The Importance of Gender-Affirming Voice Training

Our voice is a huge part of who we are. Through our voices, we cannot only communicate and express ourselves, but it is also a huge part of how we channel our personalities and gender identifications. Often certain people don’t think about the way our voice signifies us as people, and how much it can mean to how we identify. Yet having a voice that doesn’t match how you feel as a person can take a large toll on you. This problem is especially seen in the transgender community. For many transgender people having a voice that doesn’t identify with their gender can lead to stress, anxiety, or even depression. There have even been cases where some transgender people go mute, due to how uncomfortable they feel about their voices.

At Professional Voice Care Center, we understand how important it is to have a voice that makes you feel confident and comfortable to be the person that you are. Our mission is to “ create and restore excellent voices”, and we do this by working closely with each of our clients to provide them with voices, and vocal tips dedicated just to them. We work with anyone from singers to teachers, and also offer gender-affirming voice training in New York. 

How Voice Therapy Helps to Develop Your Voice:

Though many people try to change their voices on their own, it is not a very good idea at all. This is because you can either hurt your voice or in the worst-case scenarios even end up losing it. Going to voice therapy is always a better option because we can teach you how to adjust your voice without damaging it. At the Professional Voice Care Center’s gender-affirming voice training in New York you can expect to work on: 

• Resonance: This is the quality of sound that your voice produces such as being deep, and full.
• Pitch: How high or low you would like your voice to sound.
• Volume: How loud you speak
• Rate: This involves working on how fast or slow you speak
• At voice training, you can also work communication skills such as the words you use, how clearly you say things and social rules of communication.
