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 ISHA conventions and the Indiana Voice and Dysphagia Association, as well as to the Indianapolis Symphony Chorus, 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.
