The TALK Foundation gives chronically and terminally ill children the opportunity to express themselves through sound. Each child’s words, songs, laughs, cries and other audible forms of expression are recorded and mixed live by professional record producers and provided the children and their families on CDs. These recording sessions are conducted in accordance with procedures developed in consultation with leading child psychiatrists. The volunteer producers (and the actors, athletes and other volunteers who some times assist them) approach this task with both love and humanity. They recognize that each of these recordings is more precious than even the biggest hit songs, and they accept the challenge of making sure that each CD tells the child’s own story. The TALK Foundation is the creation of film composer, songwriter and record producer Megan Cavallari. Her passion for sound and her love of children inspire the work the TALK Foundation and the volunteers who strive to accomplish its missions.
