Hi friend,
If you’re here, it’s likely that you are a transgender or non-binary person who wants to love and better understand your voice. If so, you’re in the right place!
Gender-affirming voice work (also called voice feminization, masculinization, and neutralization) doesn’t have to be a painful and complicated process.
I believe that voice work can be a beautiful mode of gender expression, just like choosing what to wear in the morning.
As a voice teacher with over 12 years of experience, my strength is explaining complicated concepts in plain language that anyone can understand, as well as anticipating student problems before they occur.
My course will walk you through everything you need to know in order to feel confident in your voice journey! ✨
Yes! I need this!

“I took private lessons with Renée for six months and it was one of my best transition decisions. I have tried for years to understand gender-affirming voice lessons from YouTube videos, and workshops, but all of them were beyond the scope of my understanding. Lessons with Renée helped me to understand how the wonderful vocal instrument works. With exercise and taking small steps along the way, I'm now confident I can climb this mountain and succeed."

I know what you're thinking...
$165 feels like kind of a lot! I get you! I was actually hesitant to even make this course at first because I felt weird asking people to pay this price.
But then I realized that the average private trans voice student pays $700+ during their time with me and they only get a fraction of what I'm offering in this course!
Let's do a quick comparison:

Our Commitment to Decolonization
This course was created and recorded on the unceded Indigenous land of Tiohtiá:ke or 'Montreal'. I and my team recognize that the Kanien’kehá:ka nation are the rightful custodians of this land. We stand in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island and commit to supporting the 94 Calls to Actions put forth by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. While this land acknowledgement may begin the process of reconciliation, it in no way stands as a replacement for the ongoing commitment and actions required to decolonize and reconcile with the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. With this in mind, a percentage of the profits of this course are donated to the Native Women's Association of Canada.

"Renée is so kind and fun to work with! They have a wonderful energy and try to make everyone feel included and comfortable. I never really knew what to do with my voice. I realized after taking T, I wanted to figure out what my voice was capable of since everything moved around. I'm glad to have a space to test out control of my voice and I have been inviting friends so they can get tips and tricks too. Thank you so much for this resource, it's been so helpful!"
Cricket, age 24 (he/they)
“I can say with absolute confidence that Renée’s Trans Vocal Exploration workshop was the best I've ever attended. Their commitment to making the material relevant and accessible to their audience, providing a perfect blend of theory and practice, as well as their dedication to anti-oppressive work particularly impressed me. Would definitely recommend Renée to anyone who asked.”
Julien Johnson, Drop-In & Youth Services Coordinator at Project 10
"The Trans Vocal Exploration workshop was very good and very fun! It was very helpful to discover vocal placements and understandings about 'more feminine and masculine voice'. For those who do not understand much about voice and vocal fold dynamics, it is an incredible conversation. For those who already understand, it is super complementary!"
Yann Cerri, age 26 (they/them)
"I had a great time in Trans Vocal Exploration! It was a fun and informative. They went through very simple exercises that really showed me how much control I already have over my voice, so I feel confident about playing and experimenting with it in the future."
Iris, age 28 (she/her)
"Renée is a really engaging and entertaining teacher. I'm just at the beginning of my journey and I feel like Trans Vocal Exploration gave me the tools I need to push myself in the right direction!"
Sophie, age 24 (she/her)
"Trans Vocal Exploration is really great! I think it’s especially great for people that don’t know anything about voice. I have 2 music comp degrees so I know a fair amount about sound and it’s been great to apply that knowledge and your approaches/exercises to control my own voice better. Plus you’re super fun and you make the lessons really enjoyable and short. My biggest aha moment was the nasality exercise because I never had a good way of telling if I was being nasal vs bright!"
Aeryn, Trans Vocal Exploration student
“Trans Vocal Exploration has been unexpectedly healing. Creating the little craft for my name and giving myself some love with the warm up has opened my eyes to myself. I'm very excited about what's to come. I have already experienced a greater awareness of myself and the way I use my voice every day.”
Riley, Trans Vocal Exploration student
“Trans Vocal Exploration helped me to understand resonance and see how much of an impact it has compared to pitch. It gave me hope to be able to have variation and still pass! I loved the actual working tips and the help with the mentality.”
Alex, Trans Vocal Exploration student
“I love the warm ups! I haven’t done vocal warm ups since choir pre-HRT in college, and forgot how much my range has changed. Since beginning the course I have experienced a more steady sounding voice.”
Marcelo, Trans Vocal Exploration student
“I found this course very helpful. It especially clicked when Renée talks about vocal fold mass, it makes a big difference towards where I want my voice to be.”
Juno, Trans Vocal Exploration student
“The sections in this course on bouncing vs. barking and on finding my standard range and the limits of my range were really helpful! I'm still working on integrating ideas into my day-to-day, but this is a great first step of getting information.”
Anders, Trans Vocal Exploration student
"I've been enjoying Trans Vocal Exploration. I thought I was getting a voice lesson only, but it came with a side of yoga =) I seriously love the stretching and warm ups. Having a good routine helps me a lot! It's nice to have all the structure involved so far and I remind myself that even though I may not be close to my target voice yet, all the work adds up.”
Erica, Trans Vocal Exploration student
"Trans Vocal Exploration is bringing a lot of things to light that I didn't know! I'm finding the exploration of the different voices we use in different contexts helpful. I've been examining my own voice in different scenarios and starting to notice the qualities I like in other voices and trying to emulate them. I've already experienced awareness of my own voice in different contexts, ability to mimic a few sounds from my "target" voices, and dropping my pitch because I'm thinking about my voice more."
Rae, Trans Vocal Exploration student
“I had so many ah-ha moments during this course: learning about the importance of resonance, visualizing the parts of the vocal tract as I speak, thinking about inflection and listening for the drop. Since beginning the course I have been able to maintain target resonance more consistently as it's easier to move the muscles physically in the correct way.”
Sophie, Trans Vocal Exploration student
“I'm enjoying Trans Vocal Exploration. I feel like I've developed some pitch and resonance control and really just need to strengthen my muscles to keep it up because my voice gets tired right now and starts to drop as a result. Overall I think I'm at the point of also trying to get it to sound more natural as well which I'm sure will come with practice.”
Melanie, Trans Vocal Exploration student
“I really liked Renée’s ways of breaking down pitch, weight, and resonance for non-singers or at least for non-vocal-science nerds :) I hope I remember them when I'm teaching! I also loved the cognitive load suggestions, especially Scattergories. Excellent to have the emphasis on habit development and repetition, something I think is hard to overstate for students of all kinds.”
Erin (she/her), soprano, voice teacher, stage director, on taking Trans Voice Basics
"Inflection really let me know how fem my voice already is and how much further I can take it! So far I've noticed that with slight changes I can reach my target voice, I just need to hone and practice to make them more easy to pull off.”
Olivia, Trans Vocal Exploration student
"I love it! As an SLP specializing in gender-affirming voice care, a gender fluid person myself, and a musical theatre voice teacher/singer, I love to study new approaches to this interesting subject :)”
Bram, Trans Vocal Exploration student
"Honestly, it’s been really helpful to see how much I already know that can be applied to feminizing my voice. I’ve had some vocal lessons, and I’ve done some yoga practice that’s emphasized stretching and breathing in a healthy way, and it’s really encouraging to know that that experience can be an asset to me in this process.”
Sylvie, Trans Vocal Exploration student
