Navigating Voice, Gender, & Anxiety

Have you ever felt anxious about how your voice relates to your gender as a trans, nonbinary, or gender non-conforming person? Does that anxiety affect you before speaking or during conversations? 

CWHC’s Voice Coaching program is offering a 3-week course to equip you with strategies to help you speak with ease and freedom, even when you feel anxious. Both a CWHC counselor and gender-affirming voice coach will guide you through a series of exercises you can use to: 

  • Gain vocal and therapeutic skills for finding vocal ease and regulating your emotions during moments of anxiety  

  • Build understanding and awareness of how voice and gender-related anxiety shows up for you  

  • Explore gender and vocal anxiety in a welcoming space with peers 

Navigating Gender, Voice, and Anxiety is a collaboration between CWHC’s Voice Coaching and Counseling programs. If you are experiencing severe anxiety around your voice or gender, you may benefit from individualized support. To learn about individual Voice Coaching, click here.
