The LOFT has partnered with faculty and students from Iona College's Speech Communication Studies Department to offer a two-part workshop addressing speech and voice for members of the transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) communities.

• Are you interested in learning how your voice works?

• Do you want to know the best ways to keep your voice healthy and modify the way your voice sounds?

Come to this workshop to learn & practice some techniques to making your voice your own. We will also present apps, at-home practice techniques, and opportunities for further learning.

Brought to you by students and faculty of Iona College Speech Communication Studies Department. We seek to help the transgender community make changes in their lives while maintaining a comfortable and safe environment.

Part 1) Listen and Learn Focus Group: Saturday, April 29th at 7:30pm

Part 2) Skills and Techniques Workshop: Saturday, May 13th at 7:30pm

Members of the TGNC communities are welcome to attend both or either part of this two-part series. We ask that attendees be ages 18 and over.  Free to attend but we do request an RSVP.

To RSVP and/or ask questions contact LOFT Program Manager Shepard Verbas at (914) 948-2932 ext. 14 or [email protected]
