New Approach to Louder Voice with a Simple Guided Video Program.
If your voice has become softer, less clear, or more tiring, you are not alone.
Speak Steady was developed by Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, Jessica Ackerman MSCCC-SLP, also a Registered Yoga Teacher with a career of experience in Voice and Speech Therapy for neurologic impairments, including LSVT LOUD. Jessica's science-backed, proven results program aims to improve vocal loudness, breath support, and intelligibility of speech that impact communication effectiveness of people with Parkinson's Disease.
Communication is Life. What you have to say is important. There are effective ways to improve communication, conversation, and socialization where traditional voice therapy falls short. Speak Steady is more than a program, but a full package that improves voice loudness, speech intelligibility, memory, cognition, and communication effectiveness. Get back to communicating for LIFE.
