Vocal Coaching - Masculinizing sessions

The Vocal Coaching Group (masculinizing sessions) is for any Trans, Non-Binary or gender-diverse University of Waterloo students wishing to develop a more masculine voice. Over the three sessions you attend, the Vocal Coaching Group facilitator will provide vocal coaching in a comfortable and safe space.

The group is facilitated by Heather Hill, a faculty member of the University of Waterloo and was developed in collaboration with Deanna Clatworthy, a Clinical Nurse Specialist, specializing in gender-affirming care with the Campus Wellness team. Heather and Deanna connected through ARCH, bringing vocal coaching and gender-affirming care together.
