Gender affirming voice training

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you wish to work on your voice and prefer to do so in English!

The sound of our voice can be an important part of our identity and influences how others see us. Voice modification can be important for some people to feel more comfortable with their voice. Voice modification training can be an important step in this process and refers to consciously changing the sound of the voice as desired.

Gender affirming voice modification training can help you in finding and developing your own voice. We can support you with various exercises to train those structures that are needed to change the sound of your voice and work towards your individual goals and personal needs. Our training approach is focused on supporting and accompanying you on your gender affirming journey.

 Our goal is for you to feel comfortable and safe with your voice and experience it as one way to show your authentic self.

Therapy
