Gender Affirming Voice & Communication:

Your voice plays a distinct role in self-expression. Voice and communication style are powerful tools in defining yourself and how others view you. Cynthia will help you find a voice and communication style that is authentic, acceptable and automatic. If you don’t like your voice, you can change it. Overall vocal health will be a high priority throughout the training process in order to provide clients with adequate vocal endurance. A perceptual-acoustic voice evaluation will be conducted to determine exact pitch and pitch range, as well as resonance and intonation patterns. Individualized communication profiles will be completed and personal preferences / goals for communication behaviors to adopt will be identified. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) guidelines will be referenced. 

Cynthia has been recognized and interviewed as an expert in gender-affirming voice training:
