It was that moment that set the real stage for the work she does today, Psychology of the Voice. The Psychology of the Voice transforms her client’s voices an
