Synopsis

Voice is a crucial, challenging, and often unguided (or misguided) aspect of transition for transgender and gender nonbinary folks. Each of us has a unique way of connecting with the world, but when that connection falls short it can leave us vulnerable. One Weird Trick is your personal voice training guide and includes information about voice and gender perception, vocal exercises, and tips to help you implement new voice and communication patterns in your daily life.
