Stewart Pearce - The Magnetic Voice
In this episode of Mental Notes with Matt, I sit down with Stewart Pearce, world-renowned voice coach and master sound healer. Stewart has worked with some of the world’s most recognized performers, leaders, and visionaries, including Princess Diana, to help them unlock the deeper resonance of their voice.
I first met Stewart over twenty years ago while studying at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London as part of my acting conservatory program. He was my voice teacher then, and even in that short window of time, his presence and wisdom left a lasting mark. This conversation felt like a return, a chance to revisit the part of me that first learned to breathe, speak, and show up with courage.
We talk about what it means to find your signature note, that inner frequency that lives beneath fear, conditioning, and self-doubt, and how reconnecting to it can change the way we move through the world. We explore authenticity, breath, sound, trauma, and the quiet, unseen ways that voice and presence can bring us back to ourselves.
It’s a conversation about resonance, healing, and the lifelong practice of learning to sound like you.
💡 In This Episode, We Explore:
What it means to discover your “signature note”
The connection between breath, emotion, and authenticity
How fear and social conditioning mask our true voice
The difference between doing and being
Why stillness and presence are acts of resistance in a noisy world
The physical and spiritual power of vibration and sound
How simple practices—like humming—can help the body heal and decompress
The importance of unlearning everything that made us doubt our voice
🧭 Key TakeawayYour voice isn’t just how you speak, it’s who you are. When you stop performing and start breathing, you don’t need to be louder to be heard; you simply resonate.
