voice resources for trans people on T
I'm researching this a little anyway, so I'll make this a thread of helpful resources about voice changes and voice therapy for trans men and other trans people on T.
The Good Men Project has this summary of a study of 30 trans men's voices. They found T was typically very successful at bringing the voice into the average cis male range, but other aspects of making the voice sound masculine need voice therapy.

Here's the study itself, in Scientific Reports: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82134-2

Constansis, "The Changing Female-To-Male (FTM) Voice," in the Radical Musicology journal. A lot of practical information about how to do voice therapy during transition in order to have a healthy, expressive voice, and prevent hoarseness or loss of singing range.
