Title: Negative effects of Yeson? / Should I go undergo an op?
Post by: divineintervention on October 25, 2014, 08:35:13 AM
Hi all,

  I am considering Yeson for altering the pitch of my voice - most people say I have no problem passing in terms of voice, but I am considering the surgery just to have a more "natural" sounding voice.

  I take a cautious approach to surgery, but this new innovative way of altering the pitch sounds risk-minimal. Just wondering if I got this right? Are there any side effects which are risky to it (aside from the hoarseness that the website "claims" that it'll go away?).

  I would love to hear from those that have had the surgery.

  Thank you! (I'm posting this as most of the posts that I've ran through seem to only state the positive benefits C:

  Here is my voice: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0b9xpF4wj92

  The one above is with effort, this is for me, effortless: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0Rhb9gn3hhJ (probably how I sound in the morning if someone wakes me up lol)

  Please feedback what you think! Thank you!

My tipp would be to try and get rid of some of the vocal fry. it makes the voice not less feminine really, but I think it is a habit that annoys people ;) - other than that, the voice is good - if it takes a lot of effort, well then you may consider surgery, but if you are ok with doing that, it works.
