Background

About Kate Devore

Sometimes brilliant people with great potential get overlooked because of how they present themselves. Does the way you speak create an obstacle for connecting with those you are trying to reach? Are your contributions not heard or taken seriously? Do you feel you lack the authority to command a room? Have you been passed over for promotion, recognition, or raises? Do you have an accent that feels more like a problem than the badge of honor it truly is? I can help. With over 25 years experience as a speaking coach and certified, licensed speech pathologist I have helped thousands of people: Find their authentic voice Communicate powerfully and effectively Remove obstacles to clear and confident speaking Develop a resonant, strong, authentic voice Speak with polish, clarity, and style Appear confident presenting to a single camera or a thousand people Deliver a stellar presentation, from a team update to a TED Talk Learn elements of a Neutral American dialect (Accent Modification) so that an accent is simply a non-issue Harness the energy of stage fright and turn it into dynamism I am uniquely qualified to combine principles and techniques from both art and science to help people grow as efficiently as possible. As both a theatre voice/speech/dialect coach and a speech pathologist specializing in voice, I draw from intuitive, analytic, scientific, creative resources to customize a holistic coaching program for the most fascinating person in the world: the one right in front of me. It’s all about helping people unearth and amplify the best version of who they truly are. Do my services feel like a fit? Connect with me here or send an email to kate@totalvoice.net and let's chat. When I’m not working with clients or coaching plays and films, I’m probably cooking or otherwise playing with food (à la my podcast, You Won’t Believe What I Ate Last Night), or petting any dog or cat I can find.
