Miss Judy, Dean of Voice
Talk like a man? Miss Judy, Dean of Voice, can change that.
Go from deep to delightful with a few quick tips and lots
of practice. As a licensed speech/language pathologist, Miss
Judy brings her experience and education to the art of teaching
the feminine voice. "We begin by having our student dress
as a woman." explains Miss Judy. "Once dressed up, our student
immediately begins to demonstrate feminine mannerisms that
relate to the voice." The voice class begins with techniques
in body language (the unspoken word) and word choice that
is considered feminine. The next step is teaching the production
of "soft" sounds, as in the substitution of the /s/ for the
/z/ consonant. Our student is then taught to "lilt" or stretch
the vowels to produce a musical note while speaking. These
and other techniques are encouraged to be subtle so that the
student sounds genuine and not theatrical. The voice class
gives the student the opportunity to express her thoughts/feelings
in a positive environment. Miss Judy, Dean of Voice, is an
honors graduate from UCLA and Queens College. She is affiliated
with Mt. Sinai Hospital.
