“I Pass as a Woman … Until I Open My Mouth!”
Welcome, Ladies:
As a Certified Speech Language Pathologist and Voice Feminization Specialist, I hear one thing over and over again from my patients:
“I pass as a woman until I open my mouth.”
Can you relate?
Or are you like some transgender women who “think” they have passable voices, but are unaware of the common mistakes they’re making that keep them from truly being accepted as women?
If you’re like most transgender women I know, you’ve spent a lot of time, energy, and money perfecting your feminine image. But your appearance can only take you so far …
If you can’t speak like a woman, you’re not going to pass. Period. It’s your VOICE that makes or breaks you as a woman.
But you already know that, don’t you? So let me ask you this:
Voice You Want?
If you aren’t satisfied with your voice, it means that your approach isn’t working. Simplistic advice – such as “raise your pitch” or “speak softer” – won’t get you anywhere. Sadly, I’ve meet many TG women who’ve been working on their voices for years and still get “read” every time they open their mouths.
That’s the bad news. The great news is that with the RIGHT APPROACH, you can learn how to achieve a passable feminine voice in as little as 30 days!
My name is Kathe Perez and I have been a certified Speech Language Pathologist since 1986. For the past 11 years, I have worked with thousands of transgender women as a Voice Feminization Specialist.
Through my years of clinical experience, I have developed a voice feminization approach that WORKS.
The possibilities that open up when you have a passable feminine voice are truly limitless!
My patients have successfully transitioned in their careers as physicians, attorneys, university professors, engineers, and even public speakers. But best of all, they are now finally able to express themselves as the women that they truly are.
As a speech pathologist, I’ve adapted my traditional voice therapy program to meet the need of my transgender patients …
Individual VFT (Voice Feminization Therapy) is a great way for patients to work with me one-on-one to get the individual attention they need.
As an alternative to the individual VFT and a more economical way to begin, I have developed a voice feminization audio program series, including Fundamentals of Your Feminine Voice and Beyond the Fundamentals.
My self-study audio programs have helped thousands of transgender women, but I’ve discovered that many people have a hard time working through these programs alone. My tools work, but if you’re like most TG women, you also need STRUCTURE and SUPPORT in order to make the fastest progress on your voice.
That’s why I have developed a NEW interactive voice feminization program that will walk you through the process of achieving a passable feminine voice in the next 30 days – for a fraction of the cost of individual therapy!
Introducing …
February 20, 2012 – March 21, 2012
The 30 Day Crash Course – Voice Feminization Basics is an interactive voice feminization course that will guide you, step-by-step, through my proven voice feminization process. I’ll show you EXACTLY what you need to do each day to achieve a passable feminine voice in the quickest amount of time possible.
While feminizing your voice is an ongoing process, my 30 Day Crash Course will give you the foundation you need to express yourself as a woman in the next 30 days.
The 30 Day Crash Course is a BEGINNER’S PROGRAM designed for transgender women with little to no experience working with their voices – OR for those who have been working on their voice for years and still feel stuck at the beginner level.
The 30 Day Crash Course is an ONLINE course that consists of videos, downloadable notes and worksheets, LIVE Q&A sessions with me, Kathe Perez, Q&A session recordings, and an interactive member’s area. You can participate in the 30 Day Crash Course from anywhere in the world from the privacy of your own home.
The 30 Day Crash Course runs from February 20, 2012 through March 21, 2012 and consists of 5 classes. Here is what you will accomplish in each class:
Class #1 sets the stage for success. First, you’ll discover the posture and breathing principles that are the foundation of a passable feminine voice. Then, you’ll learn strategies for mastering feminine pitch – one of the “Nine Elements of an Exceptional Feminine Voice”. I’ll show you how to put together a daily practice routine and finally, how to incorporate “proprioception” and “metacognition” into your practice strategy (these principles are KEY to achieving feminine voice mastery).
After completing Class #1, you will be able to:
- Achieve perfect feminine pitch – and be able maintain this pitch while you speak.
- Design a daily practice routine that will quickly reprogram your mind and body to speak like a woman.
- Use the principles of “proprioception” and “metacognition” to achieve feminine voice mastery.
- Uncover the hidden blocks and challenges to your success.
Class #2 focuses on another critical element of your voice: articulation. But first, you’ll get a crash course on the anatomy and physiology of your voice so you can understand the changes you are making on a physical level. You’ll learn additional techniques for mastering posture, breathing, and pitch – and finally, you’ll learn how to train your ear so you know when your voice is hitting the mark and when you are falling flat.
After completing Class #2, you will be able to:
- Understand the differences between masculine and feminine articulation and know why articulation is key to sounding authentically female.
- Master my special “Clear Talk Techniques” so you can achieve perfect feminine articulation.
- Improve your posture, breathing, and pitch so your voice evolves to the next level.
- Train your ear to recognize the specific qualities of feminine vs. masculine voices. (Note: Most TG women never achieve a passable feminine voice because they don’t know what to “listen” for.)
Class #3 focuses on the critical element of voice quality. I will challenge you with additional strategies for transforming your voice. You’ll learn more about the mechanics of your voice so you can apply this to the skills you are learning. You’ll also learn how to fine-tune your practice and blast through any areas of “stuckness”.
After completing Class #3, you will be able to:
- Master my strategies for transforming the quality of your feminine voice.
- Upgrade your vocal skills from simple words and phrases to more advanced patterns of speech.
- Train your ear to recognize the subtle elements of a beautiful feminine voice. (This is key if you want to take your voice from “good” to “great” in the next 30 days.)
- Tweak your daily practice routine so you can quickly bust through any barriers to achieving a passable feminine voice.
Class #4 is when things start to get exciting. You will begin to move beyond structured exercises to spontaneously speaking in a feminine voice. You’ll learn how to integrate posture, breathing, pitch, articulation, and voice quality into conversational speech – and you’ll learn how to make these new skills a habit. Finally, we’ll review audio samples that reveal what works and what doesn’t work in male to female voice transition.
After completing Class #4, you will be able to:
- Go from doing structured drills and exercises to spontaneously speaking in a natural feminine voice.
- Integrate feminine posture, breathing, pitch, articulation, and voice quality into your speech.
- Ensure that your new feminine vocal patterns become a habit.
- Avoid the most common voice feminization mistakes.
Almost there! Class #5 will solidify the foundation you built during the 30 Day Crash Course and give you the tools to make ongoing improvements in your voice. I will show you how to maintain the changes you’ve made and leave you with a blueprint for future success.
After completing Class #5, you will be able to:
- Design a customized practice routine that will allow you to maintain your results with ease.
- Understand the advanced vocal and communication differences between transgender women and genetic women.
- Go from simply “sounding” feminine to truly expressing yourself as a woman.
- Continue to improve your feminine vocal skills so you can ultimately take your voice from “passable” to “beautiful”.

“Love the way you outlined the class, it is so easy to review and re-review. The videos make it so easy to correct mistakes.

“30 Day Crash Course”
“I am so pleased with having taken your 30 Day Crash Course. I go over and over each of the downloads to continually refresh and reinforce myself, trying not to miss anything. I think that I now have a musical, pleasant feminine voice within the A3-E4 range, without fatigue. Many thanks to you.”

“Six weeks in I was already no longer getting “sir” at the drive-up. I looked forward to Kathe’s new exercises and techniques that came in each weekly posting. You will get back as much as you commit to the project, and the rewards are incredible!”
Barbara
“I am so happy to be taking this course. I have been practicing at different times today and I am happy with my pitch, which I always get to D3 (147 Hz). Having trouble getting used to the breathing with the stomach, but I’m getting there.”
