What is TG/TS Voice and Communication Therapy?
It is now understood and accepted by the community that one of the greatest challenges in the MtF or FtM transition process is consolidating voice and communication with the physical appearance. Much like a fingerprint, your presentation through voice and communication is your “acoustic imprint” – and many times, you are heard before you are seen. TG/TS voice and communication therapy is NOT for vocal pitch alone. Our program addresses all 4 aspects of gender-specific communication and voice, including:
- VOICE (pitch, breath support, intonation, rate of speech, volume)
- LINGUISTIC (choice of vocabulary, types of sentences)
- NON-VERBAL (body posturing, facial expressions)
- COMMUNICATION STYLE (role in communication exchange, phrasing, listening)
