Does This Sound Familiar?
You dread phone calls. You avoid small talk with cashiers. You stay quiet in meetings, even when you have something worth saying. Maybe you’ve tried free videos and apps, and sometimes you land on the sound you want, but it slips away the moment you’re in a real conversation.
You’re not alone, and it isn’t a matter of trying harder. Changing your voice is a skill, and skills are easier to learn with someone who understands both the mechanics and why it matters so much.
“The most difficult problem I had with voice training on my own was the myriad of resources on the internet. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and confused. Working with Prismatic helped me get on a path I understood and could stick with.” — Seren (she/her)
Why Prismatic Exists
Kevin Dorman, Owner and SLP

Kevin Dorman (they/them) grew up in Chapel Hill singing in auditioned choirs and a cappella groups, and spent six years working as a voice actor. When they were studying speech-language pathology, they saw how hard it was for trans people in North Carolina to find gender-affirming voice care, and how often trans clients had to educate their own providers. Kevin founded Prismatic Speech Services in 2016 to change that.
The idea was simple: voice care from clinicians who share their clients’ experiences, grounded in current research, and never built around cis-normative ideas of how anyone should sound. Nearly a decade later, Prismatic has grown to seven licensed clinicians serving clients online in 15+ states. Most of the team is queer, trans, or non-binary.
We specialize in two areas: gender-affirming voice training and rehabilitative voice therapy. Every session takes place online, so you can work with us from home, wherever you live in the states we serve.
