Wolfe Lanier — Public Speaker, Voice & Communication Coach

Wolfe Lanier is a public speaking and voice coach who helps leaders, creatives, and changemakers speak with authenticity, clarity, and confidence. With a background in musical theatre and an MFA in Voice Studies from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Wolfe blends artistry with evidence-based vocal pedagogy to empower individuals to find freedom and presence in their speech.

Before becoming a coach, Wolfe performed on national tours and regional stages across the U.S., honing a deep understanding of performance, storytelling, and human connection. Today, his talks and trainings explore themes of perfectionism, vulnerability, and self-expression — guiding audiences to embrace their natural voices and speak from the inside out.

As a Keynote Speaker

Wolfe delivers transformative, high-energy keynotes that merge science, storytelling, and soul. He invites audiences to question the myths of “perfect communication” and reconnect with the power of authenticity in leadership and life. Through practical voice and mindset techniques, he helps professionals overcome performance anxiety, speak with conviction, and communicate with empathy and impact.

His signature keynote, “Practically Perfect: The Perils of Public Speaking Perfectionism,” offers a fresh, empowering take on the inner critic that silences so many speakers. Other keynote themes include:

The Authentic Voice Advantage: Communicating with confidence and connection

Leading Through Presence: How to speak so others truly listen

The Physiology of Confidence: Using your body and breath to access calm authority

Research and Thought Leadership

Wolfe’s current research explores the concept of vocal congruence — the alignment between how we sound, how we feel, and how we want to be perceived. His work examines how discrepancies between inner experience and outward expression can affect authenticity, confidence, and connection in communication. Drawing from somatic voicework, psychology, and performance theory, Wolfe bridges academic insight with practical tools to help individuals develop a voice that feels true — not just trained.

Whether addressing corporate teams, universities, or international conferences, Wolfe’s speaking style is equal parts intellectual and heartfelt — grounded in somatic awareness and laced with humor, warmth, and insight.
