These are two clips that a student in my online course, Trans Vocal Exploration, shared with me. Sounds like a before and after, right? Here’s the thing - these clips were recorded...

I've been away for the past month, but my little elves behind the scenes have been busy creating and uploading trans voice TikToks to tide you over until I return. Below you'll find time-stamps for this month's TikToks. Enjoy! 00:00 – It’s time to Practice! Mad Gab01:21 – Vocal Anatomy: The Lary...
