Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

If you've landed on this page, there's a good chance something about your communication isn't quite clicking the way you’d like it to.

Maybe you’re:

• Navigating difficult workplace dynamics, presentations, or interviews (with sweaty palms and a racing heart).

• Wishing your voice had more impact in meetings—or more ease on dates.

• Replaying conversations in your mind, wondering “Did I come off too strong? Too soft? Too…awkward?”

• Feeling disconnected from your voice—how it sounds, how it feels, or how it represents you.

Sound familiar? You’re in the right place.

I’m a public speaking, voice, and communication coach with a background that bridges performance, psychology, somatic practice, and leadership. I work with CEOs, creatives, actors, and everyday humans who are ready to speak with more confidence, authenticity, and connection.

With a Master’s in Voice Studies from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from The Hartt School of Theatre, I bring a deep understanding of vocal technique, stage presence, and expressive prowess. Add to that my training in Linklater, Fitzmaurice, Kabbalah, yoga, and Dale Carnegie methods, and you get a coaching style that’s rooted, rigorous, and refreshingly real.

Whether you’re prepping for a keynote, have an audition, making career moves, rebuilding social confidence, or just ready to stop second-guessing your voice, we’ll work together to bring you back to your voice, your power, your ease.

Let’s rewire your relationship to communication so that speaking becomes not a performance, but an act of presence and choice.

"In 2023, fueled by a mission to conquer my fear of public speaking, I aimed high – delivering a TEDx talk. In my courageous attempt to prepare, I knew I needed help. I had the privilege of working with Wolfe Lanier through six 1-on-1 transformative sessions. Wolfe's coaching went beyond conventional techniques; it was a deep dive into mindset and intuition.

Our sessions covered the technical aspects of public speaking, including formality, hacks, and tricks. However, what set Wolfe apart was his intuitive approach to mindset. The majority of our focus was on embodying the words, feeling into the intent, and refining the delivery impact I wanted to convey.

Wolfe's coaching was instrumental in not only enhancing my speaking skills but also in empowering me to authentically face my fear and connect with my audience. He even challenged me in ways I didn't think possible, proposing to go off script - a kick in the pants that I truly needed. Yet, under Wolfe's guidance, I embraced the challenge, furthering my growth.

As a result, I confidently delivered my TEDx talk in front of 200+ attendees and a global audience who will be watching online. Working with Wolfe Lanier was an invaluable journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a speaker coach who not only understands the power of both form and feeling but also challenges you to reach new heights."

Wolfe is very detail and progress oriented, who helped me discover what I’m doing well, and more importantly, what I can still do better. For one, I got to practice mindfulness and being present with the audience, which is crucial for impromptu speech and I do a lot of them. Working with him has enabled me to handle and enjoy situations that would have otherwise been very daunting.

I approached New York Speech Coaching with a unique request: to help me regain the accent I had as a child before I moved to the United States. I was somewhat apprehensive before my first session, but upon meeting Wolfe, we immediately delved into my goals and crafted a tailored course plan to address my specific needs. Wolfe demonstrated a deep understanding of my objectives and created a personalized program that proved highly effective for me. Throughout our sessions, he adeptly adjusted the program to suit my evolving requirements as we worked together on refining the accent. Thanks to Wolfe's expertise and our collaborative efforts, I made significant progress. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone seeking speech coaching, especially for unconventional requests.
