Abstract: The lack of vocal identification resulting from gender incongruity can have a significant impact on psychosocial well-being. Scientific literature indicates that hormonal treatments do not influence the feminization of trans women's voices. Therefore, to achieve a voice representative of their declared gender, this group can opt for speech therapy or phonosurgery. The aim of this study was to analyze the therapeutic techniques applied in vocal feminization, particularly speech therapy, glottoplasty, and cricothyroid approximation, with the aim of developing a clinical practice guide to improve interventions and the well-being level of trans women. To this end, a bibliographic search was carried out in the Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases. A total of 12 articles were selected, which were systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and observational studies. It was found that both speech therapy, glottoplasty, and cricothyroid approximation have their advantages and disadvantages. Based on the results obtained and the evaluation of the quality of the evidence, recommendations have been formulated aimed at the group of professionals involved in the process of vocal feminization of trans women. The resulting information from these recommendations should be made available to anyone wishing to undergo vocal feminization treatment so that they can make an informed decision about one of the treatment options.
