My Story...
My journey began with a passion for helping performers. Fresh out of speech-language pathology school, I dreamed of building a private practice for singers and actors. But reality hit fast—starting a business in New York City wasn’t easy. To keep the lights on, I juggled what felt like 20 jobs while holding onto my vision of helping people find their voice.
Then, an unexpected opportunity changed everything. A one-off corporate coaching gig led to a 17-year adventure in public speaking training—culminating in coaching 22 TED Talks and working with major brands like Google, Bravo, and the Oprah Winfrey Network. Along the way, I developed a proven framework that transforms voices and communication skills with precision and efficiency.
With nearly two decades of coaching experience, I blend science, artistry, and real-world application to help singers, speakers, and teachers unlock their full potential—whether on stage, in the boardroom, or in the classroom. From Broadway performers to Fortune 500 executives, TED speakers to educators, I’ve worked with professionals across industries to enhance their vocal power, clarity, and confidence.
I offer three core ways to work with me:
- Workshops – Interactive, hands-on sessions designed to tackle specific vocal challenges in a group setting.
- Sprints – Focused, time-bound coaching intensives that deliver rapid progress, perfect for TED Talks, keynotes, media training, and performance prep.
- Courses – Step-by-step training programs that provide in-depth techniques for mastering your voice at your own pace.
Whether you're preparing for a big performance, refining your public speaking skills, or looking to level up your teaching, there's a format that fits your goals.
Join me and take the next step in your vocal journey.

"This experience was next-level for my business!"
"I came in knowing I had the skills but wasn’t quite sure how to play the game in the corporate world under my own steam. I’ve spent years working in corporate coaching—but always for other people. Tom has given me a clear, actionable way to shift from relying on others for work to generating my own. Tom’s whole approach to positioning, relationship-building, and the 'guinea pig' sprint method blew my mind. It’s simple, strategic, and—most importantly—it’s actually already working.
Since doing the program, I’ve tightened up my offers, completely revamped my messaging, and built a process that makes attracting my own corporate clients a natural next step. I now have a clear, repeatable way to bring in high-value clients without overcomplicating things. Tom’s advice has helped me move fast, keep things fun, and trust that I know what I’m doing.
I’ve come away from this with clients who’ve received real value in a 2 week period. Clarity on their message, technical tools on delivery and the ability to express themselves with emotional depth giving them the felt sense of the importance of their work. Corporate people LOVE this approach! And as a result of a good time had by all and actual value given, my clients have been more than keen to offer referrals without me having to ask. If you’re an artist coach looking to crack the corporate world, this is hands-down the best shortcut you’ll find."

"In the past, I would have felt shy about reaching out to corporate clients."
"But seeing how you frame your reach-outs to clients--and remembering that regardless of the price tag, I am, in fact, offering a highly valuable service!!!--is helping me feel braver about doing those reach-outs myself. It's still a little scary, but getting easier. (And I'll definitely be asking for your specific help on this when we meet next week, Tom!) Some of the momentum is showing up in how I'm arranging services with other clients in my practice. I just talked to an ongoing accent client about transitioning to asynchronous work because I think it's what he needs now--he actually needs the reps and feedback throughout the week, and the model of meeting an hour a week isn't actually so useful for his particular needs.So while he's not at all a corporate client, I'm definitely feeling some overall momentum around shaking up some other working models in my practice beyond the corporate coaching.
After implementing the 4-session format I learned in this program, my client landed in a really solid place and I think felt great about our work together. For example, one of the major (so simple) notes I gave her in session three was around her rate being too fast across the board. She beautifully corrected it for both the recording she sent between sessions and in the final run-through of session 4. She also noted that she got to hear a podcast interview she recorded right before we started working and that she really noticed the pacing being too fast in the interview. I highly suspect this relationship will expand into more work together, and that there's real potential about expanding into her org, too."

I have throughly enjoyed the experience and though I haven’t been particularly vocal in the chat I have followed closely and really feel like I have benefitted hugely from our community. Thank you to those of you who posed exactly the right questions to our benevolent leader! Tom, I was full of trepidation going into this experience, however it has been a joy. I have loved being a professional audience member, really understanding the virtues of ‘going with my gut’ in terms of guiding my guinea pigs and using the very clear but flexible system you provided for us. My wee pigs have discovered new and exciting things about themselves and their voices and have both felt truly empowered by the experience - as have I. Wishing everyone luck with their future endeavours! Thank you Tom for doling out courage left right and centre and being so generous with your insights and methods. It’s golden

"Tom is an experienced advisor who helped us think about how we express the history and future of Boxed. He helped us pull together our thoughts into a coherent message."

"Tom has made my public presentation skills much, much better. In everything from body posture and hand movement to inflection and tone, he has detailed, subtle and amazing insight on how I can be better. More than everything else, Tom has taught me to really "feel" what I say in a way that makes my presentations genuine, exciting and appealing.
(That he can do this with someone who would rather write software or poetry than speak to 5000 people is a further testament to his skill and ability.) Thank you, Tom!"
Abigail Posner
Head of Strategic Planning, Google
