Voice and Speech Training 
for Transgender and Nonbinary Folks

Stay tuned for 
One Weird Trick classes coming soon!


​Voice and Speech Training for Transgender and Gender Nonbinary Folks

Voice can be one of the most challenging aspects of transition, but our goal is to help make voice training as easy, fun, and personal:
  • In live online classes, you'll learn basic techniques and how to perform exercises.
  • In groups and forums, you'll be able to ask questions and set up group sessions to practice your new skills with peers. 
  • In private one-on-one lessons​, you'll be able to track your progress and be sure that the exercises are working for you.

OWT VIP Program

I want to be heard and seen authentically, and I'm fed up with my voice getting in the way of my communication. I need to be able to speak at work or in other parts of my life without people being distracted by my voice. I have tried DIY methods, but nothing has worked and I want an expert to walk me through the process of changing my voice so that I can get real results, now. 

VIP programs are perfect for folks who are eager for total vocal support, personally tailored to your needs, supplemented by connections to other transition-related services.

VIPs typically engage in this program for 3-6 months, depending on your goals and progress. Each VIP gets an individually tailored program that aligns with your goals and voice transition timeline.
