Join us for an introductory workshop on gender affirming voice care. This workshop is for people who would like to learn more about what the options are for modifying voice and communication for gender congruence. 

It covers what gender affirming voice work includes and how the voice works. You will be taught exercises to keep your voice healthy and do activities to explore your own voice throughout the session. 

Explorations will focus on changing things like vocal intonation, language, articulation, resonance, gestures and pitch and learning how these areas influence gender perception. Information about gender affirming voice and communication services available in our area will be shared. 

Adults and kids who are transgender, allies, providers, and people who want to learn more are welcome.

Presented by Louise Pinkerton, Speech-language pathologist, and University of Iowa graduate students studying speech-language pathology. For more information and to obtain the Zoom link, contact Louise Pinkerton, louise-pinkerton@uiowa.edu.
