I'm thrilled to share that I was recently interviewed on the Straight Wife Trans Life podcast, hosted by Liese! In this episode, we dive into all things gender-affirming voice — from how I started teaching, to why I focus on trans and nonbinary voice work, to practical advice for anyone beginning their voice journey.

Whether you're transgender, nonbinary, or supporting a loved one on their journey, this conversation offers insights into the emotional and practical sides of voice exploration.

Listen to the full interview below:

In the interview, we talk about:

• The difference between working with a gender-affirming voice teacher versus a speech-language pathologist

• Common reasons people seek out voice training (like voice dysphoria or misgendering on the phone)

• How long voice training can take — and why every journey is unique

• Vocal hygiene tips for keeping your voice healthy

• Why fear of "hurting your voice" often stops people from starting — and why you don't have to be afraid to begin

I also guide Liese through one of my favourite starter exercises, the Key-Oh exercise, which helps reveal the incredible flexibility and range that already exists within your voice.

If you're curious about gender-affirming voice training, want to better support a loved one, or are just interested in learning more about how the voice can be shaped and celebrated, I hope you'll check it out!
