Voice modification/expansion training
At Southern Sydney Voice Therapy, we support individuals seeking to feminise, masculinise, or broaden their vocal expression. Using evidence-based techniques, we design each program around your unique goals. We are committed to providing a safe, affirming, and respectful space for learning and exploration. All sessions are delivered by a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist so you can develop your voice confidently and safely.
Voice assessment
Prior to beginning vocal training, we complete a thorough assessment of your voice to help understand your voice and your personal goals. This involves:
- A discussion about you and your voice such as any previous training, vocal health, voice use and what you would like to achieve from the vocal training.
- Perceptual voice analysis - the Speech Pathologist will listen to features of your voice such as pitch, loudness resonance and vocal quality.
- Acoustic analysis - we record your voice and analyse its acoustic properties using specialised software.
