A speech pathologist and a voice teacher work live with Cory, a trans masculine singer, on pitch, resonance and stability through testosterone.

Ever wondered how to serve a transgender student in the studio? In this session, speech-language pathologist Kathe Perez lays out the elements she trains for voice modification — pitch, voice quality, loudness, resonance, articulation, phrasing and pacing, inflection, and fluency — with target ranges for trans feminine and trans masculine speakers. She then works live with Cory, a trans masculine singer, explaining how testosterone changed his vocal fold tissue and caused asymmetric vibration, and demonstrating warm-ups, tongue stretches for proprioception, downward inflection, and flow exercises. Voice teacher Mary Ann Kehler follows with Cory on sustained-tone work and college audition repertoire. Practical and candid, for teachers who want real-world grounding.
