Gwyneth is very friendly and personalises sessions to your needs and speed. She was able to help me progress quickly in voice feminisation therapy.
Jamie L
Jamie had 4 sessions with me. Through these few sessions, we were able to quickly identify and target areas to feminize her voice. She was happy with the results and could use it functionally in her work and social environments.
Gweneth has been instrumental in my journey as a transwoman finding my feminine voice. Her professionalism, empathy, and tailored approach created a safe space for exploration. Through personalised exercises and unwavering support, she empowered me to embrace my true voice. I highly recommend Gweneth to anyone on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Thank you, Gweneth, Thank you, Gweneth, for your love for what you do and for helping me find my voice, both literally and figuratively.
Jessica
Jessica had 4 sessions of voice therapy (spread over 4 months). At the start, she had to work through a common challenge of the voice sounding hollow and thin as pitch increased. We worked towards shaping different components of the voice. She was able to incorporate practice in the midst of her busy schedule and was able to quickly achieve a balance of vocal pitch, weight and resonance. She has given permission for her speech samples to be presented here.
Baseline voice at start of GAVT. 86hz
Mid-treatment voice. 238hz. A nice balance of pitch and resonance
I developed muscle tension dysphonia after laryngitis. I had completely lost my voice for over a month, and I was filled with a lot of fear of ever getting my voice back again and what that would mean for my future.
Gwyneth is very warm and friendly, and has a genuine dedication to helping her clients. She approached my case with empathy and made it easy for me to feel relaxed. She quickly identified underlying stress and bad habits that worsened my vocal muscle strain and coached me on how to manage it better.
She incorporated my interests and existing habits into my therapy sessions to make the lessons and take-home exercises fun and comfortable. She was also quick to adapt the lessons based on my abilities and progress each session.
Even after the first session, I saw and felt improvement. Now, after five sessions, I have a stronger and healthier voice back. I’m so so grateful to her for not only bringing my voice back but also for giving me a framework to have control over my voice and the skills to protect my vocal health moving forward. I cannot recommend Gwyneth enough!
– Amy
Amy was diagnosed with moderate-severe muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) which was likely stress induced. She presented with a high-pitched whispery voice. We worked on breath and voice control in small steps, and she made good progress. Now, she can converse without strain and has an increased range of volume and pitch. She has better awareness of good voicing habits and can reduce the recurrence of MTD.
I am grateful to Gwyneth Lee for helping me along my journey as a transgender person. She has not only imparted workable voice feminisation techniques with great skill and patience but also been completely affirming of my gender identity at every point.”
– Roselle
I have been stuttering for decades. When I met Gwyneth a year ago, I was exhibiting disfluency especially in terms of blockages which had really affected my confidence and created much anxiety throughout my life. I had low expectations as my experiences with speech therapy through my childhood years all the way through adulthood were not ideal; thankfully my experience has been incredibly positive.
Gwyneth has guided me through every week of therapy with great expertise and deep sincerity; I have always felt challenged but never once felt disappointment as she has created a tailor-made program for me through a thoughtful understanding of my speech characteristics; teaching me new methods every week to help me improve my vocal coordination.
A year down the road, I have made great leaps in overcoming my stuttering and can hear how much my speech patterns have evolved to improve my fluency. I am very fortunate to have met Gwyneth and look forward to continuing my journey.
Aaron C
Aaron was diagnosed with mild stuttering but had some anxiety over specific speaking situations where the stutters would become more severe. Apart from using the Camperdown speech restructuring program, Gwyneth had to incorporate some elements of voice therapy to enable Aaron to overcome the blockages. Aaron’s treatment was done primarily online.
He was very diligent in his practice and honed his ability to self-monitor and control his speech. He is continuing to work through his speech and is aware of setting his own speech goals in these challenging situations. His confidence continues to grow.
I highly recommend Gwyneth Lee as a speech therapist. Our son had severe stuttering at an older age that is more complex to treat. A previous speech therapist had failed to make any difference with him, but with Gwyneth his results were dramatic and almost miraculously quick. Gwyneth goes above and beyond to help her clients. She is extremely knowledgeable and deeply caring. We feel blessed that we found her.
– Emily (Elijah’s Mother)
Elijah (10 years old) was diagnosed with severe stuttering marked by effortful blocks (stuck words) and prolongations (stretching of sounds). His severity was 7 on a a scale of 0-9 (0 no stuttering, 9 extreme stuttering). He achieved fluent speech with mum’s support and a tailored treatment program. Elijah was able to achieve fluent speech with severity 0 within 3 sessions. He is now on periodic follow-up and has not shown signs of relapse. He is very happy with his speech and has the confidence to speak on stage.
Gwyneth treated my girl’s stutter issue few years back. We were very satisfied with her skill in speech therapy. Hence when we noticed my boy’s articulation issue last year, Gwyneth has been my first choice of speech therapist without second thought. Due to covid pandemic, the therapy sessions had been hold through zoom. It was not easy to sit through online sessions for a 6years old boy, but Gwyneth managed to make it fun and attracted my boy attention. Gwyneth had also always given us prompt response and advice to guide my boy through on daily basis. Our heartfelt appreciation to Gwyneth in helping our children to overcome their speech issue. Thank you so much, Gwyneth! We highly recommend Gwyneth for her professionalism in speech therapy.
– Mrs Lew
YY was seen by Gwyneth via Zoom during the COVID period in 2022. He had a lateral lisp of sounds s, sh and ch. Mum was diligent in following through with home exercises.
I would highly recommend Gwyneth to those looking for support and guidance in feminizing their voice (or voice therapy in general).
She is very supportive and caring, and made me feel comfortable and at ease from our first meeting. The sessions were fun and engaging; she was encouraging with her compliments and constructive with with her criticism. The smile she gave when things were going well made all the effort worthwhile.
I left every session impressed with how generous she was with her time, care, and expertise. I feel very fortunate to have met her when I did during my transition.In terms of results, she demonstrated a very effective knowledge of the field leaving me very pleased; I’m gendered correctly on the phone very reliably and have no anxiety with how my voice might be perceived when holding conversations in person. I’ve recently switched jobs and at no point during the several rounds of interviews did I have to spend any significant effort in achieving the voice I wanted, so thank you Gwyneth for giving me to tools to do this.
Ellie saw me for 13 sessions. I’m glad she achieved a consistent voice in public. She is now exploring her singing voice in both the lower and upper register
My voice has always been very deep and masculine, so I was quite worried about whether I would be able to achieve a feminine voice. But 6 months later I managed to achieve a female sounding voice. Gwyneth patiently taught me how to raise my pitch and improve my resonance throughout our sessions and provided constant encouragement which help me feel less embarrassed about the voices I make. Thank you ! I’m glad I decided to start on voice therapy
Emilia
Well done Emilia! She has consented for the following 2 audio clips to be posted on the website. She continues to check in with Gwyneth from time to time.

Gwyneth saved my voice! I hurt my voice at a singing class and perhaps I didn’t realise how many bad habits I had vocally until I had injured myself and went to her to seek help. She’s very patient and helped me learn how to better use my voice, heal my voice and teach me about sustaining my voice because I have a high vocal load as a performer and teacher. I am so grateful for the healing that has come with her and have been able to use the tools she’s given me for my shows, classes, voiceovers and work. She really wants the best for you and your voice and I have benefitted greatly from working with her.
– Shanice
Shanice is a professional stage performer/host and dance teacher. She was referred to me by her singing teacher. Her singing teacher was quick to identify that Shanice was experiencing changes in her voice. When Shanice first saw me, her voice had breaks and jitter. The pain and vocal tension that she experienced was brought about by a combination of having a serious upper respiratory tract infection and a continued vocal demand in her teaching and performances.
Shanice’s vocal tension was brought on by her speaking roles more than her singing. (This is a fairly common scenario among singer/performers) Unfortunately, singing tipped the balance and that caused her to lose confidence in singing.
She saw an ENT and her stroboscopic examination cleared her of any vocal pathology.
We worked on her speaking and acting voice when taking on various animated roles. With her awareness of her voice type and what she could do healthily, the pain gradually subsided. Thank you for sharing insights into the acting/performing world. It was a nice collaboration between therapist and performer. With this awareness, I encouraged her to return to singing and build her confidence again.
