I think not as much, or I guess as long as they are doing testosterone. That hormone alters the vocal cords, but there isn’t an easy way back. That said, I’m a trans woman so I acutely feel the ravages it did to me, if there are trans men in the audience I would love to hear from them.

Edited to fix a couple typos for clarity.

There is voice training for transmascs, but they do have a leg up in how testosterone actually changes their voice. Most of their training would be about masculine speech patterns to learn and feminine ones to unlearn. Using volume for intonation and emphasis instead of pitch for example (the reverse of what fem voice training would do).

Excellent point! There is a lot to sounding like the gender you are that isn’t just the pitch! Also to the other trans fems, while it’s true that the changes aren’t reversible easily, you can learn to control your voice and no one will know the difference. So don’t let jerks get you down!

testosterone will thicken vocal folds, helping with weight, but it won't increase the size of the vocal tract, so trans masculine voices often sound overfull and gnome-ish
