Voice, Presence, and Embodied Authority
I coach founders and product leaders to communicate clearly and calmly in high‑stakes settings—investor pitches, enterprise sales calls, board updates, and press. My background spans classical/experimental theatre, a decade of operatic voice training, and graduate work in applied psychology focused on how stress affects breathing and vocal control. The approach is practical: short drills that improve breath support, pace and pause, tone and emphasis, and on‑the‑spot recovery when you're interrupted or challenged. Under pressure, the body's stress response can make voices shaky, thin, or rushed. We train simple techniques to restore steady airflow and vocal power, so you hold attention and land key lines. Clients use this work to cut filler, answer tough questions without sounding defensive, and close with confidence. Sessions are built around your next real conversation and synchronized with GTM or fundraising milestones, so improvements show up where they matter—in the numbers.
By stabilizing breath, pacing, and tone under pressure, founders keep buyers and investors on the line longer, land key lines cleanly, and handle pushback calmly—which shows up as higher engagement and more next steps in the sprint.
