[edit] Merge

Someone, presumably unaware of this page's existence, started a new page called "voice feminization". I think the two pages should be merged, as they focus on essentially the same topic. Andrea Parton 15:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

That would be me and yes they should be merged and the one that is left should have the other point to the one that has all of the information on it. The question is, which is the better name for the concept. Let me think for a few days and I will get back to you on this. And thank you! I did not know this page existed.

I did a couple of searches and from the results the choice is obvious. I guess I don't need to think about it. FemVoice 03:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unclear

There was a part that read "...speaking pattern uniquely." I went ahead and changed it to "...unique speech patterns," as I believe that's what what attempted. Is this correct? As a minor point, would it work better as "...individualized speech patterns?"

[edit] Incomplete?

This article seems to focus on only one aspect of voice therapy, although it implies there are two. Shouldn't there be something on voice masculization? 58.108.235.216 18:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

  • I wasn't aware this was a requirement for transmen as HRT is usually highly effective in providing voice masculinization through growth of the larynx thru testosterone. I'm going to be bold and add this point :) - Alison☺ 18:22, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Done! I even dug out a cite :) - Alison☺ 18:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
