Can Voice Feminisation harm my voice?

Many clients that come to us having already attempted some voice therapy independently using YouTube videos or voice Apps.  They are often concerned that they may have harmed their voice. 

Inappropriate voice use may strain or cause tension leading to voice damage known as Muscle Tension Dysphonia.  In some research studies, up to 30% of Male to female Transgender Voice clients had a voice disorder in their initial assessment caused by trauma to the voice box (larynx). Muscle Tension Dysphonia can be caused by excessive effort.

You can read more about Muscle Tension Dysphonia here. It can be caused by excessive elevation of the larynx, poor vocal hygiene, excessive tension and using an inappropriate pitch level. Excessive breathiness also leads to excessive tension in the larynx.
