Every business has a story — but not every story is seen.
Real Voice was founded by
Alondra Valencia
and
Austin Coulson
two people from different paths who share one belief:
Authenticity builds Connection
Alondra Valencia
began her journey at Riverside City College,
helping students connect through social media, flyers, and campus events.
What started as a small communications role quickly became a passion for storytelling, seeing how people respond when messages come from the heart.
Later, while studying Business Administration at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), she completed an Honors Research Project on Authenticity and Leadership Trust on Social Media under the supervision of Dr. Kyle Ingram.
During that time, she met author Ryan Holiday who told her something that stayed with her:
“Take every opportunity when you are in school because when you are outside, you become competition.”
She asked him how you could change that. He said,
“Create Value in the Community if you want it to embrace you and whatever you are doing”
That lesson became the foundation of Real Voice. Because while social media and trends change, what truly connects people is honesty. When you’re open — when you embrace your story and yourself — that’s what makes people connect, and that’s what makes your business stand out.
Austin Coulson

With over two decades of experience in digital marketing and business development, Austin brings strategic insight and a strong entrepreneurial spirit to both the private and public sectors.
Where he has helped hundreds of businesses grow through web design, marketing, and strategy.
Austin is deeply involved in the Riverside community through several civic and nonprofit initiatives. He is Chair of the Business in Action committee and VP of Economic Development for the Magnolia Business Council with the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce, a graduate of the Leadership Riverside program, and an active member of Riverside’s General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) and the Magnolia Center Initiative Task Force, contributing to the city’s long-term growth and development plans.
He also serves as President of A Night for Veterans, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting homeless veterans in the Inland Empire. Under his leadership, the organization has raised over $200,000 for U.S.VETS and other veteran supporting nonprofits. U.S.VETS Inland Empire is an organization that helps veterans avoid homelessness through rent assistant and housing programs.
Austin is recognized for his ability to unite business and community, driving both economic and social impact across Riverside.
Over the years, he’s learned that success doesn’t just come from a great product — it comes from connection.
Networking and community are what help businesses thrive.
When people know you, understand your values, and believe in your purpose, they support what you do.
Together,
Alondra and Austin
built Real Voice to help leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations share their real stories with confidence. Through storytelling videos and digital content, Real Voice helps turn purpose into presence and stories into trust.
Because when you embrace your story and show who you really are — that’s what makes your business different.
That’s your Real Voice.
