Had my first appointment with the speech therapy people today.
Was just an assessment really.
He learned more about me and what I wanted, then I was hooked up to a throat mic and we did some measurement of my modal pitch.
Now, if I have understood this right, my pitch is almost female and almost certainly in the higher end of gender neutral.
Trouble is, speech is a complex thing and my problem is resonance and the way I speak. Apparently, I clip my vowels and have a rapid pattern of speech.
So, I need to bring my voice off my chest and into my face. Yeah, up into my face is what he said!! I also have to learn not to clip my vowels!
So, basically undoing almost 28 years of habitual speaking!!
Please, excuse me whilst I get on with my exercises.
