ABOUT DONNA
ABOUT DONNA
Hi, I’m Donna Flynn. I’ve dedicated my career to helping people discover a voice that truly fits who they are. Over the years, I’ve trained with leading programs across North America, from the University of British Columbia to the University of Pittsburgh, and earned certifications in breathing science, voice care, gender-affirming communication, and motivational coaching. This mix of evidence-based methods and practical training means you’re in experienced, capable hands.
But credentials are only the beginning. What truly sets this personalized training apart is how I work with people — with honesty, warmth, and respect. I bring over twenty years of experience supporting people from all walks of life, so I understand that each story and each journey is unique. I believe voice training is about revealing the best of you, not changing you. Together, we’ll build skills that help you move easier through your day-to-day life.
Whether you’re seeking to align your voice with your gender identity, speak with more confidence, or simply breathe easier, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and courage. You deserve to feel proud of the way you sound — and I’ll guide you step by step to get there.
