PSA for any trans+ person looking to start, or currently doing, any kind of voice training
Seattle Voice Lab has broken their silence over a former employee of theirs (Jimmy Chen), who set up his own voice coaching service called Trans Voice Lab.
We need to address Trans Voice Lab.
We highly recommend watching / listening to the whole video, but here are some key points within their video:
- Jimmy's employment was terminated for "manipulative teaching practices and dishonesty towards" their students.
- He downloaded their bespoke training materials (SVL's intellectual property) and client lists (!!!), then used these to set up his own voice coaching service and write a book.
- SVL didn't want to have to make the video, but has felt obliged to do so.
- SVL is pursuing "legal counsel" over Jimmy's actions.
tl;dr
- Avoid any videos or guides from Jimmy Chen.
- Avoid using Trans Voice Lab at all costs.
Boosts and crossposts very welcome, as we need to make more folks aware of this
