In this clip, Christella Antoni explains that a short course of voice therapy before surgery can quickly raise a person’s voice toward a gender-neutral range (around 140–160 Hz) and often into a feminine range sooner than expected, sometimes in as few as four sessions. Christella adds that many people may be satisfied at that level without further work, while those aiming for a higher range (about 160–180 Hz) can often reach it with roughly another four sessions.
