For those whose voice decreases their quality of life, transgender vocal training is a safe, vocally hygienic, evidence-based option! The therapists of Prismatic Speech Services are culturally informed (many are trans themselves!) and provide client-centered care; they are highly invested in helping clients expand their vocal flexibility, stamina, and find a part of their voice that results in more euphoria and less dysphoria.
Microgrant Application
Find Your Light is run by Prismatic Speech Services and managed by the Guilford Green Foundation, a Greensboro-based non-profit which supports the local LGBTQ community. Funds raised will be used to partially cover trans vocal training for interested clients living below or close to the poverty line. Sessions are currently limited to fortnightly meetings to ensure widespread availability.

Whether you are looking to develop your speaking or singing voice. Whether you are looking to find your feminine, masculine, or androgynous voice, they can help you achieve your goals.
