160 years ago, the last enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas finally received their freedom.

Today, we celebrate the enduring fight for freedom and continue advocating for justice, equality, and opportunity for all.

A black post with white text that reads: The murder of Jonathan Joss, a queer and Native American voice actor of the Comanche and White Mountain Apache tribes, has frightened and saddened the Queer Vox community. This hate crime is a stark reminder how vulnerable LGBQTIA+ people are. We are so often demonized by the twisted rhetoric in our current politics and media, it feels as if we walk through the world with targets on our backs. Jonathanโ€™s acting work remains not only as a memorial to his talent, but also a testament to the importance of authentic representation. The more the voices of the underrepresented are heard and tied to the very real beating hearts behind them, the more this divided nation will understand and defend us. In that pursuit, we must never be silent. Our hearts go out to Jonathanโ€™s husband Tristan and to all who knew and loved him.

As we continue to face legislative, social, and cultural challenges, we all must continue to brace and uplift each other.

All of us at Queer Vox wish our community, LGBTQIA+ siblings, & allies a happy #PrideMonth!

Pride is a time to celebrate the diversity of the queer experience, however #Pride is more than a celebration, it is a reminder how tenuous our freedoms are & how critical the support of our allies is.

I've partnered with QueerVox and medical SLPs of the trans experience to develop gender-affirming speech courses for voice actors and people looking to learn more about using their voice! This is an interactive workshop, so come ready to practice!

Voice & Gender starts with a mandatory Vocal Empowerment class by Marin Miller and Kevin Dorman. Once you complete that, you can take either or both of our gender specific workshops: Transfemme Voices (by Christine Schermerhorn and Adi Cabral) and Transmasc Voices (by Aaron Ayala and Avi Roque).

Queer Vox is proud to present Voice & Gender, a set of three workshops for LGBTQIA+ voice actors to explore their own vocal toolbox, discovering what sounds feel right for them in daily life, and what other sounds they can use to explore characters.
