VSC Alum Hannah-Rose Tristram Graduates in Trans Voice Alteration and Gender Affirming Voice Coaching!

Tuesday 8th October 2024

Happy news! Voice study centre alum, Hannah-Rose Tristram, has graduated from a teacher training programme this summer, in the field of trans voice alteration and gender affirming voice coaching - with the support of courses undertaken at VSC. 

Hannah-Rose is a genderfluid, queer/bi+ voice professional, choir leader, and musician. They are passionate about helping people connect inwardly and outwardly, through voice, song, music and the arts. 

With 20 years of voice teaching experience, Hannah-Rose now specializes in supporting trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people to align their voices with their sense of self, and build habits that feel right to them.

Hannah-Rose’s skills are based on comprehensive training, including trans voice alteration teacher training with Renée Yoxon (2024), voice coaching for trans and gender-diverse people with Gillie Stoneham (2023), and ‘queering vocal pedagogy, affirming trans and genderqueer singers’ with Dr. William Sauerland (2024). Hannah-Rose's approach is enriched by Estill Voice Training (2015, 2020), NVN teacher training (2007), and studies in vocal health, singing for health, music, dance, and yoga.

As co-founder and leader of GLOW, an inclusive LGBTQIA+ community choir, for a decade, Hannah-Rose creates supportive environments for vocal exploration. She also leads Resonance, a sing-for-trees choir, and Companion Voices, an end-of-life bedside singing group: she is dedicated to using voice and music for community connection, healing and activism.

Hannah-Rose's teaching philosophy supports people to explore their vocal potential in non-judgemental, welcoming and playful environments that respect the agency and truth of each individual. They seek to create a positive experience of moving towards joyful results. Their varied background, including a first-class BA in Music and Dance, informs a holistic and down to earth approach to voice work.

Hannah-Rose creates inclusive spaces for people to discover the joy of making sounds they love. Their passion, experience and skills will support you as you explore your voice. 

You can expect: a friendly queer who is a trans+ activist, respects your experience, wants to keep learning, has great tools to share, and wants to help you thrive.

The day Hannah-Rose finished the course!
