Free voice workshop in May (new date!)

April 9, 2025 Christie Block

On Thursday, May 1, 2025, 6:30 - 8:00 pm, I will lead a free gender-affirming voice workshop for anyone who is modifying their voice or curious about making voice changes. We will try out some techniques together, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions and share your voice experiences. We will discuss healthy voice habits and tips for practice and lasting change in real life. Open to all gender identities and gender presentations.

This workshop is in person in Queens NY. It is part of the Transcend event series of LGBT Network, which occurs monthly to provide resources and support for the transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary community. https://lgbtnetwork.org/transcend/

Free assertiveness workshop at online conference

May 27, 2022 Christie Block

I am proud to be presenting a workshop at the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference again this year. It is ONLINE and FREE. If you’d like to attend, be sure to register for the “General Track” of the conference, select my session, along with any other sessions, to ensure yourself a space, and follow the conference directions on how to connect virtually. This is a great chance to practice your skills and connect with others. I hope you join us! Here is the session description:

Building communication skills for assertiveness and self-advocacy, General Track E, Saturday, July 23, 2022, 2:15 - 3:15 pm EST

What does it mean to speak confidently? How do we actually look and sound? What kinds of words do we use? This hands-on workshop covers tools for using face, posture, voice, and language in a manner that conveys confidence and assertiveness. We will discuss various ways to say things and apply it appropriately to your own challenges in work, school, social, and/or microaggressive situations. You will have the opportunity to practice how to sound and what to say in a way that works for you. Open to all gender identities and gender presentations.
