Voice assessment

Prior to vocal training we will complete a thorough assessment of your voice in order to 'get to know your voice' and identify your personal goals. This will involve:

• A discussion about your transition and your voice such as your previous treatments, vocal health, voice use and what you would like to achieve from the vocal training.  
• Perceptual voice analysis - the Speech Pathologist will listen to the features of your voice such as vocal quality, pitch and loudness.
• Acoustic analysis - your voice will be recorded and a computer program will analyse the acoustic properties of your voice.
