My journey to coming to this belief began with to a burning desire to understand 'what we are'. This fuelled a passionate interest in the workings of the mind, which included shadowing a prominent NYC psychiatrist at the age of 19, perusing third level studies in psychology.


I was a young man who felt like he didn't fit in and was especially awkward in social situations, either retreating to sensitive silence or holding up a forced 'cocky' version of myself to shield myself from the world. I really did not like how I showed up in public situations, I did not feel authentic, and I particularly disliked how I sounded when I spoke. And despite much understanding as to the psychology of this, it did change how I felt, behaved or sounded when the spotlight was shone on me.


However, I truly believed that "I may be” more. I looked with amazement at actors, particularly on stage, who could both be and sound powerful and vulnerable simultaneously, be and sound authentically believable, even when we know they are part of an imagined story. They could energize, mesmerize and evoke shared emotion in an audience with only their sounds and movements to tell a story to show us all our humanity, our commonalty and our uniqueness.


Thankfully I was desperate enough to take massive action and decided to become an actor. In the process of three decades continuous training, 1000's of public performances and then as I teacher of the craft, I got to study, model and get certified by many of the greatest Masters in the live and recorded storytelling.


The one thing I learned from these Masters was that with the right work in the right sequence, we can all quickly release our full potential tap into our own our birth right: a state of relaxed physical readiness, deep anchored breath for balanced energy, emotion and presence and a powerful, expressive and flexible speaking voice with athletic speaking muscles to deliver messages both epic and intimate.


From this knowledge, learnings and experience, I have created a framework called The Voice of Success System™ to quickly release, align and harness the power of your voice, speech and presence muscles, to put you in another dimension of speaking where you become what you 'may be' and sound as amazing as you actually are!
