What if the most powerful thing about your voice isn’t how it sounds — but how aligned it is with who you are?
In this thought-provoking and interactive keynote, voice and communication coach Wolfe Lanier invites audiences to explore the concept of vocal congruence — the alignment between our inner experience and our outward expression. Drawing on his research in somatic voicework, psychology, and performance, Wolfe reveals how the voice acts as a bridge between emotion, identity, and authenticity.
Through stories, live demonstrations, and simple yet profound exercises, Wolfe helps audiences uncover the subtle ways fear, perfectionism, and cultural conditioning shape the way we sound. He then guides them toward a more embodied, grounded, and truthful way of speaking — one that fosters connection, credibility, and calm.
Participants walk away with:
A clear understanding of vocal congruence and why it matters in communication and leadership
Practical tools for speaking with presence, authenticity, and ease
A renewed relationship with their own voice — not as a performance, but as an expression of truth
“Vocal Congruence: The Sound of Being True” is more than a talk about communication; it’s an invitation to come home to your voice.
