Rebecca Miles Risser, M.M., M.A., CCC-SLP

Rebecca Miles Risser, M.M., M.A., CCC-SLP, is a voice/speech pathologist who specializes in treating the professional voice, including the singing voice. In her work, she combines her passion for treating impaired voices with her extensive background as a singer and voice teacher. She has successfully treated a range of professional voices as well as non-professional voices, and works closely with the otolaryngologists at Northside ENT as well as numerous other otolaryngologists, pulmonologists and asthma/allergy specialists in Central Indiana. Rebecca has presented at Indiana Speech Hearing Association conventions and the Indiana Voice and Dysphagia Network Association, as well as to the Indianapolis Symphony Chorus, Butler University, Purdue University, Ball State University and multiple public/private school singing groups in the Central Indiana region.

Rebecca completed her B.A. in Fine Arts at Judson College in Elgin, Illinois in 1987, and her Master of Music in Performance and Pedagogy at Northern Illinois University in 1990. She returned for her Masters of Speech Language Pathology, and graduated from Indiana University in 2000.

As a speech language pathologist, Rebecca devotes her time exclusively to the evaluation and treatment of voice disorders, including not only a large caseload of singers and other voice professionals, but also neurological, degenerative and non-organic voice disorders. An avid singer, she enjoys singing with community organizations and finds time to perform each year. Rebecca is married to Dr. Jerry Risser, DVM, and is the proud mommy to Jameson, Laine and Lydia Risser.

About Performance Voice

At Performance Voice Solutions, we offer the following services:

Our Voice Evaluation includes a comprehensive case history review, objective voice measures and a perceptual assessment of vocal techniques and patterns the patient uses for speech and/or singing.

Vocal Recording and Analysis includes quantification of the voice signal with respect to pitch, loudness, quality and variability as well as measurement of acoustic parameters

Voice Therapy is similar to slow-motion photography of the vocal folds. It is a method of evaluating the vocal folds under both halogen (static) and xenon (strobe) lights.

Voice Therapy is best described as physical therapy for the voice. Voice therapy strengthens and rebalances the voice through exercises and speaking/singing techniques in order to regain an individual’s best vocal quality.
