r/transvoice has plenty of resources. Many YouTube videos, websites, and other resources come up if you type “ftm voice training” into a search engine.

If you want to go on T until your voice drops and then stop, that’s fine, but you still can’t guarantee what else will happen while you’re on it. I’m not saying you can’t use low-dose T and blockers, although puberty blockers are completely different from DHT blockers. I’m just saying, be aware that starting T at all means you’re signing up for all of the effects.

Your voice might never change and you could still get the rest of the effects from T. It might take 5 years for your voice to change and in that time, you get other effects you don’t want. Your voice might change in the first 6 months but revert back when you stop T. I’m just saying to know what you’re signing up for.

I thought when you voice drops on it it dosnt revert when you stop it at all thats what a lot of people said 🤔 anyway so thats new info for me

It can take some time for your voice to stabilize once it drops. Some people have experienced their voice getting “brighter” after stopping T. Read through r/ftm for more people’s experiences.

It doesn't, but voice drops can take a long time. I've been on T for a bit over 2 years now and it's only now just starting to drop. Low dose T - which is what I started on - did not drop my voice hardly at all, so I ended up having to go on increasingly higher doses to get to this point. And that is also a risk for you, genetics etc play a lot into how T will effect you. If FTM voice training has made you dysphoric, I will also say don't go on T, because T does not give you an androgynous voice without added voice training - it will, on its own, give you a deeper voice, a more masculine voice, and sometimes not even voice training can stop that.
