I teach Voice and Speech 1: Experiencing Voice to first-year
BFA theatre and acting students at Boston University, where I lead explorations of vocal identity, technique, and expression through the lenses of performance, sociology, physiology, and gender, based in the Linklater Voice Method. I also head BU's senior showcase
program, helping senior performance majors to identify their
strengths as artists, prepare stage and screen performances
highlighting those assets, and launch into the industry with
confidence. Read my full CV here.
gender-affirming voice teacher
Guided by the research of my MFA thesis, "The Alchemy of
Trans Voice: Gender Affirmation and Expansion Through the Linklater Voice Method," I specialize in helping trans and
non-binary people to identify and attain their unique vocal goals. This work can help to minimize gender dysphoria, promote gender euphoria, navigate issues related to physical transition (e.g. HRT, binding), and open trans-identifying actors to new casting possibilities. Email me for more information about gender-affirming voice sessions, offered on a sliding payment scale.
I am a certified teacher of the Woods Voice and Dialect Coaching Method, founded by Denise Woods (author of The Power of Voice, voice and dialect coach to Halle Berry, Will Smith, Jessica Chastain, et al.), and I offer speech and dialect coaching services for professional, educational, workshop, and private settings. I utilize science-based techniques to create a customized coaching plan suited to the individual's learning style, level of comfort, access needs, and
practical applications, creating a process that is fast, effective,
stress-free, and joyful. Email me for rates and availability.
