The most important parts of your body, when it comes to voice are the following: 1) Your lungs. Your lungs are what provide you with breath - the power to carry your voice. 2) Your larynx. You can find this by keeping your hand on your neck while swallowing - it is the part that goes up and down, and the ‘Adam’s apple’ is a part of your larynx. 3) Your vocal folds. These are housed in the larynx. There are various cartilages that move your vocal fold muscles to bring them closer together and farther away (thus creating different pitches). Their vibration is the source of sound for your voice 4) Your vocal tract is then completed by the cavities of your mouth and nose. Making this space bigger or smaller has a big effect on your voice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6195c7fc1e24586bd3d62141/0ee4b402-7289-4e60-b986-0efbd6816871/Screenshot+2025-11-10+205819.png Blog - Gender-Affirming Voice - Where do I start? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6195c7fc1e24586bd3d62141/d8cfa14d-bf54-4672-88d2-c3f401259ed2/Screenshot+2025-11-10+205937.png Blog - Gender-Affirming Voice - Where do I start? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6195c7fc1e24586bd3d62141/8d7d8c5f-cc4b-46e2-835a-1c60c4aa46e7/Screenshot+2025-11-10+210108.png Blog - Gender-Affirming Voice - Where do I start? - Make it stand out I always recommend folks look online so they can get an idea of what to expect during therapy. As well, listening to other people who have gone through the voice journey can be motivating. Here are just a few resources that myself and my clients have found helpful. While I do recommend looking online to get some ideas of what voice therapy looks like, I strongly recommend practicing with a professional. Whether it is a speech-language pathologist or a voice coach, you want to make sure that you are practicing in a safe way and receiving feedback about what you are doing is usually very important for achieving results. https://www.genieuscommunication.com/blog/blog-post-myofunctional-therapy monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6195c7fc1e24586bd3d62141/c3d64493-e7d0-48ee-8b52-49cf661735d9/Screenshot+2024-02-15+130813.png Blog - What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy and Why Does it Matter? - The main goals often include: Nasal Breathing Proper Tongue Rest Posture Adequate Lip Seal Correct Swallow Pattern Increasing Strength and Awareness of Articulators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6195c7fc1e24586bd3d62141/1cb4431c-6ad8-4fd2-ae64-b733f05f4a54/Screenshot+2024-02-15+130327.png Blog - What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy and Why Does it Matter? - Here are some common symptoms: mouth breathing improper alignment of the teeth messy eating snoring difficulty with speech (e.g., lisp) pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6195c7fc1e24586bd3d62141/1708021128253-AU9ZYI8LY0GQRSC7VTGL/sean-foster-z7p-Veuy_4I-unsplash.jpg Blog - What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy and Why Does it Matter? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6195c7fc1e24586bd3d62141/1708021123151-U7TPBMCIPZKXNMLGXV7S/Screenshot+2024-02-15+131612.png Blog - What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy and Why Does it Matter? https://www.genieuscommunication.com/blog/blog-weight-in-gender-affirming-voice-therapy monthly 0.5 2024-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6195c7fc1e24586bd3d62141/231db80e-3ad6-4cd1-ba19-0c71f19cdba0/image-asset.png Blog - Trans Voice is a Heavy Subject - Make it stand out The vocal folds are muscles that can be found in your larynx.
