The craft of speaking well.
Voice coaching for executives and professional speakers.
I'm a licensed speech-language pathologist with specialized training in the professional speaking voice from the MGH Voice Center, a Harvard and MIT affiliate. For the past 15 years, I've worked with leaders across industries and around the world on the voice they bring to their work. I help clients intentionally develop their craft as speakers to support what's next, whether that's a new role, a new audience, or a new level of visibility.
I have a background in classical theatre and professional experience in both voice-over and on-camera work. There's no single formula for speaking well: I partner with each client to access their unique voice, then adapt delivery to the demands of the room, be it a boardroom, a stage, a stadium, or a home or broadcast studio.

"Communication had always been my weakness. After six sessions with Mary, I started noticing real improvement — more engagement with clients, more presence in my presentations. Our work together enabled me to step into the next level of my career. Effective, impactful communication has now become one of my strengths and part of my core brand."

Each episode, I study a voice that shaped a room, an industry, or a moment in history. What made it work. What made it fall apart. And what we can learn from it.
