Summary

The aim of this project is to investigate the short- and the longer-term effect of intonation training on vocal characteristics, listener perceptions and patient related outcome measures (PROMS) in gender diverse people using a randomized sham-controlled trial.

Conditions

  • Gender Dysphoria

Interventions

OTHER

Intonation training

The participants will receive intonation training (1h/week) for four weeks, aiming for more gender congruent intonation patterns.

OTHER

Sham therapy + intonation training

The participants will first receive four weeks of sham therapy (with no expected effect on speech), during which information on voice functioning, voice surgery, voice hygiene, and transgender health care will be provided. In addition, during sham therapy, active intervention will be given around nonverbal communication. After four weeks of sham therapy, for ethical reasons, subjects in this group will also receive four weeks of intonation training (aiming for more gender congruent intonation patterns).
