Voice Training vs. Surgery: The Truth You Need to Know

Is voice surgery better than mtf voice training—or just different? Let’s unpack the truth.
If you’ve been wondering whether you need surgery to feminize your voice, this video will help you make an informed decision. Gender-affirming voice teacher Renée Yoxon (they/them) breaks down the real differences between voice training and voice surgery—what each one offers, who they’re for, and how they can actually work together.

You’ll learn:
What voice feminization surgery (like Wendler’s glottoplasty) actually changes—and what it doesn’t
Who might be a good candidate for voice surgery
Why most patients still need training before and after surgery
How mtf voice training can reshape pitch, resonance, vocal weight, and more—without surgery
Why training is a great first step, no matter where you’re headed

Whether you’re transfeminine, nonbinary, or just exploring your options, this video will help you cut through the myths and understand the tools available to you.
