The research objective was to present a speech-language therapy intervention for voice readjustment of a male transgender after the use of hormones. We will initially approach the issue from the social and biological perspectives, besides presenting the process of hormonal intervention. Subsequently, we will explain the role of Speech-Language Therapy in the vocal readjustment process, demonstrating the phases of care performed in the vocal readjustment project of the Veiga de Almeida University transgender public. Acoustic analysis of the voices of two transgender men before and after speech-language therapy will be presented. For this, speech samples of sentences were used.
