Gender Affirming Voice Training

What is gender affirming voice training?

Gender affirming voice training is a non-surgical approach to shifting and changing aspects of the voice that are recognized as gender-specific.

This voice training helps folks find the voice that is truest to their gender expression and empowers them to speak confidently.  

Why a speech-language pathologist?

Our voice is not just sound. It is a comprehensive and complex system of brain function, nerve control, muscular movements, and sound production. Speech-language pathologists spend a great deal of time studying these systems independently and their interconnectedness to produce voice.
