Yeson Voice Center

Have any of you had voice feminization surgery done by them or know someone who has? I've watched before and after videos on youtube of transsexuals who went there to get voice feminization surgery done, and let me tell you, the "after" is AMAZING! The first time I watched it I was sooo excited knowing there was hope for me to pass with my voice.

But...then I saw the price it cost. I don't know if $7,380 USD is considered a lot in America, but here in South Africa that is equal to about R81,180 South African Rand , which is a looooooot. I don't know if I will ever be able to afford it :(

The price in U.S. dollars is about 1/4 of what SRS costs here out of pocket.

so it's still expensive but not that expensive

Melanie, over at Susans.org is a dedicated voice forum that has multiple transwomen who have gone to Yeson. Jenny is the most popular of that bunch and she and others can answer lots of questions for you should you have them. Some are going there soon. Some have recently returned. Some did it last year. Dr. Kim is producing consistently amazing results with his voice surgery. You might find more info over there about YVC, Dr. Kim, procedures, pricing, etc. I know that you will find lots of satisfied customers over there who can usually give you before and after voice recordings that demonstrate how effective Dr. Kim's technique has been for them.

I know the topic is about voice surgery but let me say, I had thought there was no way at all I could have a Fem Voice. I could not afford that kind of money and considering all the other stuff I would need to buy in the future I just figured I was stuck and it was hopeless. I had tried some of the methods that I found on You tube but after trying several for a month or two, I didnt notice any difference, I thought I sounded like a man trying to do a girl impression. I have up for a few months but once again became desperate for a fem voice, so I went back to practicing again and after a long while I started to notice slight changes.

Nothing crazy but I kept going anyway.

Well finally there came a day where I was meeting some people that knew a was trans but didnt know what kind of voice I had, so I used my fem voice And figured what the heck, they dont know me so I didnt feel much risk in using it.

Well, much to my surprise I got many compliments on how great my voice sounded and was being asked how I was able to achieve it ?!!

Huh?! What?! Who? Me?!! Wow !!

What an awesome inspiration!

It motivated me to practice even more.

So, now that I wasnt wasting my time I started working on my pronunciation of consonants.

I feel really comfortable with my fem voice now and I saved a BUNCH of money! I have a deep male voice and alot of chest vibrato. But with practice I can now flip back and forth between the two with little effort. (Although the longer I stay in one voice it becomes harder to switch to the other but not a big deal) So IMHO surgery is NOT NEEDED for this ! Hopefully this fact does not get forgotten due to the option of surgery for some.
