Making Noise: A Free Masterclass on Improvisation and Gender-Affirming Voice

live events May 07, 2025
Making Noise: Improvisaty

Voice training can sometimes feel serious. Structured. Goal-oriented.

But over the years, I’ve learned that some of the biggest vocal breakthroughs don’t come from rigid drills or perfect practice. They come from play. From curiosity. From making noise.

That’s why I’m so excited to invite you to a free class I’m offering in collaboration with Seattle Voice Lab:

Making Noise: Improvisation as a Tool for Gender-Affirming Voice

🗓 Saturday, May 31st
2 PM PDT / 5 PM EDT
🆓 Free, 45-minute interactive class

Why improvisation?

When we let go of the pressure to sound a certain way, we start to uncover the actual range our voices are capable of.

This masterclass is a low-pressure, interactive space where we’ll use improvisation as a tool to:

  • Build vocal flexibility

  • Increase self-awareness

  • Develop confidence in your expressive voice

What we’ll explore together

We’ll play with two of my favourite exercises:

🗣 The Voice Audit

This gentle awareness practice helps you notice the different voices you already use throughout your day—without even thinking about it.

🎶 The Sound Journal

This is where things get playful. You’ll be encouraged to make silly, expressive, unexpected sounds, using improvisation as a way to expand your comfort zone and shake loose any vocal rigidity.

What to bring

To get the most out of this session, I recommend:

  • Comfortable clothes you can move and breathe in

  • A private space (if possible) so you can really let go

  • Something to take notes with (pen & paper or a notes app)

  • An open mind and a willingness to try things that might feel a little goofy at first

Who is this class for?

Anyone on a gender-affirming voice journey—whether you’re exploring feminization, masculinization, neutralization, or something else entirely. All voices welcome.

This class is especially great if you:

  • Feel stuck in your voice practice

  • Want to connect to your voice in a more joyful, embodied way

  • Are looking for new tools beyond the typical “pitch and resonance” exercises

Ready to make some noise?

I’d love for you to join me. Let’s explore what your voice can do when it’s free to play.
