Room #204 The voice is considered by some as one of the most important elements in the transition of transgender individuals. While the goal of gender-affirming voice therapy is to guide you to achieve your most authentic voice we need to broaden the focus to include every aspect of communication. Intonation, rate, articulation, non-verbal aspects and even language elements are areas that should also be included in a comprehensive therapy program. Today we will not only explore our vocal pitch but also other ways to recast our communication to better agree with our gender identity.
