What is nonbinary voice training?
Feb 21, 2024Hey there, it's Renée, and I'm a gender-affirming voice teacher! And today I'm talking about the fascinating world of nonbinary voice training. Buckle up because we're about to embark on a journey to uncover what exactly this entails and how I'm crafting a course tailored specifically for my fellow nonbinary pals.
So, what exactly is nonbinary voice training, you ask? Well, buckle up, because I'm about to break it down for you.
The Spectrum of Nonbinary Voice Goals
First off, it's crucial to understand that just like there's a kaleidoscope of nonbinary identities, there's also a diverse array of voice goals within the nonbinary community. Here are three broad categories I've identified:
1. Neutral/Androgynous
Picture a voice that dances gracefully between masculine and feminine, embodying the beautiful blend of both.
2. Gender Confusion
This category flips the script, aiming for a voice that defies societal norms and expectations, playing with contrast against visual cues like clothing and appearance.
3. Alien
For those who want to venture into uncharted territory, seeking a voice that defies conventional gender norms altogether, embracing a wholly unique voice.
Crafting the Course
So, how do we tackle such a diverse landscape of voice goals? Well, I'm glad you asked! In my upcoming course, I'll be delving into each of these categories, offering tailored guidance based on where you're starting from.
Navigating the Unknown
Honestly, as I sit down to plan this course, I'll admit, I'm feeling a bit like an explorer charting uncharted waters. Do I structure it like a traditional curriculum or opt for a more interactive, choose-your-own-adventure approach? The possibilities are endless, and I'm buzzing with excitement to dive in!
