This short student documentary is a crossed portrait of two transgender women working on their voice to make it sound more feminine and to match the new person they have become. One of them is 67 years-old Bernie Wagenblast, one of New York’s most famous voices. She is one of the male subway voices, heard by millions of commuters every day. She feels comfortable with both her voices. The other character is 25 years-old Jade Stephan, who is currently seeing a voice therapist to help her work on her voice. This film explores their relationship to their voices and how voices can be a factor of integration into society.
