Yeson - does talking loudly/shouting sound more feminine?

[FilaFord]

Like at live events; concerts, sporting events, my family dinner.

My voice is pretty gnarly from 15 years of heavy metal, binge drinking, and chain-smoking.  All of that is behind me now, and I am going to be going to Yeson sometime in the next year.  In the meantime I am working with a voice therapist to try and make my voice sound more feminine and less falsetto.   Just kind of curious if I will ever be able to cough, sneeze, laugh, or yell in a feminine manner.  I have kids, I'm always yelling... lol

Though I'd trying necro'ing this one. lol  I'd like to hear from Yeson girls as well on this. 🙂

I have been told by 2 people now that one of the most obvious changes from the surgery now at 9 weeks is that my laughter changed completely. This is so cool. My voice also continues to change, apparently however it is close enough to my pre op trained voice that it is not so much perceived as a big change, but the laughter did stick out. I am still avoiding to shout - I feel its not a good thing to do for some more weeks until more healing has happened.

I agree with Anja about the laugh, mine is also quite light and naturally female sounding.  I had occasion to let out a scream recently and it sounded totally girly, not usual for me.  Yelling still comes down to conscious pitch choice - when I find myself trying to get the dog's attention, I'll lower my pitch, but calling out around the house I choose a more neutral pitch and it comes out sounding fine.  I guess everyone's different, but for me I'm not worried about those two parts of my results.  Still wanting to lose the hoarseness  but that was expected to be a longer recovery so I'm not surprised by it.  Vocal exercises really help strengthen the voice, so talking sounds much better for longer the more time I spend in therapy and doing the drills.
