Gender Affirming Voice Training for Every Budget: Here's how to get started!
So you’ve decided to start gender affirming voice training.
Now what?!
There are so many options for ways to learn vocal feminization or vocal masculinization. So below, I’m going to share different options for voice training, no matter what your budget is.
No Budget Voice Training Options
If you don’t have any budget for voice training, luckily, we have the internet!
There are so many wonderful free resources online that offer tips, exercises, and advice on the best ways to modify the voice.
YouTube
On YouTube, there are many creators that offer different teaching styles. You’ll be able to find shorter, to the point videos right alongside more scientific ones.

TikTok
TikTok is a great resource for bite size information. Many creators answer questions and give tips and tricks that can be helpful in the moment.

Reddit is another wonderful resource, and a great way to build community. There are many trans voice subreddits where you can learn from others, share recordings to get feedback, and feel connected to people who are going through the same process.
Pros
Access information from anywhere
Learn from different teachers
Endless information
Free
Cons
No individual feedback on your training
No accountability
Piecing together different information
Low Budget Voice Training Options
E-Courses
An e-course is a great way to learn vocal feminization, vocal masculinization, or vocal neutralization.
In an e-course, all the information you’re learning is all in one place. You can learn at your own pace, in your own time, and you can focus on one teacher’s methodology.
Pros
All information in one place
Learn at your own pace
Access info from your own home
Low cost
Cons
No accountability
No one-on-one feedback
Group Classes
Group classes are a great budget-friendly option for voice training. My group classes are small, so you can connect with others going through the same process.
Pros
Build community with others in the class
Individual feedback
Get to watch other students learn
Cons
Less individual feedback than in private lessons
Higher Budget Voice Training Options
Private lessons are the gold standard for voice training. Having one-on-one feedback from a gender affirming voice teacher can help you reach your goals more quickly than if you’re trying to do it alone.
Pros
Individual feedback
Weekly accountability
Ability to ask questions
Work toward your unique voice with a professional
Summary
There are options for voice training no matter what your budget. Hope this helps you find what works best for you! :)
