Group Session: Exploring Vocal Deepening
Hosted by The Courageous Space at The Affirmation Station

This supportive group session is for trans and gender diverse people interested in exploring ways to develop a deeper speaking voice. Together, we’ll cover vocal health, resonance, and techniques that support safe and sustainable vocal deepening. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to build confidence with your voice, this is a safe space to learn, practise, and connect with others. No prior experience is necessary - come as you are.

About The Courageous Space: The Courageous Space, is a multidisciplinary team dedicated to supporting young people and adults who are gender and neurodiverse. We have an established clinic in Brisbane and late last year, we expanded our services in Melbourne, providing Speech Therapy out of Sum of Us Therapy Hub in Yarraville.

We are a private multidisciplinary practice welcoming those searching for acceptance, support and affirmation. Focusing on support within the LGBTIQAP+ and neurodivergent communities, The Courageous Space wishes to foster authentic relationships with you to breakdown worries and earn trust. Creating a supportive and inclusive environment is our priority. More than anything, we hope to affirm people for who they are and not what society depicts them as. We are passionate about fostering understanding and affirmation within the gender and neurodiverse communities, and we believe that collaboration and partnership are essential in achieving these goals.
