Join transgender voice teachers Eli Conley and Peter Fullerton to learn about the effects of testosterone therapy on the singing voice! Together, Eli and Peter have over 25 years’ combined experience working with trans singers. At this training you’ll learn about the stages of voice change that occur during the first few years of testosterone therapy, some common challenges for singers going through this vocal transition, and learn exercises and strategies for supporting them during and after their voice drop. We'll compare transgender transition with testosterone to the voice change that happens during cisgender male puberty (hint: they are very similar!), and look at several case studies featuring singers re-learning how to use their instrument in their new lower range. The end of the session features an open question and answer period with the participants.
This info session is for singing teachers, choral directors, speech-language pathologists, trans voice coaches, and other voice educators who work with singers. We welcome practitioners who are currently working with transgender, nonbinary, and/or intersex singers who take testosterone, as well as folks who would like to be prepared for when they do.
New to working with trans, nonbinary, and intersex folks?
We're glad you're here! Please note that this is not a trans 101 session for voice educators. So before attending this session, we highly encourage you to read Advocates for Trans Equality's Trans 101 Resources, and Eli Conley's essay Creating Gender Liberatory Singing Spaces. You can find more in-depth resources for music educators at Blurring the Binary: Teaching Transgender Students in the Music Classroom.
