Alison Gripentrog specializes in disorders of the adult speaking and singing voice. She brings to her practice a life-long passion for the health and versatility of the voice—as well as two decades as a professional singer and actor.

Alison graduated with her Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology from UNC Greensboro after completing a graduate internship at Wake Forest Baptist Voice Care Center. After graduation, Alison continued providing voice care with Eastern Carolina ENT – Head and Neck Surgery both in person and via online platforms. She currently provides comprehensive care in the acute/ICU hospital setting in addition to her work with Blue Ridge Speech and Voice.

Her vocal career has included operas, musical theater, chamber choirs, and straight plays. She keeps in touch with professional vocalists’ daily demands by remaining active in the live performance community of her native Asheville, NC.

“Voice is identity, and the ability to shape, explore, and luxuriate in your own voice is powerful,” Alison explains. “I have already spent two decades getting joy from exploring my own voice, and I love helping others regain the joy of using their own voices. I’ll happily do this for at least two more decades!”

If your voice is limiting your ability to work, communicate with friends and family, or causing physical discomfort please reach out for a consultation with Alison by emailing her here.
