Description
This practical guide explains how voice and communication therapy can help transgender and non-binary individuals find their authentic voice. Written by two specialist speech and language therapists, the book provides a thorough account of the process, from understanding the vocal mechanism to assimilating new vocal skills and new vocal identity into everyday situations.
Insider accounts from trans and gender diverse individuals who have explored or are exploring voice and communication related to their gender expression are also featured, providing a unique insight into the experiences of creating and maintaining a voice that feels true to them.
With exercises to change pitch, resonance, and intonation, this guide is a valuable resource for trans and non-binary individuals interested in working towards achieving a different, more authentic voice, as well as for speech and language therapists, voice coaches, and healthcare professionals.
