Chapter 4 – How to use LinkedIn voice note ?

Adding voice notes to your LinkedIn outreach is a small shift that creates a huge impact.

It breaks the pattern. Most prospects are used to receiving cold messages in text form: clean, static, and often ignorable.

A voice message feels human. It carries tone, intention, and personality in a way written copy never can.

And even if the recipient doesn’t listen to the full recording, the simple fact that you took the time to record it already sets you apart.

The key is to keep it simple and warm.

You don’t need a radio voice or a perfect pitch. You just need to sound like a real person trying to connect. Smile while you speak, it may feel silly, but it comes through in your tone and makes you sound friendly and relaxed.

Keep it short: under 45 seconds is ideal. You’re not there to explain everything, only to spark curiosity.

A few sentences are enough to:

• reference a shared context,

• show you’re not mass-blasting,

• invite a reply.

The environment matters too.

Background noise isn’t always bad, a bit of café chatter or outdoor ambience can make your note feel authentic. What matters most is clarity of sound and a spontaneous tone.

Don’t script it. Don’t overthink it. Just talk as if you were sending a quick note to a colleague. You’ll be surprised how often people reply simply because no one else is doing it.
