Pocket voice lab

People who want to change or strengthen their voice (gender-affirming pitch/resonance, public-speaking presence, singing range) get almost no objective feedback between sessions. One-on-one speech-language pathology or vocal coaching is expensive, geographically limited, and intermittent, so practice happens blind. Users can't see whether their pitch is landing in target, whether resonance is shifting, or whether they are straining — and they have no longitudinal record of progress to stay motivated or to share with a clinician.

Competitive saturation
