Voice Therapy and Training
Shape your voice. Restore its strength. Own your sound.
Your voice is one of your greatest tools. Whether you’re speaking, teaching, leading, or singing, your voice should work with you and not against you. ​
At SpeechAppeal, our clinicians are registered Speech-Language Pathologists with extensive training and clinical experience in voice therapy, singing pedagogy, and vocology. This combination allows us to support both the technical and expressive aspects of your voice, including everyday, professional, and trained singing voices. We collaborate with ENTs, other healthcare professionals, and singing teachers when appropriate, ensuring your voice care is coordinated and comprehensive.
Whether you’re aiming to optimize and style your voice, rehabilitate from a voice disorder, or prevent potential voice injury, we provide personalized, evidence-based strategies to help you achieve your voice goals.
Recover and rebuild your voice. Your voice should feel easy, reliable, and expressive. When it doesn’t, everyday communication can feel disconnected or like a struggle. Our therapy supports both recovery and prevention, helping you use your voice with comfort and confidence.
Common concerns we treat include:
-
Hoarseness, breathiness, vocal weakness, or loss of vocal clarity
-
Frequent fatigue, strain, or discomfort when speaking
-
Sudden changes in pitch, clarity, flexibility, or power
-
Reduced range or endurance for professional or performance use
-
Changes following illness, injury, or surgery
We have extensive experience with voice disorders, such as:
-
Vocal nodules, cysts and polyps
-
Muscle Tension Dysphonia
-
Puberphonia
-
Vocal fold injury recovery, paresis
Our therapy programs are always individualized, blending evidence-based techniques with practical strategies you can carry into real life.
When appropriate, we coordinate care with ENTs, medical specialists, and singing teachers to ensure your voice rehabilitation is comprehensive and well-supported.
Optimize, refine and strengthen your voice. Your voice should feel expressive, confident, and sustainable. When it doesn’t, everyday and professional communication can feel less effective or even draining. Voice training helps you explore new possibilities, build stamina, and develop a voice that reflects how you want to be heard.
Common concerns include:
-
Fatigue or strain after long workdays, meetings, or calls
-
Feeling your voice lacks fullness, warmth, or authority
-
Limited flexibility, tone, or range in professional or personal use
-
Inconsistent vocal quality
-
Less desirable speaking habits such as speaking with persistent vocal fry (creaky voice) or using up-speak (when statements sound like questions)
We work with professional voice users, including teachers, singers, lawyers, coaches, podcasters, and parents, and anyone who wants to increase confidence and comfort in their voice.
Our training programs are always individualized, combining structured practice with real-world strategies to enhance projection, clarity, tone, and stamina. The goal is a voice that feels natural, reliable, and aligned with your personal or professional expression.
