Get loud in a more masculine voice, General Track C, Friday, July 23, 2021, 2:15 - 3:15 pm
Speaking loudly can be a challenge for anyone with any type of speaking voice. If you are aiming to use more masculine-perceived voice patterns, with or without testosterone, you may experience difficulty being loud or maintaining a lower pitch and a richer tone when being loud. This hands-on workshop takes you through exercises for loud speaking and yelling, including warm-up exercises to maximize the vocal instrument. We will also discuss strategies for speaking over noise, talking on Zoom, rescuing the voice if problems arise, and deeper breathing/voicing while binding. Join us and feel the power of your voice and your words! Binary and non-binary welcome.
