#voice lessons

[linguacordis]

Hi everyone! I'm an independent transfem voice teacher looking to spread the word about my gender-affirming voice lessons. I'm focused on giving people a means of building the voice that suits them without judgment or prescription of a "correct" way of speaking. If you could pass this along to help me find the people that could use these services, that would be super helpful!

Fun things I’ve learned from Rob Paulsen’s memoir

He calls Maurice LaMarche Moe.

Jess Harnell has a three story home with an elevator and a room exclusively for all his toys. Once he was late to rehearsal because the elevator broke down with Jess in it and he was stuck.

Alan Oppenheimer (prolific voice actor, but probably best known for being the OG voice of Skeletor) was his biggest mentor.

Frank Welker was once in an Elvis movie, and frequently entertained the king by making animal noises for him. His most requested was cats and dogs fighting.

Paulsen frequently does what’s call loop work - providing background conversations and noises for movies to be ADR’d in, which many voice actors do but are uncredited for. One anecdote he shared about that is when he did ADR for the movie Risky Business, specifically the part where Tom Cruise and Rebecca de Mornay have sex on a subway. He and Annie Lockhart couldn’t get it quite right…so they just decided to make out for real.

Paulsen was on a charity celebrity hockey team in the late 80s-early 90s. The team was in southern Alberta for a muscular dystrophy charity, and the poster child was a boy named Chad, the same age as Paulsen’s son Ash at the time. Chad was utterly decked out in TMNT merch. Paulsen talked with him and gave him a hug and they took a picture together, and once Chad was back in his seat, Paulsen started weeping on the ice. His teammates had to calm him down. Later, Chad visited the team in the locker room and Paulsen, having run out of Raphael pictures to sign, gave Chad his TMNT crew jacket instead. Paulsen says that’s when he realized that his voice acting was important and that his characters mean a great deal to people.

Carl Wheezer was Paulsen's first movie acting gig where he voiced a member of the principle cast, and he credits the success of the character in the movie and subsequent show as "paying for most of my cars".

PLEASE REBLOG!

Figured I'd post this flyer again without it being tied to any specific fandom. As a reminder, I am a freelance voice teacher working to get students so please refer to the flyer with any questions or any interest. I am also willing to give one free trial lesson to see if you'd be willing to do them long-term.

I saw someone else recommend voice acting stuff to you and this is a friend of mine who I HIGHLY recommend if you are at all still curious about screaming (and how to do it safely) this is my friend Justin Bontiz, he’s the lead singer of a nu-core band called Tallah, he’s a very good teacher!

This year has been hell on wheels but I am finally on holiday vacation and seizing the chance to relax and decompress some, and I don't really do new year's resolutions at this point in my life but I do have an intention for 2026 and it's this: less of the things that exhaust me and burn me out, more of the things that rejuvenate me and bring me joy.

I've spent a lot of my life lately making wistful remarks about how "if only I had more time, I would (hobby/leisure activity/social thing) more often like I did back in (college/my 20s/my early 30s)." So next year, I'm going to try to figure out how to MAKE TIME, even if just sporadically, for at least one or two of those things I'm always bemoaning not having the time for.

Particularly on the "I need a revival of this in my life" list:

Voice lessons

Contra dancing

Post-choir-rehearsal bar hangouts

Something something going outside and touching grass (when the snow melts) and interacting with other humans and filling my life up with music and getting regular doses of all of those things OUTSIDE OF MY JOBS because wow have I been working too much.

And also, I need to spend more time with my dad. He's in kind of a holding pattern right now but I don't know how long that will continue.

need some advice

I’ve been asking my parents to enroll me in voice lessons (singing lessons) and acting lessons for months now, but they still won’t do it. They think that I’m “too obsessed” with theatre and fine arts that I’ll burn out by the time I’m 20.

they don’t understand that this is my calling—my vocation, if you’re Catholic like me—and that I want this more than just to prove to my director that I’m good enough for a lead; I want this because I love music, I love theatre, I love ballet and jazz and all other types of dance.

my parents think I’m “missing out on childhood” because I’m so focused on my career. I just want to be better. I want to be so talented that I’m undeniable, that I don’t have to worry if I’m flat or sharp, if my eyebrows are making the right shape, if I’m making the correct vowel choices; I can just perform, enjoy it.

I get stressed about rehearsals. I don’t always love the circumstances that come with it. I get tired and need a break, but there’s nothing better to me than stepping out on our sh!tty gym stage and just performing. It’s my everything

I just need help convincing them to let me continue to develop my craft.
