What Can Voicing and Writing Teach You?

What can voicing and writing teach you? Turns out, it’s a lot!

An Extraordinary Year.

At the end of last year, I sat down and thought about all the things I’d learnt in the space of just one year – 2025. The year in which I continued voicing for you and so many fabulous clients, and wrote, recorded and published The Bubbling Toad Stories Volume One audiobook.

There was a lot to learn! This is the first series of stories I’ve written and the first audiobook I’ve published – for the curious, there’s more on how The Bubbling Toad Stories began here.

Feedback has been astonishing, it’s been recommended by best-selling British author Beth Kempton and the Christmas story was included in the Calm Christmas podcast on 23rd December 2025.

I’ve also received a lovely endorsement from New York Times bestselling author Stacia Deutcsh.

Sara Starling’s Bubbling Toad stories have just the right combination of magical moments and delightful description. Masterfully voiced and written, these stories are for everyone – young and old. May we all  “be bubbled” with the joy of these tales.

There’s a single story book coming soon, so I’m learning about illustration and publishing, too! So, back to the question…

What Can Voicing and Writing Teach You?

I’m sharing this list, because it doesn’t just apply to voicing and writing, it applies to life in general. So, whatever your path in life, I hope you’ll find something here that’s helpful.

• ⭐ If an Idea slips in like a seed on the breeze, grab it with both hands.
• ⭐ Listening and allowing can be far more productive than pushing.
• ⭐ The body keeps the score. Listen to it.

• 🌳 The worst of times can become the diamonds in the rough.
• 🌳 It’s ok to ask for help – most people love to lend a hand.
• 🌳 Hope is far better than expectation.

• 🧡 Embrace the silence, that’s where the magic lies.

• 🧡 Dreams can come true.
• 🪶 Oh, and feathers are signs 😉

Wishing you a Healthy, Happy, Fruitful Year of Unfurling! ✨
