Leave with so much gained!
Here are folx top take aways from voice lessons.
Becoming more confident in my everyday voice, gaining more control over my pitch/resonance, and being able to point to Quinn as a resource for others!
-M.G.
1. My voice actually sounds like what I want it to sound like.
2. I feel more confident when speaking/singing.
3. I have gained tools I can use and experiment with even when not taking lessons.
-J.M.
Because of Quinn's voice lessons, I'm more confident when I talk to people. I think it's because I enjoy the sound of my voice inside my head more than I used to, so talking is less of a chore. I'm overall more relaxed as a result of these voice lessons because Quinn helped me relax muscles I didn't even know existed! I'm way happier in general. Quinn's lessons helped me broaden my vocal range to be more flexible so I have more control over my gender expression!

1. Increased control and comfort with my new range after testosterone,
2. Feeling connected to my body,
3. Letting go/releasing tension is the key, rather than pushing or stressing your vocal folds.

I am capable of having my voice sound the way I'd like it to sound.
