Voice and Gender Affirming Care at Sound

Written By Jody Vaynshtok

Your voice is part of your identity. For many trans and gender-diverse individuals, finding a voice that aligns with who they are can be life-changing. At Sound, we offer gender affirming voice care that is personalized, respectful, and rooted in science and empathy.

We work with clients to explore pitch, resonance, vocal quality, and nonverbal communication (like facial expression and gesture) in a safe and supportive space. Our sessions are paced to your comfort level and goals. Whether you’re seeking a subtle change or a full transformation, our clinicians are trained and experienced in helping people find the voice that feels right. We believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and celebrated—just as they are.
