This group is for anyone in the gender diverse community who would like a space to practice and/or further explore making changes to their voice in a supportive group setting. After this initial meeting, we hope to make this a regularly scheduled recurring group with drop-in enrollment.
Groups are open to any gender expansive folks who have explored making gender affirming changes to their voice and communication either on their own or with the guidance of an SLP or voice coach. You do not have to have previously participated in one on one voice therapy at speech IRL.
