Specialisations

These specialisations are in addition to the usual topics I can teach regarding feminisation and masculinisation. They are advanced topics or special cases I account for outside of the typical "change weight, resonance and pitch" paradigm.

Feel free to ask about any of these topics or request a checkup to see if you need help in any of these areas. I often offer free lessons to anyone suffering from vocal function issues in particular (provided they are within my ability and I am legally allowed to help).

Weight and Pitch

• Pitch naturalisation for reducing vocal weight without becoming breathy or quiet
• Reducing "stress" or resistance when raising pitch
• Range expansion
• Mechanism (m1/m2 or head/chest) blending
• Fixing edge case problems such as if using covers to fake light weight, or using pressed phonation or fry mix to fake heavy weight

Closure and Volume

• Getting loud without becoming heavy or "shouty"
• Getting better clarity and removing breathiness
• Stronger posture and higher closure for creating consistent and confident sounding voices

Closure Balance

• Fixing hollow or dull qualities caused by low IA
• Rebalancing closure imbalances that cause rough, hollow or crackly qualities
• Removing false fold constriction (FVF)
• Dealing with hyperadduction

Vocal Hygiene

Disclaimer: many of these things could constitute a reason to see an SLP. If you have vocal health issues and are concerned, an SLP is better equipped (and allowed) to help you with those.

• Strategies for strain and muscle tension habits
• Changing attitude or approach to training for better rate of progress
• Exercises for retraining issues with phonation such as hard or constricted onsets, loss of closure
