Transgender Singing Lessons: Find Your Authentic Voice

For many transgender individuals, the voice is a vital part of identity and self-expression. Singing is a joyful way to explore your voice, build confidence, and connect with your authentic self.

Whether you are just starting to explore singing, are an experienced singer eager to sing in your new voice, or already feel confident in your speaking voice but want guidance for singing, our approach helps you develop a healthy, authentic, and confident singing voice while protecting your vocal health.

Our expert online voice therapists and vocal singing coaches, work collaboratively with transgender clients worldwide (except USA, Canada, and the Caribbean), helping you safely develop both your speaking and singing voice.

What do transgender singing lessons involve?

Our lessons follow a three-step, personalized approach to help you develop a confident and authentic singing voice:

Step 1: Voice Feminisation Training (12 sessions)

• With our expert voice therapist, you’ll work on pitch, resonance, intonation, rate and volume

• Builds a strong foundation for both speaking and singing

Step 2: Bespoke Collaborative Expert Singing & Voice Session (1 session)

• A bespoke, collaborative session with our expert voice therapist and singing coach

• Uses the same methods, terminology, and bespoke learning styles from your voice training sessions with our voice therapists.

• Supports the natural transition of your trained speaking voice into singing

Step 3: Ongoing Singing Coaching (4-6 sessions)

• Continued sessions with our singing coach to refine technique and build performance skills

• Focuses on vocal stamina, repertoire, expression, and integrating your authentic voice

• Personalized progression at your own pace, ensuring long-term vocal health

• You are welcome to continue singing lessons beyond this period as many people enjoy the sessions.

This approach is suitable for:

• New singers exploring both speaking and singing in their authentic voice

• Experienced singers transferring pre-transition skills into their post-transition voice

• Clients confident in their speaking voice who want guidance to sing safely and confidently

How do I learn to sing in my new voice after transitioning?

Learning to sing in your new voice takes expert guidance, practice, and a healthy approach. We help you:

• Build on the techniques from your voice training to safely sing in your authentic voice

• Gain a clear understanding of how to access and work with thin vocal folds.

• Receive targeted exercises to develop their middle voice (Mix Voice) and explore ways to extend their upper head register.

• Learn practical techniques for breath control and posture alignment to support healthy vocal production.

• Begin working towards a personalised warm-up routine designed to lighten and feminise the voice over the coming weeks.

• Use singing exercises to refine and enrich your vocal tone.

Our bespoke, collaborative approach combines the expertise of a voice therapist and our vocal coach, so your singing voice grows naturally from your trained speaking voice.

How many sessions will it take to learn to sing in my new voice?

It will take around 4-6 sessions following the joint collaborative session.

Can I take singing lessons if I’m confident in my speaking voice?

Yes! Many clients already feel confident speaking but want expert guidance to sing safely and effectively. We tailor lessons to your experience, helping you refine your technique, build stamina, and expand your repertoire.

Can transgender singing lessons be done online?

Absolutely! All lessons are online, making it easy for clients internationally (except USA, Canada, and the Caribbean) to work with our team.

How do you feminise your Voice ? It's not all about pitch.

Its not all about pitch

Sometimes the assumption of sounding more feminine is to focus on a higher pitched voice. However, a women’s voice is not only a higher-pitched version of a man’s voice. If we only focus on pitch, it is unlikely that you will be satisfied with the results of your therapy. In order to raise your pitch, we also need to change other aspects of your voice and speech. For natural-sounding speech we need to focus upon your intonation, resonance and other aspects to achieve a natural higher pitch. It’s important that you are able to use a flexible feminine voice that matches your personality and lifestyle, in a variety of situations.

What will happen in Voice Feminisation sessions?

Aside from pitch, we will be focusing upon:

Stress and intonation: Stress is often conveyed by using a higher pitch or louder intensity. Intonation patterns are pitch changes at the sentence level. Subtle differences in intonation patterns might hint at the speakers gender so its important to work on these aspects.

Resonance: Resonance amplifies sound and is often referred as projection in voice. We want to diminish the ‘chest’ sound that is often identified with the male voice.

Articulation: we focus on patterns for vowels and consonants that females produce that can be imitated in MTF voice training.

Volume: We might focus on reducing the loudness of your voice

Therapy is like building blocks – we build your voice together gradually. It takes practice and you will be given bespoke exercises after your sessions. The more you practice, the more natural it will feel.

Trans* Voice - Tips for learning and exploring your voice

In therapy you will be exploring your voice. Repetition outside the clinic room is important to change. It is comparable to going to the gym for your voice. You are developing flexibility and freedom for your voice. When learning and exploring try to:

Be Playful – try out new things

Be Mindful – notice without judging

Be Curious – use all of your sense to explore your voice

Be Imaginative – find your own images, hand gestures to support exercises

Be Positive

Be Regular – Be creative about when and where you practice – little and often.

Be Patient – Let things develop and transfer to situations that are easiest first

Be Reflective – record your voice, keep a diary

Be Sociable – try to step out of solo practice into getting support from others
