About Our Team
Tallulah Breslin, M.S. CCC-SLP (she/they)
Tallulah's expertise:
-
Gender affirming voice care (speaking voice, workshops)
-
Voice, upper airway, and swallowing therapy
-
Voice feminization surgery-adjacent pre- and post-surgery voice training

Behavioral cough suppression therapy
Unsure what your goal voice is? Tallulah's targeted evaluation determines what your goal voice is, what voice recipe you're currently speaking in, and the differences between them. This allows you to narrow in quickly on what aspects of your voice to work on. Hearing the exact voice recipe you want is often the first step towards believing it's possible to find your own unique perfect sound.
It's vital that all voice practitioners know how to effectively, efficiently, accessibly, and inclusively teach gender affirming voice modification. Tallulah teaches gender affirming voice workshops for voice professionals seeking to expand their expertise.
Tallulah earned their bachelor's degree at Texas State University in Communication Disorders in 2008, and her master's degree from Purdue University in Speech, Language, and Hearing Science in 2010. Tallulah founded Harmonic Speech Therapy in 2020.

Research
Ari is part of our behind the scenes team, helping us turn raw data into analyzed, interpreted data sets that we use to make our care better. He can't help you with your voice, but he's happy to help you learn if you're taking our workshops for voice professionals.
Ari tried transitioning his voice with testosterone alone, but found that while his voice changed some, he wasn't happy with his voice quality. Once Ari graduated from Harmonic Speech happy with his voice, he wanted to help us our our mission to provide the best voice care we can. Ari has a background in research, and joined our research project to help us share our unique, well-tested, effective and efficient gender affirming voice techniques to the wider voice community.
