A Bold New Way to Speak.
A Smarter Way to Lead.

CONSIDER US YOUR STRATEGIC PARTNERS
FOR HOW YOU SHOW UP IN THE WORLD.

Unlock the power of

your voice and presence.

At Vital Voice Training, we blend executive strategy, communication psychology, and the real-world adaptability of theater to help brilliant humans show up — in classic “public speaking” scenarios, yes, but also for leadership, influence, and real connection.

Our work often starts at the point where traditional advice stops being useful. “Speak with confidence.” “Use your authentic voice.” “Be more commanding—but not too much.” Most of what people are told about communication is vague, contradictory, or disconnected from the realities of power, identity, and context.

[movie trailer voice] In a world shaped by complexity (and steeped in uncertainty), your voice is not a soft skill.

It’s your edge.

“Meet the public speaking goddesses. I can’t speak highly enough of them.”

KATIA VERRESEN, KVA LEADERSHIP

OUR RADICAL IDEA:

What if the tools of the stage can help us speak in real life?

Those theater tools give us a deep knowledge of human behavior, and of your voice as a physical, mental, emotional, and social instrument. Theater is a training ground for action, and action is what gets us out of our heads, away from our inner self-critic, and into our most undeniable presence.

OUR PROMISE

You don’t need to be louder, or to perform someone else’s version of leadership or “Good Public Speaking.” (Yes, even if you’re in one of those environments that says that’s what they want.)

You need a communication approach that evolves with you in every scenario, and amplifies your impact without stripping away your edges, brilliance, or humanity.

WE’RE ON YOUR TEAM.
BRING YOUR MESSAGE.
Let’s get to work.

WORK WITH US
  • A black chess king piece against a transparent background.

    "They turned me into the speaker I always wanted to be."

    I can't overstate how much working with VVT meant to me…I went from feeling really anxious and fearful about delivering such a personal, vulnerable story in front of an audience to feeling so strong and in command. They turned me into the speaker I always wanted to be and I can't wait for the next opportunity to work with them.

    - Founder and CIO, Health Tech Company

    "the best presentation I've ever delivered"

    Casey and Julie tailored everything to the very specific task and to my own style, so that I could be both exceptionally prepared and comfortable…The result was the best presentation I have ever delivered. Even better, what I learned in working with them is broadly applicable to any other speaking engagement, so will continue to add benefit to my work.

    "They bring humor, high energy, and above all enormous insight..."

    "Do it — work with Casey and Julie. They taught me SO much about connecting with audiences…They bring humor, high energy, and above all enormous insight to their coaching. They turned me from a professor who is very comfortable in the classroom into a public speaker who absolutely loves sharing my passion for my subject with many different kinds of audiences."

    Victoria Johnson, author of AMERICAN EDEN, runner up for the 2018 Pulitzer in Non-Fiction

  • "Bottom line: I am so much more prepared and confident."

    VVT was a critical part of my book launch. They helped me distill my talk to the most important points and helped me find more interesting language to communicate those points. They also gave me tools and techniques to make my voice stronger. Bottom line: I am so much more prepared and confident. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

    - Fran Hauser, best-selling author

  • "Casey and Julie are miracle workers!"

    Casey and Julie are miracle workers! Other coaches help you present competently and with polish, but Vital Voice takes it a step further. If you use them, your audience will feel moved and inspired by your content — which is really the holy grail of public speaking.
