Hi I'm Tom Burke

I'm a speech-language pathologist, executive speaker coach and voice teacher who over the past 20 years has helped TED speakers, Google execs, authors, Hollywood Actors and Broadway singers become more powerful communicators. My work has been featured on HBO, MTV, the Oprah Winfrey Network, Good Morning America, and recently as the co-host and voice coach for Bravo TV's "In a Man's World" a social experiment produced by Viola Davis designed to reveal gender inequities in the workplace and at home. This site is focused on my speaker coaching programs. For information on my singing program or Estill Voice related programs, click here.
