Hi, I’m Mary Falkenstern.

I’m a teacher, speaker, and advisor working at the intersection of voice, story, and human potential. My background spans professional acting, clinical voice science and more than 15 years of executive communication work with high-performing professionals.

Over time, I’ve come to see that a person’s voice is never just a skill. It’s the most revealing expression of their inner life—their patterns, their possibility and their power.

Through my show, Read the Room, I explore the voices and stories of unforgettable people and characters, revealing mythic patterns that shape extraordinary lives. And my teaching and speaking work, I create spaces where people learn to access the deeper intelligence inside their own voice. And learn to speak their way into who they’re becoming.

Put simply: I help great people use their voice with the force, truth and resonance the world needs from them.
