Self-Selected Sliding Scale Guide

Interested in attending our two-day workshop with a discount, but unsure what amount to request? We're here to help!

Please Note: The following cost reduction options are only available if you: identify as trans, non-binary, or gender-diverse; and are currently offering (or plan on offering) gender-affirming voice work (GAVW) as a service. 

We know if can be uncomfortable to ask for financial assistance, particularly when multiple levels of cost reduction are offered. How are you supposed to choose what discount is appropriate? Are you asking for too much of a discount, or too little? It's difficult to figure out on your own! That's why we've provided the following outline to help you decide! This model is adapted from the Green Bottle Model, designed by Alexis J Cunningfolk. Read the statements below each price point and reflect on which most closely represent your financial situation. If you find yourself agreeing with the statements under one heading, that's the price we suggest you pay!
