Happy pride month! It's been a while since you've heard from me because I've been hiding away, diligently recovering from top surgery. I wanted to come back to work with a BANG so I thought that to celebrate pride month, I would have my longest sale ever. I've never had a 30-day sale before! Th...

If you've been following me for a while, or if you've been working on feminizing your voice for a while, then you already know that an important factor is to brighten resonance by making the vocal tract smaller by raising your larynx. If this is all new information for you, I highly recommend goi...

One of the things I try to relay to everyone I teach right from the beginning is that you are already an expert at modifying your voice. Humans change their voice all the time to suit different contexts. To better understand this, I want to share with you an exercise that will reveal your per-exi...

The other day, I held an office hour with students from my Trans Vocal Exploration e-course.

Some people resist starting a trans voice practice because they're adverse to silliness. It's too silly of a practice and it makes them feel shame or embarrassment.

In this post I want to introduce you to the concept of positive practice triggers. This is really important because a lot of times when we start practicing, the sound of the voice or any engagement with the voice at all can be connected to dysphoria, judgment, fear, and other negative things. Whe...

Today I want to talk about the difference between identity based goals and target based goals. A target based goal is when you have a target and you want to reach it. So, in the case of your trans voice practice, a target based goal might sound like "I want a more feminine voice." An identity ba...

I've had so many students come to me and say, "I just don't believe that I can make a change with my voice. Like, sure, other people can, but not me. I couldn't do it. I'm different, I'm the exception." If you happen to have this narrative in your head, I am here to tell you that there is not so...

When first starting out, it takes so much cognitive energy to create your target voice and it can feel totally unsustainable and like something you would never be able to do every day forever. The good news is that over time you will develop muscle memory, so that getting into your target voice b...
