The AI PLATFORM behind HighNote
Figaro is the AI platform built by Mihnea Moldoveanu, Dean of the Desautels Centre for Integrative Thinking at the University of Toronto — one of the world's leading minds in integrative thinking and human performance.
Figaro analyzes communication and expression across vocal and facial metrics: valance, emotionality, variation, pitch, expression, engagement, pacing and many more. It creates timely, detailed, specific and actionable feedback for artist coaches who can then close the gap between a client's perception of their communication and the reality of their impact and impression on an audience.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Lucia Cesaroni provided invaluable guidance when I was grappling with persistent vocal fatigue amidst a barrage of Zoom meetings. Her arsenal of precise, actionable techniques transformed my voice, enhancing my confidence, clarity, and professionalism. Lucia possesses the expertise to discern how I could project a more refined presence, and her nurturing approach ignited my excitement for personal growth.
Cecily Carver, Software Engineer, Google
I was sceptical and then came Shakespeare! The biggest take away, of course, was learning that everything you need is inside of you. Awareness and understanding of your neurophysiology, the signs, and symptoms of whatever negative emotion you might be feeling, and knowing there is a way to control your parasympathetic nervous system by simply pausing, breathing and being in your body. But boy, does it take practice. Your guidance on embracing silence has been particularly transformative, giving me time to practise the above and ground myself more effectively.
