Affirming Voices is BACK! We had a great first group over the summer, and we're excited to welcome a new cohort.
Affirming Voices is a group space where we'll explore speaking and singing techniques that help expand range and tone so that you can make choices about how you'd like to sound when you speak and sing.
We don't have any specific preconceptions about how you SHOULD sound - our goal is to support you on your journey - and to provide a space where you and your classmates can provide support and understanding to one another.
Here's what some of our past participants had to say:
"Affirming Voices has given me the tools to find my own voice and learn to use it."
"I feel more control over how I present myself."
"I started to accept my post-transition voice as a new instrument to play with."
"It was really great to connect with others going through similar (and different!) journeys with their voices, and to build community through discussing the many ways that our voices impact our gendered experiences in the world."
Registration is open at q***rjoycollaborative.org, with a limit of 10-12 students. Classes will be Tuesday evenings (October 27 - December 1) in Northampton. Exact time and location will be given upon registration. As always, our offerings operate on a sliding scale so that ability to pay need not be a barrier to joining our community.
