This #NationalComingOutDay is a special time for anyone to be proud in who they are, even if you're still lying low, to find incredible support. But don't feel pressured just because people are posting about it. We all have to measure whether things are good and safe before such vulnerability.

I do what I can to not pigeonhole them to just trans/nonbinary characters if I can help it--There're all kinds of characters, after all. I love it when they get the chance to perform what they're comfortable with, as opposed to being limited to what others may assume.

We've brought back our highly-loved QV 101 Class! All contributions go toward our instructors and continuing to provide incredible classes to our community. Please sign up at secure.givelively.org/event/queer-... and we'll see you in class!

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!

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. secure.givelively.org/event/queer-...

As we kick off a new year and we see others showing a recap of all the cool things they've done, and making new goals, it's important to remember that comparison is a thief of joy. We are proud of everything you've accomplished and we are excited to see where your journey takes you in 2025!

Founding faculty member Sarah Elmaleh rounds out our Giving Tuesday interviews. In 2021, Sarah taught video game voiceover, and is currently filling the role of commanding the ongoing video game strike to gain AI protections for voice and performance capture actors. youtu.be/yaH82qNhCyo

This Giving Tuesday, we hope you'll consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Queer Vox which will fund our many 2025 initiatives, all revolving around long-lasting careers for queer/trans voiceover actors, safe workspaces, and increased representation. youtu.be/pmRos0BuBOI
