Hey guys!
I'm new to here but I've been viewing this post for a long time
![Tongue :P](https://www.susans.org/Smileys/susans/tongue.gif)
In fact, I just went to Yeson (and I'm still in Seoul!) for this VFS and I'm gonna share a different experience in Yeson

I think I went through all that "a" "e" "i" "o" "u" things and "low note" "high note" as most of you did and then I read a passage.
After the examinations, Dr. Kim told me, "Your vocal folds are already in female length and female shape, even on the smaller side of the average" and then he dismissed me without letting me do this surgery for the reason that "If I perform this surgery for you, it will just be a very artificial odd "male voice" speaking in 230-ish Hz if you don't learn how to speak like a female(!!), and after you learn, both your male and female voices will sound artificially too high"

He also told me, when I attempted to hit soprano C when he made me do a falsetto, I'm using female mechanism instead of male falsetto.
I was so surprised and happy, but also sad with "why I still sound like a dude with a gifted female cords", and I tried to persuade myself by: "Michael Maniaci is a natural male soprano, and he still speaks like a male"

So this trip I'm left with infinitely many curiosities.
To those of you who actually went over this surgery, did you learn minimally any kind of vocal technique or voice therapy to make your voice sound female? I never tried... and my speaking is always very deep-chesty-heavy (aka you can feel your breast vibrating really hard when speaking).
