This Phone App Helps Transgender Users Change The Pitch And Tone Of Their Voices

buzzfeedlgbt reports on this amazing app:

Speech Pathologist Kathe Perez has been working with trans clients for years. She recalls one patient’s insightful remark: “It’s that when I talk, it really isn’t a reflection of my soul – it isn’t a reflection of who I am.”

…

Perez has now developed Eva, the first phone app designed to help transgender users change the pitch and tone of their voice to reflect their identity.

…

Eva (Exceptional Voice App) is an entire suite of voice training mobile app products for both trans men and women. The app guides users through various lessons and breathing exercises.

…

The app’s website states it will take at least 6 to 12 months to effectively alter one’s voice. This video clip features an example “before and after” segment, having a user sample her “original” and “altered” voice:

As one user of the app put it: “Voice can be a real liability. There are definitely large parts of this country, even this state, where it’s dangerous to be trans. It can be a matter of life or death.”

At just $4.99, this app is a far more affordable option for users than visiting a vocal coach or speech pathologist. What a great resource!

[Video description: Rachel, a trans woman, talks about the new Wolverine movie and reads a paragraph about rainbows; the voice pathologist working with her reports that her voice is in at g3/ga3, in the 196-220 hrz range. Rachel then demonstrates her “before” voice, talking more about the movie and reading the rainbow paragrah again; the voice pathologist reports that her voice is at about 131 hurtz, the C3 level. The voice pathologist then asks Rachel to switch back to her normal (current) range and say three things she’s going to be doing with her day, which Rachel does, and is reported at 208 hrz, g3.]

I love Mara Wilson so much.

[lizdrawsgals]

I’ve been crying a lot. I am in complete shock and I’m a big mess right now.

I can’t do anything where I am for the victims, so I did what I can do best, draw.

Everything I can is to send love to Orlando victims and hope it will reach them…

So this is a peace dove tainted with the major flags’ colors and I’m sorry if I couldn’t represent all spectrums…

The Orlando shootings won’t stop us being us.

[kenna-art]

I’m unable to hold vigil tonight home in Orlando with my family and friends so I did all I could do: Make art. To all of my fellow Orlando LGBT+ family, and those elsewhere, I love you all. Let’s hold fast and stay strong in these tough times. In a world filled with such hate, let’s show that love will always win.
