Hilary specializes in helping trans, non-binary, and gender diverse people of all ages communicate with greater authenticity and self confidence. She helps to explore and create desired changes in voice and speech using techniques to modify pitch, resonance, intonation, and prosody, as well as speech patterns and non-verbal communication, including body language. Hilary helps to discover and uncover one's authentic voice--the voice within that most fully and genuinely reflects them. This process is technical as much as it is intuitive, inwardly reflective, and highly individual, ensuring that one is not simply "putting on" or fabricating a voice, but they are accessing and expressing who they truly are.

Actors and other professional voice users may have unique needs and challenges with voice and speech. Vocal projection, speech articulation, accent/dialect modification, vocal fold health, and the ability to express emotions are skills that many voice professionals may need. Having trained and performed as an actor herself for many years, Hilary understands these needs and she wants to help acting and other voice professionals succeed! She has served as a guest instructor at Kimball Studio in New York City.
