Transgender Voice Training

 

Find your congruent voice

Find your authentic voice and feel the security of gender-self congruence. You may be looking to develop your authentic voice through adjusting your pitch, intonation, articulation, body language, and gesture patterns. Or, you may be looking for gender congruent vocabulary and non-verbal communication. Whether you are MTF or FTM, before, during, or after transition, we can help. Through the process, we will help you discover authentic communication for your authentic Self in a gender-spectrum friendly and professional environment.  

Working Together

We understand that as a cisgender team, we will never fully understand the experience of a person who is transgender or gender non-conforming. So, our role is to learn as much as possible about your lived experience in order to understand your goals and your voice. Through radical acceptance, respect, curiosity, and unconditional positive regard, we will work as a team to explore and understand your voice needs and desires. Through this conscientious approach, we invite you to tell us the outcome you want and if you don't know, then we can learn and explore together. Everyone is different in their goals for their voice and we will support you until you find a voice that you love and that represents who you are.

The Steps

Establish your Ideal

You may know your ideal voice, or our work may be to find it. Either way, we will start by discussing and clarifying your goals.

Technical and emotional Work 

Piece by piece, we will work through the technical aspects of our work with time set aside to address the emotional component of this important work. 

Practice the New Way

Through scaffolded practice in a safe space, we can get you ready, help you to launch, and infuse your new voice throughout all your communications.

 

Training, Therapy or Coaching

Our work with people who are transgender, on the gender spectrum, or non-binary, can be called different things. Our services can be called transgender voice therapy, gender-spectrum voice and communication training, non-binary voice coaching, voice therapy training for someone who is transgender. In fact, there are so many creative ways to label the work that we do, so we are going to leave it up to you to call it what you like. Essentially, we help people - all people - to find a voice that is congruent with who they are and how they want to be seen in this world.
