VOCAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
BY RYLAND SHELTON
TrueVoice is a vocal development program for the trans and non-binary community that utilizes musical instruction and technique to access and introduce new aspects of a person's voice, to illuminate possibility and create room for new habits as applied to a speaking voice that aligns more closely with one's self-identified gender. Safely, conscientiously, completely. Truly.
We use our voice every day of our lives, even before we could speak. The habits that usage has created - some intentional, some unintentional - are tough to get around, especially in the context of creating a voice that affirms gender identity and presents a gender other than that assigned at birth.
​
Music, however, is processed and produced in different ways than speech in our brains. For most people, musical vocal production is much less familiar, more vulnerable, more apt for experimentation, and so is a wonderful tool - with the right instruction - to discover aspects of your voice you never knew. Aspects that may hold the key to transitioning the gender presentation of your voice without losing your identity in the process; aspects that can unlock your true voice.
