Coming November 19th from Jessica Kingsley Publishers
Coming Soon: The Ultimate Companion for Your Trans Voice Practice
Introducing The Trans Voice Practice Journal!
A groundbreaking book that gives you a place to learn, practice, and reflect as you work toward a voice that feels more gender-affirming to you. Part guide, part workbook, and part practice log, it’s designed to meet you wherever you are in your voice journey, whether you’re just getting started or have been practicing for years.

Tea and I made a short video about what's inside.
Voice practice is more than a technical problem
There’s a lot of advice out there about how to change your voice. Raise your pitch. Shift your resonance. Change your inflection. Practice, repeat, improve.
But that’s only part of the story.
Your voice is personal. Progress can be messy, nonlinear, surprising, and sometimes frustrating. You need somewhere to figure out what’s working, notice the changes you might otherwise miss, and keep going when your practice doesn’t go according to plan.
So when Jessica Kingsley Publishers asked me to write a book, I knew I didn’t want to turn one of my courses into a book.
I wanted to create something new.
That’s why I made The Trans Voice Practice Journal: to help you explore, experiment, track your progress, and keep practicing. Whether you’re working with a teacher, taking a class, following another program, or figuring it out on your own, this book is here to support you.

Three resources in one
Part guide
Everything I usually spend the first month of lessons on, from vocal health to the emotional side nobody warns you about.
Part workbook
Prompts, exercises, and space to work out what you actually want your voice to sound like.
Part practice log
40 pages of fillable logs, plus monthly and seasonal check-ins to track where you've been.
The first half sets you up
Emotional sustainability and self-care
How to stay in a practice you can actually keep, and what to do when your inner critic won't shut the heck up.
Vocal health
Hydration, HRT, binding, surgery, posture, food, and how disability and neurodivergence change what practice reasonably looks like for you.
Practice that fits your life
Four different strategies for building the habit, because the one that works beautifully for your friend might do absolutely nothing for you.
Voice and gender perception
What gender actually sounds like, the problem with "passing", and why I can't tell you whether you sound like a woman.
Mapping your voice
A voice audit, a sound journal, a gender word cloud, and exercises for translating your gender into sound.
The foundations
Pitch, resonance, vocal weight, and inflection, with exploration exercises and space for your own notes on each.
The second half belongs to you
Your voice toolkit
Collect your own warm-ups, cool-downs, favourite exercises, practice phrases, and games in one place, so you stop losing them.
An emergency toolkit
Your list of strategies, exercises, and resources for the days when nothing is working, and you need a plan.
Progress reviews
Monthly and seasonal check-ins, plus the Trans Voice Emotions Evaluator, which I wrote for anyone who finds recording themself too painful right now.
40 pages of practice logs
Fillable, flexible, and yours.
It works alongside whatever you're already doing
Taking one of my courses?
Use it as your practice log and your notebook.
Studying with a teacher or an SLP?
Bring it to lessons and fill it between them.
In a group class?
Keep your own record of what's working for you.
Self-directing with YouTube?
Track which videos work best for your practice.
There's no prerequisite and no right order. Skip around, come back to prompts as your practice changes, and ignore anything that isn't serving you today.
Please wreck this book
Designed to be dog-eared, scribbled in, highlighted, and made totally your own, this book will be the home you didn't know you needed for your trans voice practice.
As I say in the introduction: if it looks like a piñata by the time you're done with it, I support that.

Hi, I'm Renée
I'm a gender-affirming voice teacher based in Montreal. I've been teaching voice since 2008 and specializing in trans voice since 2019, and my free YouTube tutorials have been watched more than a million times.
I teach a non-medical route to voice change, for people who want something private, self-paced, and doable between childcare and night shifts. I believe there is no right way to sound like a man, a woman, or a nonbinary person, that there are as many ways to sound feminine as there are women, and that you deserve to love your voice.
More about me and my coursesQuestions people have asked me
Do I need to be taking one of your courses?
I'm not sure I want to change my voice. Is this still for me?
What if I hate recording myself?
I'd rather log digitally. Can I still use it?
Where else can I buy it?
