Alyssa
McCarthy
Originally an East Coaster, Alyssa (she/her) can be found near the water and calls both Toronto and Halifax home. Alyssa's love for science, artistry and coaching has shaped her approach in discovering, defining and enhancing voice and communication. She understands how communication distress can impact one's identity and confidence, and she enjoys finding creative ways to achieve personalized and meaningful outcomes for her clients.
After years of studying and teaching singing and voice pedagogy, Alyssa discovered her passion for Voice Therapy through Speech-Language Pathology when an autoimmune-related vocal injury impacted her ability to continue as a professional voice user. After rehabilitating her voice through Voice Therapy, she has since completed many years of extensive voice-specific clinical training in Halifax and Toronto. With dual clinical training as a Voice Therapist and Singing Voice Specialist, Alyssa spent several years assisting with ENT stroboscopic voice evaluation for professional voice users and has further refined her diagnostic ears by allowing her to closely associate the sound of voice with the physiological patterns and functioning.
Alyssa prioritizes identity, physical ease, and confidence as pillars of communication.
She is especially passionate about working with Gender Affirming and Transgender Voice Training and Voice Therapy and Rehabilitation.

Scott
Tobin
Scott is a bilingual registered Speech-Language Pathologist with the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) and is also an SVI-Trained Vocologist.
Scott hails from Newfoundland and Labrador and brings his east coast charm to Ontario. His love for instruction, health care, voice and linguistics has helped grow his skills and appreciation of the field of Speech-Language Pathology and its vast reach of services.
Departing a former career as a teacher of all ages, Scott fell in love with the field - one that eluded him for several years. Scott took voice and music lessons, participated in national speaking competitions, and held many porte-parole positions in executive boards, and, now, he puts all of these competencies into the art of Drag.
Staying true to their convictions, Scott started their Master’s hinged on the long-term goal of working in voice and gender affirming care. Communication is tantamount to our identity, and Scott endeavours meeting clients where they are in their journeys and offering a supportive hand to overcome obstacles to arrive at suitable goals. Scott completed certification with the prestigious Summer Vocology Institute in Utah in order to harness the knowledge of the basic mechanisms of voice production, voice habilitation, and the performing arts.
Scott's passion areas are Voice Training, Voice Therapy & Rehabilitation, Professional Communication Training and Adult Stuttering.
​
Scott provides Speech-Language Pathology services in both official languages, French and English.
