It ALL changed in January 2000...The telephone rang. Little did I know that on that cold winter's day in Boulder, Colorado, my life and career would be forever changed. Joanne shared with me her life's story. She described herself as a transsexual. She spoke of the travails of trying to conform to the man she was assigned at birth to be rather than become the woman she knew herself to be. She had done the manly things expected of her–like military service¬where she excelled. Then there were her radio broadcasting days when her booming baritone voice carried no reflection of her feminine soul across the airwaves. Finally, well into her adult years, she transitioned. But, she struggled with her voice. And when I answered the telephone that fateful January morning, she asked me if I had any experience working with "people like me." I said, "No, but as a speech pathologist, I have a lot of experience working with people's voices." She responded, "Well, I'll teach you about me and the transgender community if you'll teach me about changing my voice." After working with a few people like Joanne over the next few years, it became clear that there were many more people who needed a program like the one I created. So I teamed up with a colleague here in Denver, Lynn Skinner, and we created Fundamentals of Your Feminine Voice. Now, after 10 fabulous years, it's time to say, "Goodbye." This groundbreaking program has helped to transform thousands of voices, but now it's time to forge ahead with new products and programs.
