Speech Therapy

This is a set of documents I obtained from the Veterans Administration Health System while I was in transition.  I did Speech Therapy through their Speech and Audiology Department.

You can download the .pdf file here.

You can also purchase Calpernia Adams' Finding Your Female Voice Speech Therapy Program.  It has a .pdf and a disc of audio files.  She gets good results with this audio disc.  The link to buy the disc in the pdf file below.

There's a few computer programs that will help you measure the pitch, resonance and db level of your voice.

Speech therapy has limitations, but it will help teach you to feminize your voice to an extent. However, once you stop seeing gains, that's it; you're maxed out on any further progress.  If it is acceptable to you, then you will need nothing further.

If it is not acceptable, you will need surgery to have your vocal chords altered to produce a feminine pitch.

There are many known surgeons that can do vocal chord surgeries, but I'll list the most prevalent three.
