    Samantha Dalmas was fantastic!

    Aileen was INCREDIBLY helpful to us, both in assessing possible origins of my grandson's food aversions, as well as informing us of various available interventions to consider.
    I can’t thank you and Brooklyn Letters enough for connecting
    … More us with Aileen. In all our feeding therapy journey we have not gotten anything near the kind of benefit that we did from her. Her knowledge, professionalism, and responsiveness have put us on the path of progress with my grandson and has also made us feel genuinely well cared for.

    We were amazed with Allison!

It allowed my son to gain confidence in his speech, make a new friend :), and also give him the skills and a bit of understanding of how to shape his mouth or where to place his tongue to make the proper sounds. We were extremely happy with Allison- she was fantastic to work with.
  • Voice Therapy for Adults | Brooklyn Letters, Brooklyn Letters Andrea Saffady ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    My sessions with Karen have been extremely helpful. My speech has improved tremendously. In fact, I just finished 2 hours of conducting interviews with a consulting client via MS Teams and I have an upcoming conference call. Both my … More neurologist and neurosurgeon remarked about how good my speech is. Much of the day it is perfect, although I still have some rough spots when I get tired or speak too quickly. One of my granddaughters is a speech pathology student at Ithaca College. She sat in on 2 sessions while she was home for winter break, and she was very impressed with Karen.

    We were delighted with Christie. First, and most importantly, our son made great strides under her guidance. So great, that we felt he no longer needed help! She was incredibly patient and kind with him and our son really responded to … More her. Christie was also great with me and my wife.

  • Voice Therapy for Adults | Brooklyn Letters, Brooklyn Letters Samantha Packard ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We've been working with Theo from Brooklyn Letters for close to 4 months now and the results are apparent; our daughter has vastly improved her speech in a relatively short amount of time. We make "Theo Day" a celebration … More in our house with pancakes for breakfast, and the enthusiasm is matched in the sessions. Theo is fun, patient, professional, and caring, and he gives us the tools to take the lessons beyond the session. Thank you Theo, and Brooklyn Letters, for helping our daughter express herself.

  • Voice Therapy for Adults | Brooklyn Letters, Brooklyn Letters susie tofte ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    The work that Allison P. did with our daughter over the years has been invaluable to us. Our daughter had such a good relationship with Allison, and it allowed them to work really well together - even remotely these past 6 months. This … More year, Allison went above and beyond by helping us throughout the neuropsych eval we did, trying to re-open our daughter's IEP at her school, and eventually landing her at our chosen school. She was in contact with our daughter's teachers, with the neuropsychologist, and made herself available as a reference to speak on behalf of our daughter's learning differences.
    Allison stopped by our house last week to give our daughter cupcakes and say goodbye, and I literally cried with appreciation for what an amazing speech therapist she has been. She has been our daughter's biggest champion. The new families that she will work with this year are lucky to have her.

  • Voice Therapy for Adults | Brooklyn Letters, Brooklyn Letters Kristin Ames ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Our experience with Theo was terrific. Theo was great with my son. He developed a positive relationship with him based on sincerity, respect, trust and a deep personal connection. In their lessons, Theo was encouraging, creative and kind. … More He helped our son understand how to differentiate the sounds he made when he spoke, and gave him great exercises to practice every week between lessons. Our son was sorry to have the lessons come to an end, but recognized that Theo had helped him as much as possible and it was time for him to stop. Theo explained to him (and us) how to keep working to get the last 5%, and encouraged him to keep working on the exercises on his own. I have recommended Theo to another parent who noticed my son's improvement and inquired for her own son.
    We are all grateful to have gotten to know Theo, and we greatly appreciate all the work he did to help our son.

    "I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Michelle Macroy-Higgins. We are extremely pleased with her work with our daughter. I was so grateful for my daughter to have a speech therapist who is a researcher (specialty in late … More talkers), graduate professor and practitioner. Her expertise was clearly evident in our conversations and work with our daughter. She was very responsive to my questions and often sent articles and other materials about language development that I found helpful. Thankfully, my daughter's speech improved tremendously. Michelle developed such a warm relationship with my daughter. My daughter was always excited to see Michelle and would greet her at the door with a big hug. Lastly, I would add that Michelle always demonstrated empathy with me as a mother who was initially worried about her daughter's language development. I could go on and on about how pleased we were with Michelle's work."

    We were absolutely DELIGHTED with Marsha's services. She was wonderful. We found her to be kind, fun, engaging, very knowledgeable. She provided us with clear instructions and additional written handouts each week. She engaged our … More son with different techniques and toys, and showed us how to use her techniques when we were interacting with him. I actually just texted her on Saturday - Our son finally said "more" - one of the target words we had been working on with her. It was a total joy to hear, and I had to share it with her - she wrote back immediately to congratulate us. I am so appreciative of her expertise, and wish we could have seen her for longer. I recommended her to another family in our neighborhood who is looking for a speech therapist.

What Voice Therapy Is — and Why It Matters

Voice therapy is a clinical, scientifically grounded rehabilitation process that transforms how your vocal mechanism functions. It helps you reduce strain, improve clarity, build endurance, and protect your long-term vocal health. Unlike general speech therapy, voice therapy focuses exclusively on the larynx, the vocal folds, breath coordination, resonance, and the muscles that support efficient sound production.

Adults seek voice therapy for many reasons. Some have developed chronic hoarseness from years of teaching, presenting, or performing. Others experience discomfort, tightness, or fatigue after short periods of speaking. Some are recovering from injury or illness. Many want stronger vocal presence for professional or personal reasons. And some are exploring gender-affirming communication as part of their identity journey.

Voice therapy gives you tools and techniques to speak with ease, stamina, and confidence—without pushing, forcing, or straining.

Your Brooklyn Letters Voice Therapy Experience

Your therapy plan begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Your clinician takes time to understand how your voice works, what challenges you experience, and how your daily life affects your speaking patterns. We examine your breath, pitch range, vocal quality, muscle tension, endurance, and resonance. You receive clear explanations of what’s happening with your voice and what can be improved.

After your evaluation, we create a tailored training plan that focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes. Many adults arrive feeling embarrassed or discouraged by their voice. Our job is to help you understand that voice problems are common, fixable, and not your fault. We move at a pace that feels safe and supportive while ensuring steady progress.

Throughout therapy, you learn techniques to reduce throat tension, improve breath control, and create sound with less effort. You practice resonance placement that makes your voice clearer and more powerful without straining. You build strength in the laryngeal muscles, refine your pitch and tone, and develop speaking habits that support vocal health.

One of the greatest advantages of working with Brooklyn Letters is that you practice these skills in the environments where you actually use your voice. If your challenges appear during long workdays, virtual meetings, or performances, we help you master the techniques where they matter most.

Over time, your voice becomes easier to use, more reliable, and more reflective of who you are.

Conditions We Treat

Voice Therapy for Adults | Brooklyn Letters, Brooklyn Letters

Voice challenges can develop gradually or appear suddenly, and many adults don’t realize their symptoms can be reversed with the right specialist. At Brooklyn Letters, we identify the root of your vocal difficulties and create a targeted, evidence-based plan to help you regain clarity, comfort, and confidence. Below are the most common conditions we successfully treat throughout NYC and the Tri-State area.

We treat:

  • Vocal Nodules, Polyps, and Cysts — These benign growths often develop from vocal overuse and cause hoarseness, breathiness, and inconsistent tone.

  • Chronic Hoarseness or Persistent Voice Changes — Ongoing roughness or raspiness usually signals irritation or strain that can be rehabilitated with proper technique.

  • Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) — Excessive muscle tightness around the larynx makes speaking feel effortful, squeezed, or tiring.

  • Vocal Fatigue and Reduced Endurance — Speaking for even short periods can feel exhausting when the voice isn’t functioning efficiently.

  • Post-Illness or Post-Surgical Voice Changes — Viral infections, intubation, and surgeries can alter vocal quality in ways that targeted therapy can improve.

  • Vocal Fold Weakness or Paresis — Reduced vocal fold movement leads to a soft, breathy, or unstable voice.

  • Parkinson’s-Related Hypophonia and Neurological Voice Disorders — Neurological changes can cause reduced loudness, monotone pitch, and unclear speech that respond well to structured therapy.

  • Projection Difficulties or Weak Volume — Many adults push from the throat when trying to get louder, which we replace with healthier breath-supported techniques.

  • Pitch Instability or Limited Range — Irregular pitch breaks or a restricted range often reflect tension or biomechanical inefficiency that therapy can correct.

  • Functional Voice Disorders from Overuse — High-demand speaking careers often lead to patterns of misuse that strain the vocal folds over time.

  • Gender-Affirming Voice and Resonance Needs — Individuals seeking a voice that aligns with their identity benefit from safe adjustments to pitch, resonance, intonation, and communication style.

  • Professional Voice Strain for Teachers, Performers, Executives, and Public Speakers — Repeated daily speaking in noisy or demanding environments can injure the voice without proper support and technique.

Many adults come to Brooklyn Letters after months or years of frustration, unsure where to turn or what their symptoms mean. Our clinicians provide expert guidance, compassionate care, and a clear path toward lasting improvement. No matter how long you’ve been struggling, your voice can heal—and we’re here to help you reclaim it with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Adult Voice Therapy

1. What is the difference between Voice Therapy and Speech Therapy?

Voice therapy is a specialized subset of speech-language pathology. While speech therapy addresses a broad range of communication issues (including articulation, language, and swallowing), voice therapy specifically focuses on improving the quality, pitch, loudness, and endurance of your vocal cords and laryngeal system.

2. How long does a course of voice therapy typically last?

The duration depends on the underlying cause and severity of the voice disorder, as well as patient commitment. Most patients with functional voice disorders or vocal nodules can achieve significant improvement within 8–12 sessions, meeting once or twice a week. Intensive programs like LSVT LOUD are fixed at 16 sessions over four weeks.

3. Do I need to see an ENT doctor before starting voice therapy?

Yes, for unexplained hoarseness lasting more than three weeks, it is strongly recommended that you be evaluated by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) physician (Otolaryngologist). They can diagnose the medical cause (e.g., nodules, vocal cord paralysis) through a laryngoscopy, which is necessary to ensure therapy is the appropriate treatment.

4. Is voice therapy painful?

No. Voice therapy is designed to reduce strain and discomfort. If you experience pain or increased strain during an exercise, the therapy technique will be immediately modified to ensure healthy, tension-free voice production.

5. What is the most important factor for therapy success?

Consistency. Brief but frequent daily home practice of the exercises and strategies provided by your therapist is essential. Voice therapy works by creating new, healthier muscle memory, which requires consistent repetition to replace old, harmful habits.

6. Do you treat the voice for professional speakers?

Absolutely. Our speech therapists work with vocal professionals—teachers, lawyers, executives, and clergy—to improve vocal projection, endurance, and stamina, ensuring they can use their voice for extended periods without fatigue or injury.

7. What should I do to improve my voice before my first session?

Focus on basic vocal hygiene:

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
  • Avoid Abuse: Limit shouting, whispering, and excessive throat clearing.
  • Rest: Rest your voice when you are sick or feel vocally fatigued.
  • Breathing Exercises: Practice slow, controlled breathing exercises to maximize your lung capacity.
