NEURO-AFFIRMING VOICE LESSONS

Voice work is often taught as a linear path, with fixed goals, standardized techniques, and expectations around focus and performance. But for many neurodivergent people, voice training must be shaped around the individual: capacity, sensory needs, rhythms of attention, and processing. In my studio, neuro-affirming voice work begins with the understanding that every brain, and every voice, is different. Sensory issues are acknowledged and respected: we adapt the work to minimize discomfort, avoid overwhelm, and create environments that feel safe and manageable. Capacity is honoured and progress is not measured by perfection, but by engagement and consistency.

I layer or scaffold the learning process: exercises are broken down into steps and skills are built gradually. In my lessons, we lean into play and special interests as tools for connection, and joy. Attention span is not a barrier; it’s part of the design. Lessons are available in 30, 45, or 60-minute formats, depending on what suits the focus, energy, and goals. Above all, the work is rooted in curiosity: what happens when we listen and explore the voice without judgment?

Neuro-affirming voice training is about offering tools, space, and support to explore the voice in ways that work for the student.
