• How Hong Kong and Australian training compare
• The impact of UQ's OSCE and clinical placements
• Adapting to Australian families and practice
• Our shared passion for early intervention and neurodiversity-affirming practice

講故事冇人聽？做Presentation聲音唔夠自信？原來呢個技巧，仲可以改變一個人嘅人生……

六月係LGBTQIA+ Pride Month，而transgender voice therapy正正係一個好重要嘅議題。所以喺呢個六月，我哋想將呢個聲音治療嘅技巧帶給你。

你有冇諗過，講故事用嘅變聲技巧，同性別肯定聲音治療,其實用嘅係同一套科學原理？

今集我哋會帶你睇兩個好唔同嘅應用場景：

🎭 點樣用Pitch同共鳴,令你講故事、做presentation更有吸引力
💨 一個簡單嘅"暖聲"技巧，presentation前用得著
🌈 呢套原理點樣應用喺幫助跨性別人士搭建一個更貼合自己嘅聲音
🗣️ 點樣喺「authority」同「femininity」之間取得平衡

特別鳴謝 Dr. Yeptain Leung 喺聲音治療同性別肯定聲音治療上嘅專業分享！

🎧 即刻收聽，發現聲音可以改變嘅,遠遠超過你想像！

Struggling to hold a room with your voice? The same technique that fixes that can also change someone's life.

June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, and transgender voice therapy is such an important topic — so this June, we wanted to bring this voice therapy story to you.

What if the voice modulation tricks that make storytelling and presentations land are built on the exact same science as gender-affirming voice therapy?

In this episode, we explore two very different worlds — through one shared set of techniques:

🎭 How pitch and resonance work can make your storytelling or presentations more compelling
💨 A simple "vocal warm-up" technique you can use before any presentation
🌈 How those same principles apply to helping transgender individuals build a voice that feels truly their own
🗣️ How to balance authority and femininity within a single voice

Special thanks to Dr. Yeptain Leung for his clinical expertise in voice therapy and gender-affirming care.

🎧 Listen now to discover just how much your voice can do.
