• My intention is to guide and inspire leaders to be mythical heroes in their own stories or the stories of their organizations or causes, heroes who transform hearts and minds to create solutions for a better more peaceful world.
I could never have imagined where my voice would take me when I received my Master of Music degree in Applied Voice from CSUF in 1979. I was already singing concert music and opera professionally and teaching voice; I earned my union cards as a session singer in commercials (and in a B movie,) and while treading the boards in musicals. However, life took an especially interesting turn when I was chosen to be the smoke and mirrors behind the first voice-actuated computer in the 80’s. Touring as the Vanna White of the company (the now-defunct Heuristics,) I became intrigued with technology and the voice, including how people use the voice to persuade and influence, and now how that happens in the era of digital communication. Today, even as I still perform in cabaret and concerts, I am an executive coach and the author of Can You Hear Me Now? Harnessing the power of your vocal impact in 31 days. My clients include executives in Fortune 50 companies who want to have greater impact in their companies and in the world. An expert on vocal impact, my radio interviews have included making the KNX news room try out “mask resonance,” and giving Valentine’s Day advice on how to create a sexy voice on the Wayne and Jane show in Canada. Great fun!

Author of Can You Hear Me Now? Harnessing the power of your vocal impact in 31 days, , Kate Peters has been developing Vocal Impact Inc.’s Communication Impact Services concept for more than 15 years. As an expert guest she has been featured on radio and television, providing insight about how the sound of a speaker’s voice supports, or betrays, their message.
Her method to communicating with impact and influence is a science-based, performance-proven approach that is grounded in a deep understanding of vocal physiology and muscle control, treating communication as an athletic endeavor that extends to the metaphorical voice, as well. She focuses on guiding people to create communication that aligns their personal intention and business strategy with compelling content and purposeful delivery choices that impact listeners.
Kate has a soft place in her heart for helping technologists and engineers communicate more effectively, an interest that was piqued with her work as the smoke and mirrors behind demos of one of the first voice-actuated computers, in 1980. This interest eventually led Kate to help prepare and strengthen TEDMED and TEDx speakers to perform with confidence. Today, her clients include executives at companies such as Cisco, First American, CA, Invensys, Intel, Verify, British Petroleum, Disney, Nissan, and Avaya, among others. An expert on vocal impact, her radio interviews have included making the KNX news room try out “mask resonance,” and giving Valentine’s Day advice on how to create a sexy voice on the Wayne and Jane show in Canada.
Her blog, Kate’s Voice, is among the top 100 Public Speaking Resources globally as identified by Prezi, and she has been named one of the 30 2014 Global Gurus in Communications by globalgurus.net. Her blog can be found at http://www.KatePeters.com/blog. |
