Resumo:
Background: The voice is an aspect of communication capable of designating an individual's gender. Thus, many transsexual women seek speech therapy to adapt their vocal parameters. Objective: To verify the effects of using Finnish tubes and the effectiveness of speech therapy on the vocal quality of two transsexual women. Methods: Anamnesis, perceptual auditory evaluation of the voice, quality of life protocol in voice-QVV and acoustic analysis were performed to determine vocal patterns. Participant 1 performed only the exercise using Finnish tubes at a single time, while Participant 2 performed vocal therapy, with weekly sessions, for 8 months. Results: There was an improvement in vocal quality, an increase in fundamental frequency, an increase in the intensity and quantity of harmonics after the use of Finnish tubes. While through speech therapy, breathing adequacy, increased respiratory capacity, improved resonance, vocal projection, increased fundamental frequency, increased intensity and automation of a softer voice in spontaneous speech were verified. Conclusions: The use of Finnish Tubes can help in the vocal improvement of the transsexual woman. However, speech therapy plays a fundamental role in adapting all communicative aspects, in addition to providing the necessary care for maintaining voice.
