What other students are saying

It's not just about passing

by Shallie

Liz's general ethos around voice training is very progressive and inclusive, and seems very different from older models that focus on "passing". This really meshes with my thinking about how we approach gender.

Finally my own voice

Mary

Like many women in transition, I struggled for some time to find my voice on my own. I thought I tried everything. But since connecting with The Voice Lab, I'm delighted by the progress I've made and that I’m finally presenting as my authentic self in public. I'm so happy to have a voice that feels like it's truly mine.

Help with my voice goals

Cara

I found out about Liz on reddit and wanted to check it out. I'm glad I did! The course was an awesome experience, and definitely something that can help with my voice goals.
