Show Notes
For transgender and nonbinary youth, voice can be one of the most challenging parts of their identity journey. While hormones and surgery receive attention, voice often remains overlooked—yet it profoundly impacts safety, confidence, and how young people move through the world.
Nicole Gress, speech-language pathologist and founder of Undead Voice, has supported 100,000+ voices in 20+ countries with the first scalable, evidence-based trans voice training program.
She shares why voice matters for gender identity, barriers preventing access to care, myths about voice training (it's not just pitch, hormones don't automatically change voice), practical first steps for youth and parents, and the emotional journey of finding your authentic voice.
