Trans people often suffer from voice dysphoria. The right kind of coaching can change everything.

Conversations around gender-affirming care tend to focus on physical characteristics, but voice is often a critical piece of the puzzle.

I did vocal training for a few months, and my voice is very feminine. I haven't been misgendered in years, in no small part thanks to the voice training. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone with voice dysphoria (or anyone that wants to sing well too!). It also taught me the tools to modify my voice to sound however I want, which has lent me a lot of versatility in running ttrpg games. I can play several characters in the same scene, masculine and feminine, and it's immediately obvious who is speaking. 10/10

I took lessons every few days from a local voice coach. There are online voice coaching options as well, and likely lots of free resources, though I find that direct feedback is the best for learning.
