Mobile App for Transgender Voice Modification Training

This study is testing a new mobile app called "Attuned" designed to help transgender and gender diverse individuals modify their voice. Researchers want to see if using the Attuned app for 11 weeks is as good as or better than traditional in-person voice therapy. They will measure how participants feel about their voices and how their voices actually sound. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, identify as transgender, can read and write English, and have an iOS or Android device. The study is currently recruiting 50 participants, but its overall status is unclear.
