What Do Voice Clinicians Actually Do to Change a Voice?
Workshop Description
Voice modification is a nuanced marriage of science and art. This presentation will provide participants with foundational information about the anatomy and physiology of voice, and voice and speech science as it relates to voice modification. I will share some of the many tools that voice clinicians provide their clients in order to develop their personal sound and align their voice and communication with wherever they identify along the gender spectrum.
