Description
Your voice is one of the most powerful tools you have and yet it’s often the most underestimated. It’s how we connect, persuade, tell stories and express who we are. And best of all, it’s free.
‘Voices of Barcelona’ is an immersive, fun and confidence-boosting morning workshop designed to help you communicate more clearly, speak with impact and feel comfortable using your voice in front of a microphone.
Led by former BBC journalist and communications specialist Carrie Frais, this small-group experience takes place at the Radiofonics studios and guides you through the creation of a live podcast episode from start to finish.
You’ll learn how to ask smart, engaging questions, how to answer succinctly and confidently and how to use your voice effectively whether you’re speaking spontaneously or telling a personal story. You’ll also gain hands-on experience using professional microphones and recording equipment in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Together, the group will create a 30-minute podcast episode exploring personal perspectives on life, love and work.
No previous media experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to participate. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a recording of your podcast, new communication skills, and greater confidence in your communications skills, even essential for the AI era.

About the Host
I am a British broadcast journalist and communications specialist, based in Barcelona for over 20 years. I have worked for some of the world’s leading broadcasters, including BBC, ITV and Sky, as an anchor, reporter and producer. Since relocating to Barcelona, I have specialised in communications coaching, public speaking, and helping individuals and organisations use their voice with clarity, confidence and impact.
Alongside my media career, I am a serial entrepreneur and have founded several ventures, including MumAbroad, a leading platform for the international community in Europe; 4Voices, a public speaking and confidence-building programme for teenagers; and No20, a co-working and events space focused on community and collaboration.
I regularly host and moderate major international conferences and industry events, including South Summit, Mobile World Congress, and Savant eCommerce, working with founders, investors and global brands.
More recently, I have begun working as a freelance trainer at Radiofonics in Barcelona, delivering workshops and courses in podcasting, communication and voice. I believe there is strong potential for collaboration with CultureVitale, and I would welcome the opportunity to explore how my experience in broadcasting, facilitation and communications training could add value to your programmes.
