So yes, daniel Irby, I am asinger, speaker, author and a
coach, and an Army veteran of 13years.
I've been commanding stages asa world-class stage performer
and elite communications coach.
I've been captivating audiencesof up to 25,000 people,
(01:43):
performing for US, us presidentsand global dignitaries.
And after my military service,I decided that I wanted to give
back.
And who better to give backthan the entrepreneur and the
business community, as well asexecutives and CEOs, to master
(02:04):
the art of stage presence andthe voice?
So, whether you're stoppingonto a conference stage
delivering a keynote or leadinga board room, I'll empower you

Yes, yes, thank you, Daniel.
So all of you that are watchingand listening, you already know
that he just gave you somenuggets.
So I always tell the audiencetake out your pens, take out
your nose.
We're going to give you realpractical things.
Oftentimes on podcasts, you geta lot of things that may be
academic.
We're going to be real.
We're pretty transparent.
We ask real fun questions.
We have a good time, and sothank you for your service.
(02:51):
We have it in common I'm aveteran of the army as well 21
years of service.
Thank you for your service andthank you for giving back to the
entrepreneur community and I'mexcited to listen to.
So, owning the stage there's abook called Own the Room, and I
tell people all the time like wedrop things that you can use.
So there's a book called Ownthe Room.
So Daniel's going to talk aboutowning the stage, and so tell
(03:14):
me, daniel, as we get started,what made you go into the
business of wanting people, orwanting to help people, own
stages or rooms and bephenomenal at speaking.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I just felt like it was my opportunity to give back.
Which community could I giveback that was really going to
impact and influence a wide massof people?
And I felt it was theentrepreneur, the business owner
, the communicator and theleader space.
And it's not necessarily aboutwhat you say, but it's how you
(03:48):
say it and how.
As a professional singer andstage performer, I've mastered
the art of influence from thestage.
I've mastered the art of usingtone inflection, of using tone
inflection, phrasing, bodylanguage, the face, the voice,
to be able to allow the audienceto really experience and feel,
(04:12):
so ultimately, they'll say yes,so Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So what I'm listening to, I wanna unpack for a second
.
When did you pick up on the?
Because we talk aboutcommunication all the time and
we talk about between one youand another, another person but
you're communicating tothousands of people.
When did you realize like allthe components that you just
mentioned are important for youto make a connection?
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
my connections has been on the stage in front of
thousands and thousands ofpeople as a singer and stage
performer, but I just felt likeit was so important and so vital
to be able to give back to theentrepreneurial space in how to
communicate a message toinfluence and impact.
(04:58):
This is what I want to be doingnow for the rest of my career.
Doing now for the rest of mycareer is showing up, impacting
and influencing a massiveaudience using the skills that
I've learned about how tocommunicate in a way that's so
(05:19):
confident, so collected, so cooland so concise that you can
share your message, drive peopleto your environment and bring
people in, because ultimately,it's about sharing knowledge,
information, but you do so in away that's just so compelling
(05:39):
and captivating.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Wow, wow, so you're a professional speaker, singer,
you've been on stages.
Do you still get nervous?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I mean, I think it would be false to say that I
don't get nervous.
I don't think we would be humanif we didn't get nervous.
But it's how you handle thosenerves, all right.
So I I believe in systems, Ibelieve in routines.
I believe in systems, I believein routines and I have a same
system, same routine I use everysingle time I'm taking the
(06:08):
stage, whether it's for 10people or 25,000 people, and
it's how to be able to, for me,connect my mindset, my body and
my breath in one alignment.
And when I'm in that place,that mode of confidence and
authenticity, I'm able just togo onto the stage and just and
perform at the highest level.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Wow, so you drove through that real fast, Daniel.
I got to slow it down andunpack it for our audience.
You gave them three things realquick.
I caught it, but I'm a speaker,so I get it.
Can you walk through those?
I mean, you said as long aswhen I step on stage there's
three things you do.
Can you slow that down andunpack it a little bit, Because
I know people like wait, he didthat quick, I missed it.
Well, can you slow down?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, absolutely so.
Mindset, putting yourself intoa place of power.
So there are many, many placesthat people feel they're most
powerful, they're mostcomfortable.
It could be the trails you loveto run, in, the kitchen you
(07:12):
love to cook in or, for some,the boardroom, where you love to
lead.
And what I recommend is puttingyour mind in that place of
comfort, of safe, place, ofrefuge, before you take the
stage, before you take thecamera, and visualize that.
(07:33):
Visualize yourself getting onthat platform and commanding and
performing at the highest levelbecause you're tricking your
mind, and performing at thehighest level because you're
tricking your mind.
If your mind visualized youdoing that, when you actually
get on stage, you've alreadybeen there, You've already done
(07:54):
that and you're in a place ofcomfort, of refuge and in
complete control.
So that's what I mean by themindset when I talk about the
body.
As a speaker, as a singer, as aperformer, your body is your
(08:15):
instrument.
So how to understand theposture, your spinal alignment,
how your physiology works andincorporating that into just an
ease of vocal production.
And then the breath discoveringhow your particular breathing
(08:36):
mechanism works, differencebetween shallow and grounded
breathing, the deep breathing,the diaphragmatic breathing.
This not only just helps youhave composure and confidence,
but this also then allows you touse your breath in such an
(08:58):
energetic and powerful way thatbreath fuels the voice, it gives
you energy and that ultimatelywill give you confidence when
you get on that stage.
So aligning the mindset, thebody and the breath.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Thank you for unpacking that.
I love it because people listenand they'll take notes.
How do I get better If all youthat are listening, most of my
speakers, will give you tipsthroughout the entire podcast.
They just share things.
That's very helpful.
That's why I love to call itUnpacked.
Is you get to have realdialogue Can you think of?
(09:33):
You've been in it for a while?
When did you realize that youhave mastered it?
What were the things that madeyou realize I'm really good at
this?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
As far as the performing and the singing, you
know that's a lifelong process.
But you know, when I startedwinning auditions and I started
beating out thousands of people,I felt like there was something
that was putting myself above alot of the rest.
But it's interesting because Ialways felt myself as an
(10:04):
underdog.
I was not always the bestsinger, I was not always the
best performer, I was not alwaysthe best music student, but
what I could do is I couldcommand the stage.
Every single time I took thestage, I used that as my refuge.
That came from when I was ayoung child and I just felt the
(10:27):
most comfortable on stage.
So, um, after my, uh, mymilitary career, my performing
career and I still am performingbut I decided I want to give
back.
Um, it's my time to be able tocoach, show people how I've
(10:47):
mastered the art of commandingthe stage.
And now I'm not saying that Idon't get nervous, because I do.
But getting up in front of athousand people, five thousand
people, ten thousand people,even twenty five thousand people
, 10,000 people, even 25,000people, as I did last year at
the Republican NationalConvention, on stage with a
(11:09):
worldwide audience of millions,I had the most peace I've ever
had and because I've nowmastered that art of that
connection mindset, body, breathand showing up in a way that's
so authentic and you're so inyour calling that you can't
think of anything not to do butthis Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Wow.
How do you thank you forsharing?
How do you tie back the workthat you're doing, the coaching
that you're doing, to being onstage?
Where is the connection forpeople that are in the
leadership roles of learning howto command, whether it's, like
you said, a boardroom, whetherit's a team meeting, whether
it's 25,000 people?
How do you tie leadership tothe work that you're doing?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Every single time you show up and you and you talk,
there needs to be a reason and avalue driven behind that.
If not, you're just talking,and so that's the difference
between the talkers and thespeakers the speakers that show
up in a commanding presence.
(12:16):
So, whether you're an executive, a CEO, an entrepreneur, a
business owner, every time youspeak you're leading people into
your environment, whether it'syour coaching program, whether
it's the business, whether it'syou're a salesperson, and
inviting them to your service oryour product.
(12:38):
Because if you're not showingup and you're not A providing
value but B be inviting theminto your environment, then
you're just talking.
And so it's very, veryimportant for speakers,
entrepreneurs, communicators tounderstand that you show up,
(13:00):
driving value, allowing youraudience to understand that you
are the authority.
Your big idea is you areproviding all of this insight,
rich solutions.
Whatever your framework is,whatever your aha moment is,
that's how you want to invitepeople in, and I've got a whole
(13:25):
system and I've got a wholeframework that I use with my
coaching clients, um called thevoice framework.
We can go into that a littlelater if you'd like, but it's
about how to utilize your voice,utilize storytelling, um
influence through the, how tocreate buy-in with your audience
through interaction with youraudience, commanding with your
(13:49):
voice, your presence, your body,inflection and tone, and then,
ultimately, how to effortlesslyenroll every single time you get
on the stage, leaving youraudience wanting more and
wanting to know how to connectwith you and what's the next
(14:10):
steps to be able to connect.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, I'm glad you brought up your framework.
You know, without giving awayall the answers to it, you know
what would you share with usabout the framework?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, so I what I just did is I just quickly ran
through it, but it's my voiceframework.
And then I start with themindset, body, breath.
So every single time you takethe stage, aligning that mindset
and that body and that breath,unlocking your authentic voice,
and then, like a singer does,playing the voice like an
(14:42):
instrument.
So, with, with the voiceframework, the V that stands for
value-driven content, that'sclarifying your big idea,
creating that talk that justdelivers transformation and
creates these immediate ahamoments.
That sets you up as theauthority.
And then the O optimizing thestorytelling.
People learn from the authority.
(15:02):
And then the oh optimizing thestorytelling.
You know people learn from thestories and not just the facts.
That's how you can actually getyour audience to feel, because
people love stories and they canrelate and you ultimately want
to be able to take your audienceon your journey through your
(15:25):
story.
And I influence, through theinteraction.
So that's learning how toinvolve your audience, keeping
their attention, building trust,using call and response,
(15:51):
bringing the audience into yourown environment and keeping them
active throughout your talk.
And the C confident deliveryinstrument this voice, through
tone, through pacing, throughpausing, through articulation,
through volume, aligning thatvoice and that message up and E,
(16:16):
the most important effortlessenrollment, structuring that
offer in a way it just feelsnatural, not pushy, not salesy.
Right, you want to lead youraudience into transformation,
(16:37):
innovation and, ultimately, aconversation with trust,
credibility it's that know likeand trust factor.
And you want your audiencewanting more.
This is what stage performersBroadway singers, opera singers,
classical singers they'realways to a point where that
audience just wants more.
They're at the edge of the seat.
(16:58):
Tell me more.
How can I work with you?
How can I be with you?
So that's the framework.
That's ultimately how I helpthe entrepreneur space, the
communicator space, the leaderspace bring their audience into
their own environment and useyour talk to convert every
(17:19):
single time.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Wow, Wow.
Thank you for walking throughyour framework of how you get
there and using the voiceframework.
What do you tell the leaderthat's gotten promoted?
That's naturally an introvertand pretty quiet, but people
need to hear the voice.
People need to see them more,hear them more.
How do you help them make thattransition from being this
(17:43):
introvert to being able to ownthe space without feeling
overwhelmed and having anxietyabout standing up in front of
people and speaking?
What are some tips that you canshare with that person?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, that's such a great question.
I'm actually an introvert andthat's why it's so important for
me anytime that I take thestage.
Is that aligning of the mindset?
What is some of the limitingbeliefs that are holding people
back?
Could it be a root cause fromchildhood?
Could there be an issue thatthey've gotten up on stage
(18:14):
before and froze?
They got laughed at, they weremade fun of, maybe when they
were in the high school play orsomething like that?
So, really unpacking that,because every single time you
get up on a stage, it's thatfight or flight, right.
Every single time you're havinga conversation, it's that fight
or flight.
Your mindset is going to goback to that moment.
(18:36):
So how to be able to train yourmind eliminate the right,
eliminate the left, come intofull focus, eliminate the right,
eliminate the left, come intofull focus, but doing so with
your body and your breath.
If you understand those threeconcepts, when you show up and
you speak whether it is anetworking event, whether it's
on stage, whether it's on videoyou're going to show up with so
(18:58):
much more confidence and clarityand, ultimately, authenticity.
So that is what I wouldrecommend for anyone that is
suffering from and I wouldn'teven say, suffering.
Being an introvert, being anextrovert, that's just our
personality traits.
I'm the introvert, but when Ishow up, I command, I own, I
(19:21):
deliver, and it's with thatconfidence and clarity and and
clarity and all the way that Iwas describing Awesome, awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Thank you for sharing Really really good insight for
people that are introverts.
What do you do for what aresome tips or pointers for
someone that's the extrovertthat's usually trying to figure
out how to tone it down so theycan have audience engagement.
They're not just talking,talking, talking, talking,
talking.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
How do you?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
settle down if you're an extrovert and you tend to
give out too much informationand you don't engage your
audience.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, Some of the value that I just shared about
how to use pausing strategically, how to use the breath and not
just the, not just the fuel, butgrounding.
I think that's what, um, that'swhat some people suffer from
(20:11):
when they get up and they justshare just all this information
and it's like at the speed oflight.
It's because maybe they'renervous and now they're
manifesting that through beingreally really fast or sharing,
you know, so much informationvery, very in a quick manner.
(20:32):
So, using those strategicpauses, using your breath to
ground yourself, using your bodyand really earthing all of your
messaging internally in yourbody, and when you feel that
type of grounding, you're notgoing to use all of that energy
(20:56):
and excitement, emotion,adrenaline in a way that
actually makes you come acrossrather amateur.
So, yeah, I would say that youknow.
Another thing I notice with alot of talkers, a lot of
speakers, is how they use thestage.
(21:20):
You notice that there are a lotof speakers that use the stage
and they use the entire stage,but they do so in a way that's
not strategic.
So if you play it back, allyou'd be doing is you'd be just
looking like a tennis match,going back and forth and back
and forth.
There is no, there's no purpose, right, there's no control.
There's no command purpose,right, there's no control,
(21:42):
there's no command.
So this also would help thatperson that feels as though that
this out of control energy uh,you know is, is being, is not
being used to their benefit,right.
So strategic, uh, placement ofthe stage command in your body
(22:05):
and your breath, slowing downyour pace, using pauses and
inflection for important ahamoments, yeah, Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
So there's really an art and a science to this
speaking.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Absolutely.
There definitely is an art anda science.
I think, as Zig Ziglar said it,he would pre-vision every
single place in the stage thathe would go to, very similar to
how actors, singers use blocking, and every single motion, every
(22:48):
single gesture, every singleinflection, every single place
on stage.
It was meaning.
I think this is what sets theaverage to the exceptional, and
when you see someone that reallycommands the stage with that
much polish, you're going towant to ultimately be a part of
(23:09):
their environment, because theynow are trusting you.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yes, I love that you're doing it.
The question that's come upthat I want to unpack a little
bit For a one hour keynote, ifI'm interested in being a
speaker, how much preparationtime is really built into that,
because you show up and they doa phenomenal job for one hour
and it's not like they walked onstage and did so the practice
and the rehearsal how much timeis invested for you typically
(23:36):
for a one-hour keynote?
How much time are you investingto make sure that you perfect
that as much as possible?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
You want to make sure that you have that framework to
perfect them as much aspossible.
You wanna make sure that youhave that framework.
You wanna start with that.
That moment of this is how Ishow up and I show up in command
.
Right, there's a lot of peoplethat start a keynote saying
(24:02):
thank you so much for having mehere, it's so great to be here
Right then.
And there you're now at theaudience's level, right?
But if you show up with thismoment of command and of
authority, maybe it's bringingthem into a story that is going
(24:26):
to set up your talk.
Sometimes what I do is I'll getup and I'll sing.
I start singing right away andautomatically that will set me
apart from someone else.
So you show up with that typeof authority and then you lead
your audience with the big ideawhat is the overall idea that
(25:00):
you want to get across?
Using the facts, setting thatcredibility by using other
professionals' quotes right,because quotes actually sets up
credibility from what you'resaying and then using some facts
and figures and percentages andall of that tying in stories so
(25:24):
then the audience canultimately feel.
And then coming back to who youare, who you serve, how you
help, wrapping it up in thisnice little bow and a call to
action at the end.
That, right, there can be fiveminutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes
and an hour, and it just dependson how you're structuring this,
(25:45):
weaving in the storytelling,weaving in everything that I'm
talking about, and then alsocreating buy-in from your
audience.
And then one other thing isfeeling where the audience is.
If the audience isn't ready togo on your journey with you,
take some more time with them.
(26:06):
Maybe there's another quotethat you need to bring in, maybe
there's another story that youneed to bring in.
But wait until your audience isready for you to go through
with that journey on the bus, soto speak, and start then moving
from, you know, one side ofyour journey through your
(26:28):
journey, with the audience onthe bus coming with them.
So you're ultimately, um, it's,it's like you're, you're, it's
like a movie, right, you're,you're allowing the audience to
experience this incredible drama, this action, this comedy,
whatever, but it's doing so in away that's so strategic.
(26:52):
So, to answer your question, howlong does that take?
It takes planning, it takespurpose.
It takes maybe not necessarilywriting out a script like an
actor or performer, but youdefinitely have to have your
bullets.
You definitely have to haveyour facts and your figures and
your quotes and your stories.
And you need to practice, butit's practicing with intention.
(27:16):
It's not practicing just overand over and over.
It's internalizing and feelinghow you are presenting that
story.
(27:36):
As an opera singer, I'm going tokind of take you back a little
bit in pulling back the curtains.
When you are delivering an ariaor you're on stage and you're
having the action, you have toput yourself A in the
character's place, but also inyour own personal place.
What type of experiences madeyou feel really, really sad?
(28:00):
It was a loss of a loved one ora pet or a job.
What was that feeling that youhad?
And how can, now that you bringthat feeling into that story
that you're presenting For me,the aria that I'm presenting,
and then now taking yourself toa place that you can almost go
(28:25):
on the brink of losing control,but you're not.
You can pull back right.
You can bring that audience inthat journey, in that emotion,
but not with breaking down.
The audience doesn't want tosee someone completely breaking
down with the emotion.
They want to see someone withsomeone that has so much control
(28:47):
and composure, but they can doso in a way that's just.
It's your internalizing right.
You are experiencing what thataudience is feeling like.
You're bringing the audienceinto your story, into your pain,
into your discomfort, but doingso in a way that has still
(29:11):
command and control.
So we kind of went on a tangent, but I think I gave a little
bit of um, unveiling and pullingback the curtain of how the
actor and the performer you know, yes, it did exactly what I
wanted you to do.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I wanted you to unpack it, you know so, good job
.
Yeah, I mean because you know,as people listen, oftentimes
people like us make it lookeasier than it really is or
people think they're going to.
It's a light switches on andoff and it happens overnight and
I think to get to the level ofprofessionalism that you've
achieved and success that you'veachieved, there's a lot of work
(29:46):
behind it and appears to bewell worth it, but there's
there's work and that's forevery leader in every role.
But what are you doing to makesure you're ready for the stage?
And every leader in every role,like, what are you doing to
make sure you're ready for thestage?
And that's the stage could beanything that can be, you know,
talking to your spouse dealingwith that could be talking to
your kids.
That could be, you know,dealing with family.
That can be a whole meeting.
That could be doing somethingin your community.
That can be the stage.
(30:07):
You know 25,000 people Likewhat are you doing to actually
prep for that thing that you'regoing to walk into?
That's that you want toinfluence and you want to
command the stage or thepresence and make an impact, and
it requires preparation itreally does um yeah one of the
things I tell a lot of peopleyou know on the daniel, if you
care, you should prepare it'sit's.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
It's like I said before you you want to be able
to set up that no like and trustfactor and you bring that
authenticity in, but you do soagain with command and control
People.
This is how I'm viewing andI've seen speakers.
When someone gets up there andthey're very nervous and they're
(30:51):
stuttering and they're really,really emotional and they don't
feel, they don't seem calm,collected and in control.
The audience will look down orthey'll scroll through their
phone.
They'll look around becausethey're not trusting that person
on stage anymore, that personon stage anymore.
(31:18):
When they trust that person onstage, it's when the audience
can see them as a leader.
Right, they can see them assomeone.
Oh, I want to follow them, Iwant them to take me on this
journey and ultimately, I needto learn from them.
And how then can I be part oftheir community?
So when you show up and youdon't have that authority, you
(31:42):
don't have that command, and howI use my voice and how I use my
body and my face and how I usethe stage and how I use the
stage, those are ultimately thetools and the skills to bring
your audience into your world,with that authority, with that
(32:03):
command and the no like andtrust factor.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Wow, I love it.
I love it.
You shared a lot, daniel, and Iknow you have, as we were
talking before we got started inthe green room.
Basically is you got someresources and things that you
love to share with audiences, soI want to be able to.
A mindful of time for everyoneis what do you want to share
with the audience, that you wantto share with them that may be
useful?
And then, once you do that, ifyou can share, how do people
reach you?
I'm sure there are people thatare speakers and on stages that
(32:27):
can use your services.
So any tools or things you wantto share or giveaways, and then
a best way to reach out to you.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, I've got a breathing video that I use every
single time I take the stageand I would love your audience
to be able to access that.
My website is danielerbycom andyou can find me on social media
Daniel Erby official, and so Idefinitely want to share the
video with your audience.
(32:55):
However, we can arrange that.
Or, if they want to come to mywebsite, sign up for the email
list Boom, I'll shoot off thatvideo.
Connect with me on social media, send me a message.
I'll definitely give that video, but every single time I take
the stage again, when we talkabout mindset, body, breath, it
(33:16):
ultimately begins for me withthe breath, and so I think it's
super important to show and tocoach my clients and anyone that
wants to be part of mycommunity how to master their
breath and then use that in away that fuels the energy and
fuels the voice.
(33:37):
So that's my gift to youraudience.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Awesome, awesome, love it and we'll have that as
you're watching.
We'll have a link, we'llcommunicate to make sure you
have everything to be able toreach.
Daniel, is there anything thatyou haven't shared that you want
the audience to know before wewrap up?
The audience to know before wewrap up.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yeah, ron, I believe that everyone has a story,
everyone has a message, and it'sultimately about how to be able
to deliver that message so youcan impact and influence massive
masses, and so, but it's it'syou showing up, though, in a way
(34:16):
that you just want to have somuch composure with yourself
because, again, people want tobe part of your journey, part of
your community, the know, likeand trust.
So, ultimately, you will beable to influence.
(34:39):
Everyone has that capability,everyone can do it, but there
are certain tools and techniquesthat will just help you from
becoming the average speaker andcommunicator to the exceptional
speaker and communicator,because, ultimately, then you'll
(34:59):
be able to impact more and morepeople and give back and serve,
because ultimately, that's whatwe're here for.
We're here to serve others.
Speaker 2 (35:11):

I've been commanding stages asa world-class stage performer
and elite communications coach.
I've been captivating audiencesof up to 25,000 people,
(01:43):
performing for US, us presidentsand global dignitaries.
And after my military service,I decided that I wanted to give
back.
And who better to give backthan the entrepreneur and the
business community, as well asexecutives and CEOs, to master
(02:04):
the art of stage presence andthe voice?
So, whether you're stoppingonto a conference stage
delivering a keynote or leadinga board room, I'll empower you

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yes, yes, thank you, Daniel.
So all of you that are watchingand listening, you already know
that he just gave you somenuggets.
So I always tell the audiencetake out your pens, take out
your nose.

We ask real fun questions.
We have a good time, and sothank you for your service.
(02:51):
We have it in common I'm aveteran of the army as well 21
years of service.
Thank you for your service andthank you for giving back to the
entrepreneur community and I'mexcited to listen to.
So, owning the stage there's abook called Own the Room, and I
tell people all the time like wedrop things that you can use.
So there's a book called Ownthe Room.
So Daniel's going to talk aboutowning the stage, and so tell
(03:14):
me, daniel, as we get started,what made you go into the
business of wanting people, orwanting to help people, own
stages or rooms and bephenomenal at speaking.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I just felt like it was my opportunity to give back.
Which community could I giveback that was really going to
impact and influence a wide massof people?
And I felt it was theentrepreneur, the business owner
, the communicator and theleader space.
And it's not necessarily aboutwhat you say, but it's how you
(03:48):
say it and how.
As a professional singer andstage performer, I've mastered
the art of influence from thestage.
I've mastered the art of usingtone inflection, of using tone
inflection, phrasing, bodylanguage, the face, the voice,
to be able to allow the audienceto really experience and feel,
(04:12):
so ultimately, they'll say yes,so Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So what I'm listening to, I wanna unpack for a second
.
When did you pick up on the?
Because we talk aboutcommunication all the time and
we talk about between one youand another, another person but
you're communicating tothousands of people.
When did you realize like allthe components that you just
mentioned are important for youto make a connection?
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
my connections has been on the stage in front of
thousands and thousands ofpeople as a singer and stage
performer, but I just felt likeit was so important and so vital
to be able to give back to theentrepreneurial space in how to
communicate a message toinfluence and impact.
(04:58):
This is what I want to be doingnow for the rest of my career.
Doing now for the rest of mycareer is showing up, impacting
and influencing a massiveaudience using the skills that
I've learned about how tocommunicate in a way that's so
(05:19):
confident, so collected, so cooland so concise that you can
share your message, drive peopleto your environment and bring
people in, because ultimately,it's about sharing knowledge,
information, but you do so in away that's just so compelling
(05:39):
and captivating.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Wow, wow, so you're a professional speaker, singer,
you've been on stages.
Do you still get nervous?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I mean, I think it would be false to say that I
don't get nervous.
I don't think we would be humanif we didn't get nervous.
But it's how you handle thosenerves, all right.
So I I believe in systems, Ibelieve in routines.
I believe in systems, I believein routines and I have a same
system, same routine I use everysingle time I'm taking the
(06:08):
stage, whether it's for 10people or 25,000 people, and
it's how to be able to, for me,connect my mindset, my body and
my breath in one alignment.
And when I'm in that place,that mode of confidence and
authenticity, I'm able just togo onto the stage and just and
perform at the highest level.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Wow, so you drove through that real fast, Daniel.
I got to slow it down andunpack it for our audience.
You gave them three things realquick.
I caught it, but I'm a speaker,so I get it.
Can you walk through those?
I mean, you said as long aswhen I step on stage there's
three things you do.
Can you slow that down andunpack it a little bit, Because
I know people like wait, he didthat quick, I missed it.
Well, can you slow down?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, absolutely so.
Mindset, putting yourself intoa place of power.
So there are many, many placesthat people feel they're most
powerful, they're mostcomfortable.
It could be the trails you loveto run, in, the kitchen you
(07:12):
love to cook in or, for some,the boardroom, where you love to
lead.
And what I recommend is puttingyour mind in that place of
comfort, of safe, place, ofrefuge, before you take the
stage, before you take thecamera, and visualize that.
(07:33):
Visualize yourself getting onthat platform and commanding and
performing at the highest levelbecause you're tricking your
mind, and performing at thehighest level because you're
tricking your mind.
If your mind visualized youdoing that, when you actually
get on stage, you've alreadybeen there, You've already done
(07:54):
that and you're in a place ofcomfort, of refuge and in
complete control.
So that's what I mean by themindset when I talk about the
body.
As a speaker, as a singer, as aperformer, your body is your
(08:15):
instrument.
So how to understand theposture, your spinal alignment,
how your physiology works andincorporating that into just an
ease of vocal production.
And then the breath discoveringhow your particular breathing
(08:36):
mechanism works, differencebetween shallow and grounded
breathing, the deep breathing,the diaphragmatic breathing.
This not only just helps youhave composure and confidence,
but this also then allows you touse your breath in such an
(08:58):
energetic and powerful way thatbreath fuels the voice, it gives
you energy and that ultimatelywill give you confidence when
you get on that stage.
So aligning the mindset, thebody and the breath.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Thank you for unpacking that.
I love it because people listenand they'll take notes.
How do I get better If all youthat are listening, most of my
speakers, will give you tipsthroughout the entire podcast.
They just share things.
That's very helpful.
That's why I love to call itUnpacked.
Is you get to have realdialogue Can you think of?
(09:33):
You've been in it for a while?
When did you realize that youhave mastered it?
What were the things that madeyou realize I'm really good at
this?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
As far as the performing and the singing, you
know that's a lifelong process.
But you know, when I startedwinning auditions and I started
beating out thousands of people,I felt like there was something
that was putting myself above alot of the rest.
But it's interesting because Ialways felt myself as an
(10:04):
underdog.
I was not always the bestsinger, I was not always the
best performer, I was not alwaysthe best music student, but
what I could do is I couldcommand the stage.
Every single time I took thestage, I used that as my refuge.
That came from when I was ayoung child and I just felt the
(10:27):
most comfortable on stage.
So, um, after my, uh, mymilitary career, my performing
career and I still am performingbut I decided I want to give
back.
Um, it's my time to be able tocoach, show people how I've
(10:47):
mastered the art of commandingthe stage.
And now I'm not saying that Idon't get nervous, because I do.
But getting up in front of athousand people, five thousand
people, ten thousand people,even twenty five thousand people
, 10,000 people, even 25,000people, as I did last year at
the Republican NationalConvention, on stage with a
(11:09):
worldwide audience of millions,I had the most peace I've ever
had and because I've nowmastered that art of that
connection mindset, body, breathand showing up in a way that's
so authentic and you're so inyour calling that you can't
think of anything not to do butthis Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Wow.
How do you thank you forsharing?
How do you tie back the workthat you're doing, the coaching
that you're doing, to being onstage?
Where is the connection forpeople that are in the
leadership roles of learning howto command, whether it's, like
you said, a boardroom, whetherit's a team meeting, whether
it's 25,000 people?
How do you tie leadership tothe work that you're doing?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Every single time you show up and you and you talk,
there needs to be a reason and avalue driven behind that.
If not, you're just talking,and so that's the difference
between the talkers and thespeakers the speakers that show
up in a commanding presence.
(12:16):
So, whether you're an executive, a CEO, an entrepreneur, a
business owner, every time youspeak you're leading people into
your environment, whether it'syour coaching program, whether
it's the business, whether it'syou're a salesperson, and
inviting them to your service oryour product.
(12:38):
Because if you're not showingup and you're not A providing
value but B be inviting theminto your environment, then
you're just talking.
And so it's very, veryimportant for speakers,
entrepreneurs, communicators tounderstand that you show up,
(13:00):
driving value, allowing youraudience to understand that you
are the authority.
Your big idea is you areproviding all of this insight,
rich solutions.
Whatever your framework is,whatever your aha moment is,
that's how you want to invitepeople in, and I've got a whole
(13:25):
system and I've got a wholeframework that I use with my
coaching clients, um called thevoice framework.
We can go into that a littlelater if you'd like, but it's
about how to utilize your voice,utilize storytelling, um
influence through the, how tocreate buy-in with your audience
through interaction with youraudience, commanding with your
(13:49):
voice, your presence, your body,inflection and tone, and then,
ultimately, how to effortlesslyenroll every single time you get
on the stage, leaving youraudience wanting more and
wanting to know how to connectwith you and what's the next
(14:10):
steps to be able to connect.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, I'm glad you brought up your framework.
You know, without giving awayall the answers to it, you know
what would you share with usabout the framework?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, so I what I just did is I just quickly ran
through it, but it's my voiceframework.
And then I start with themindset, body, breath.
So every single time you takethe stage, aligning that mindset
and that body and that breath,unlocking your authentic voice,
and then, like a singer does,playing the voice like an
(14:42):
instrument.
So, with, with the voiceframework, the V that stands for
value-driven content, that'sclarifying your big idea,
creating that talk that justdelivers transformation and
creates these immediate ahamoments.
That sets you up as theauthority.
And then the O optimizing thestorytelling.
People learn from the authority.
(15:02):
And then the oh optimizing thestorytelling.
You know people learn from thestories and not just the facts.
That's how you can actually getyour audience to feel, because
people love stories and they canrelate and you ultimately want
to be able to take your audienceon your journey through your
(15:25):
story.
And I influence, through theinteraction.
So that's learning how toinvolve your audience, keeping
their attention, building trust,using call and response,
(15:51):
bringing the audience into yourown environment and keeping them
active throughout your talk.
And the C confident deliveryinstrument this voice, through
tone, through pacing, throughpausing, through articulation,
through volume, aligning thatvoice and that message up and E,
(16:16):
the most important effortlessenrollment, structuring that
offer in a way it just feelsnatural, not pushy, not salesy.
Right, you want to lead youraudience into transformation,
(16:37):
innovation and, ultimately, aconversation with trust,
credibility it's that know likeand trust factor.
And you want your audiencewanting more.
This is what stage performersBroadway singers, opera singers,
classical singers they'realways to a point where that
audience just wants more.
They're at the edge of the seat.
(16:58):
Tell me more.
How can I work with you?
How can I be with you?
So that's the framework.
That's ultimately how I helpthe entrepreneur space, the
communicator space, the leaderspace bring their audience into
their own environment and useyour talk to convert every
(17:19):
single time.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Wow, Wow.
Thank you for walking throughyour framework of how you get
there and using the voiceframework.
What do you tell the leaderthat's gotten promoted?
That's naturally an introvertand pretty quiet, but people
need to hear the voice.
People need to see them more,hear them more.
How do you help them make thattransition from being this
(17:43):
introvert to being able to ownthe space without feeling
overwhelmed and having anxietyabout standing up in front of
people and speaking?
What are some tips that you canshare with that person?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, that's such a great question.
I'm actually an introvert andthat's why it's so important for
me anytime that I take thestage.
Is that aligning of the mindset?
What is some of the limitingbeliefs that are holding people
back?
Could it be a root cause fromchildhood?
Could there be an issue thatthey've gotten up on stage
(18:14):
before and froze?
They got laughed at, they weremade fun of, maybe when they
were in the high school play orsomething like that?
So, really unpacking that,because every single time you
get up on a stage, it's thatfight or flight, right.
Every single time you're havinga conversation, it's that fight
or flight.
Your mindset is going to goback to that moment.
(18:36):
So how to be able to train yourmind eliminate the right,
eliminate the left, come intofull focus, eliminate the right,
eliminate the left, come intofull focus, but doing so with
your body and your breath.
If you understand those threeconcepts, when you show up and
you speak whether it is anetworking event, whether it's
on stage, whether it's on videoyou're going to show up with so
(18:58):
much more confidence and clarityand, ultimately, authenticity.
So that is what I wouldrecommend for anyone that is
suffering from and I wouldn'teven say, suffering.
Being an introvert, being anextrovert, that's just our
personality traits.
I'm the introvert, but when Ishow up, I command, I own, I
(19:21):
deliver, and it's with thatconfidence and clarity and and
clarity and all the way that Iwas describing Awesome, awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Thank you for sharing Really really good insight for
people that are introverts.
What do you do for what aresome tips or pointers for
someone that's the extrovertthat's usually trying to figure
out how to tone it down so theycan have audience engagement.
They're not just talking,talking, talking, talking,
talking.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
How do you?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
settle down if you're an extrovert and you tend to
give out too much informationand you don't engage your
audience.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, Some of the value that I just shared about
how to use pausing strategically, how to use the breath and not
just the, not just the fuel, butgrounding.
I think that's what, um, that'swhat some people suffer from
(20:11):
when they get up and they justshare just all this information
and it's like at the speed oflight.
It's because maybe they'renervous and now they're
manifesting that through beingreally really fast or sharing,
you know, so much informationvery, very in a quick manner.
(20:32):
So, using those strategicpauses, using your breath to
ground yourself, using your bodyand really earthing all of your
messaging internally in yourbody, and when you feel that
type of grounding, you're notgoing to use all of that energy
(20:56):
and excitement, emotion,adrenaline in a way that
actually makes you come acrossrather amateur.
So, yeah, I would say that youknow.
Another thing I notice with alot of talkers, a lot of
speakers, is how they use thestage.
(21:20):
You notice that there are a lotof speakers that use the stage
and they use the entire stage,but they do so in a way that's
not strategic.
So if you play it back, allyou'd be doing is you'd be just
looking like a tennis match,going back and forth and back
and forth.
There is no, there's no purpose, right, there's no control.
There's no command purpose,right, there's no control,
(21:42):
there's no command.
So this also would help thatperson that feels as though that
this out of control energy uh,you know is, is being, is not
being used to their benefit,right.
So strategic, uh, placement ofthe stage command in your body
(22:05):
and your breath, slowing downyour pace, using pauses and
inflection for important ahamoments, yeah, Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
So there's really an art and a science to this
speaking.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Absolutely.
There definitely is an art anda science.
I think, as Zig Ziglar said it,he would pre-vision every
single place in the stage thathe would go to, very similar to
how actors, singers use blocking, and every single motion, every
(22:48):
single gesture, every singleinflection, every single place
on stage.
It was meaning.
I think this is what sets theaverage to the exceptional, and
when you see someone that reallycommands the stage with that
much polish, you're going towant to ultimately be a part of
(23:09):
their environment, because theynow are trusting you.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yes, I love that you're doing it.
The question that's come upthat I want to unpack a little
bit For a one hour keynote, ifI'm interested in being a
speaker, how much preparationtime is really built into that,
because you show up and they doa phenomenal job for one hour
and it's not like they walked onstage and did so the practice
and the rehearsal how much timeis invested for you typically
(23:36):
for a one-hour keynote?
How much time are you investingto make sure that you perfect
that as much as possible?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
You want to make sure that you have that framework to
perfect them as much aspossible.
You wanna make sure that youhave that framework.
You wanna start with that.
That moment of this is how Ishow up and I show up in command
.
Right, there's a lot of peoplethat start a keynote saying
(24:02):
thank you so much for having mehere, it's so great to be here
Right then.
And there you're now at theaudience's level, right?
But if you show up with thismoment of command and of
authority, maybe it's bringingthem into a story that is going
(24:26):
to set up your talk.
Sometimes what I do is I'll getup and I'll sing.
I start singing right away andautomatically that will set me
apart from someone else.
So you show up with that typeof authority and then you lead
your audience with the big ideawhat is the overall idea that
(25:00):
you want to get across?
Using the facts, setting thatcredibility by using other
professionals' quotes right,because quotes actually sets up
credibility from what you'resaying and then using some facts
and figures and percentages andall of that tying in stories so
(25:24):
then the audience canultimately feel.
And then coming back to who youare, who you serve, how you
help, wrapping it up in thisnice little bow and a call to
action at the end.
That, right, there can be fiveminutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes
and an hour, and it just dependson how you're structuring this,
(25:45):
weaving in the storytelling,weaving in everything that I'm
talking about, and then alsocreating buy-in from your
audience.
And then one other thing isfeeling where the audience is.
If the audience isn't ready togo on your journey with you,
take some more time with them.
(26:06):
Maybe there's another quotethat you need to bring in, maybe
there's another story that youneed to bring in.
But wait until your audience isready for you to go through
with that journey on the bus, soto speak, and start then moving
from, you know, one side ofyour journey through your
(26:28):
journey, with the audience onthe bus coming with them.
So you're ultimately, um, it's,it's like you're, you're, it's
like a movie, right, you're,you're allowing the audience to
experience this incredible drama, this action, this comedy,
whatever, but it's doing so in away that's so strategic.
(26:52):
So, to answer your question, howlong does that take?
It takes planning, it takespurpose.
It takes maybe not necessarilywriting out a script like an
actor or performer, but youdefinitely have to have your
bullets.
You definitely have to haveyour facts and your figures and
your quotes and your stories.
And you need to practice, butit's practicing with intention.
(27:16):
It's not practicing just overand over and over.
It's internalizing and feelinghow you are presenting that
story.
(27:36):
As an opera singer, I'm going tokind of take you back a little
bit in pulling back the curtains.
When you are delivering an ariaor you're on stage and you're
having the action, you have toput yourself A in the
character's place, but also inyour own personal place.
What type of experiences madeyou feel really, really sad?
(28:00):
It was a loss of a loved one ora pet or a job.
What was that feeling that youhad?
And how can, now that you bringthat feeling into that story
that you're presenting For me,the aria that I'm presenting,
and then now taking yourself toa place that you can almost go
(28:25):
on the brink of losing control,but you're not.
You can pull back right.
You can bring that audience inthat journey, in that emotion,
but not with breaking down.
The audience doesn't want tosee someone completely breaking
down with the emotion.
They want to see someone withsomeone that has so much control
(28:47):
and composure, but they can doso in a way that's just.
It's your internalizing right.
You are experiencing what thataudience is feeling like.
You're bringing the audienceinto your story, into your pain,
into your discomfort, but doingso in a way that has still
(29:11):
command and control.
So we kind of went on a tangent, but I think I gave a little
bit of um, unveiling and pullingback the curtain of how the
actor and the performer you know, yes, it did exactly what I
wanted you to do.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I wanted you to unpack it, you know so, good job
.
Yeah, I mean because you know,as people listen, oftentimes
people like us make it lookeasier than it really is or
people think they're going to.
It's a light switches on andoff and it happens overnight and
I think to get to the level ofprofessionalism that you've
achieved and success that you'veachieved, there's a lot of work
(29:46):
behind it and appears to bewell worth it, but there's
there's work and that's forevery leader in every role.
But what are you doing to makesure you're ready for the stage?
And every leader in every role,like, what are you doing to
make sure you're ready for thestage?
And that's the stage could beanything that can be, you know,
talking to your spouse dealingwith that could be talking to
your kids.
That could be, you know,dealing with family.
That can be a whole meeting.
That could be doing somethingin your community.
That can be the stage.
(30:07):
You know 25,000 people Likewhat are you doing to actually
prep for that thing that you'regoing to walk into?
That's that you want toinfluence and you want to
command the stage or thepresence and make an impact, and
it requires preparation itreally does um yeah one of the
things I tell a lot of peopleyou know on the daniel, if you
care, you should prepare it'sit's.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
It's like I said before you you want to be able
to set up that no like and trustfactor and you bring that
authenticity in, but you do soagain with command and control
People.
This is how I'm viewing andI've seen speakers.
When someone gets up there andthey're very nervous and they're
(30:51):
stuttering and they're really,really emotional and they don't
feel, they don't seem calm,collected and in control.
The audience will look down orthey'll scroll through their
phone.
They'll look around becausethey're not trusting that person
on stage anymore, that personon stage anymore.
(31:18):
When they trust that person onstage, it's when the audience
can see them as a leader.
Right, they can see them assomeone.
Oh, I want to follow them, Iwant them to take me on this
journey and ultimately, I needto learn from them.
And how then can I be part oftheir community?
So when you show up and youdon't have that authority, you
(31:42):
don't have that command, and howI use my voice and how I use my
body and my face and how I usethe stage and how I use the
stage, those are ultimately thetools and the skills to bring
your audience into your world,with that authority, with that
(32:03):
command and the no like andtrust factor.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Wow, I love it.
I love it.
You shared a lot, daniel, and Iknow you have, as we were
talking before we got started inthe green room.
Basically is you got someresources and things that you
love to share with audiences, soI want to be able to.
A mindful of time for everyoneis what do you want to share
with the audience, that you wantto share with them that may be
useful?
And then, once you do that, ifyou can share, how do people
reach you?
I'm sure there are people thatare speakers and on stages that
(32:27):
can use your services.
So any tools or things you wantto share or giveaways, and then
a best way to reach out to you.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, I've got a breathing video that I use every
single time I take the stageand I would love your audience
to be able to access that.
My website is danielerbycom andyou can find me on social media
Daniel Erby official, and so Idefinitely want to share the
video with your audience.
(32:55):
However, we can arrange that.
Or, if they want to come to mywebsite, sign up for the email
list Boom, I'll shoot off thatvideo.
Connect with me on social media, send me a message.
I'll definitely give that video, but every single time I take
the stage again, when we talkabout mindset, body, breath, it
(33:16):
ultimately begins for me withthe breath, and so I think it's
super important to show and tocoach my clients and anyone that
wants to be part of mycommunity how to master their
breath and then use that in away that fuels the energy and
fuels the voice.
(33:37):
So that's my gift to youraudience.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Awesome, awesome, love it and we'll have that as
you're watching.
We'll have a link, we'llcommunicate to make sure you
have everything to be able toreach.
Daniel, is there anything thatyou haven't shared that you want
the audience to know before wewrap up?
The audience to know before wewrap up.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yeah, ron, I believe that everyone has a story,
everyone has a message, and it'sultimately about how to be able
to deliver that message so youcan impact and influence massive
masses, and so, but it's it'syou showing up, though, in a way
(34:16):
that you just want to have somuch composure with yourself
because, again, people want tobe part of your journey, part of
your community, the know, likeand trust.
So, ultimately, you will beable to influence.
(34:39):
Everyone has that capability,everyone can do it, but there
are certain tools and techniquesthat will just help you from
becoming the average speaker andcommunicator to the exceptional
speaker and communicator,because, ultimately, then you'll
(34:59):
be able to impact more and morepeople and give back and serve,
because ultimately, that's whatwe're here for.
We're here to serve others.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
