Now a disclaimer; I'm not FtM, but non-binary and struggling with vocal dysphoria. I've had voice masculinization therapy on my mind for a long while now, but unfortunately gender-affirming vocal therapy is near-nonexistent in the conservative country I live in. (fuck this place tbh) Therefore, I've been thinking of having sessions online instead, but I've had difficulties finding any practitioners or services. Even the few I have found, were extremely expensive at $120-150 USD per individual session! Needless to say I cannot afford that sort of budget (⁠@⁠_⁠@⁠;⁠)

So... any online recommendations where I can get therapy for cheaper than this? Any and all advice is much needed and appreciated.

You're non-binary, so this may not apply to you, but I've heard for FtM that HRT helps deepen vocal chords.

You may be able to watch some TransVoiceLessons videos on YouTube and work on the opposite of what they're teaching. It's mostly geared towards feminization, but there are some good exercises that should help you with getting started?

Good luck ❤️
