Pitch therapy

What is Pitch?

Vocal pitch is the perceived frequency of sound produced by vibrations of the vocal cords. It determines the highness or lowness of a voice. In transgender voice therapy, adjusting vocal pitch is often a focus to align the voice with gender identity. This can involve training to achieve a desired pitch range associated with a particular gender.

Our General Treatment Plan

  • Pitch Assessment: We will conduct an initial evaluation to determine the client’s current pitch range and where they would like it to be.
  • Pitch Adjustment Exercises: Tailored exercises to help clients explore and expand their pitch range, both upward and downward, to find a pitch that aligns with their gender identity.
  • Resonance Training: Techniques to modify vocal resonance to achieve a more feminine, masculine, or androgynous sound, depending on the client’s goals.
  • Breath Control: Exercises to improve breath support and control, which can help in maintaining a consistent pitch and reducing strain on the voice.
  • Pitch Maintenance Strategies: Strategies to help clients maintain their desired pitch in various speaking situations, such as public speaking, phone conversations, or social interactions.
  • Vocal Warm-Up Routines: Customized warm-up routines to prepare the voice for speaking or singing at the desired pitch level.
  • Vocal Hygiene Education: Guidance on practices that promote vocal health, such as hydration, avoiding vocal strain, and proper speaking techniques.
