Vocal FEminization Group Classes
Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment through the power of your voice? My 8-Week Vocal Feminization Group Class is the key to unveiling the most authentic and confident version of yourself.
Our next group classes will begin Thursday, February 1, 2024 (evening), and Friday, February, 2, 2024 (daytime).
Here's why you can't miss this opportunity:
Week 1 - Build the Foundations
Learn proper vocal hygiene, how to breathe to support your new voice, and how to warm up your voice for maximum efficiency and ease. You’ll also learn the basics of vocal anatomy.
Week 2 - Find Your Feminine Resonance
Feminine resonance is arguably the most important facet of vocal feminization. In week 2, you’ll learn to change the placement of your resonance, how to feel the difference, how to hear the difference in voices you hear.
Week 3 - Brighten Your Vowels
Week 3 is all about changing the shape of the vocal tract to achieve a brighter, more feminine sound quality. This week, you will become aware of how your vocal mechanism works to create colors in the voice, what your habits are.
Week 4 - Master Your Pitch and Intonation
Discover your current pitch range, learn about feminine perceived pitch ranges (and why you should take them with a grain of salt), and understand and implement different intonation patterns.
Express your voice with confidence!
Olivia is an expert instructor who will guide you through a journey of self-discovery, tailored to feminizing your voice and empowering your true expression.
Week 5 - Practice
Review resonance, pitch, and intonation. There will be time to ask questions, learn from your peers, and practice with partners.

“Olivia has many qualities that make her an excellent instructor. Patience, kindness, and sense of humor are chief among them. You will feel respected and comfortable around her. Her musical knowledge and talent, as well as her voice training experience, allow her to instruct on the mechanics of finding and using your voice. When a problem arises she is eager to find a solution. The process certainly worked for me; I would highly recommend her as an instructor!”
Confidentiality
Confidentiality and trust are of the utmost importance during this process. All group classes take place via Zoom, which means that you’re able to work on your voice from the comfort of your own space. I will not record our sessions.
“Working with Olivia was a true pleasure. She is a kind teacher who worked with me to reach my voice goals. Starting out I was anxious about the changes in my voice and how people would react. With Olivia’s patient teaching I have been able to find joy in developing my true voice and using it.”
What can i expect from my first group class?
In our first class, we’ll take some time to break the ice and share a little about ourselves. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable and supported throughout these 8 weeks. If you’d rather not share, that’s okay, too!
Next we’ll talk through the curriculum and start going through vocal hygiene, warmups, and breath.
“I worked with Olivia for about a year. I’m trans and wanted my voice to line up more with who I am and wanted to work with a coach who was familiar with trans clients. When I started working with her, I’d had voice training previously, but had lost a lot of ground and gotten really out of practice. Olivia is a fantastic teacher and listened to my questions, and was able to provide detailed answers, feedback, and showed me how to consistently apply the principles we were working on. I am much more confident with how my voice sounds now, and I’m more aware of how people form and shape their voices. I’d recommend working with Olivia to anyone starting out and looking for a really excellent coach or to anyone returning after they’ve taken a break or been unable to practice.”

“I started seeing Olivia via Zoom in July. My voice was not passing at all and I heard of some people developing bad habits that can hurt their vocal cords through YouTube voice feminization videos. While it took a few months for me to start training my voice to hit different tones and resonance, and I definitely was frustrated early on (why wouldn’t my voice improve dramatically after several hours of lessons with very little practice in between?!). So I started practicing more outside of lessons and finally found the time to do the homework that Olivia instructed me to do. She would review the recordings I sent to her before the meeting and provided valuable feedback.
Since my last session about a year ago, I’ve only been misgendered once on the phone that wasn’t due to my deadname. I highly recommend Olivia as not only is she a very effective teacher, she’s also funny and interesting to talk to! My advice is to seriously follow her homework as much as you can! I noticed a drastic change in the rate of improving my voice after I made time :). ”
