Claire Michelle Burgess transitioned in 2014 and spent a few years developing her own voice after years of studying the voice at various levels both internationally and in Washington. She studied vocal performance at Central Michigan University where she soon found herself frustrated by the narrow focus of the education she was receiving. Through years of post private study in both voice and business entrepreneurship, she built Seattle Voice Lab to a team of 36 and has helped thousands of trans voices from all over the world.
