	<ABSTRACT>Having being a professional singer for many years before his official transition in 2003 made it imperative for Alexandros N. Constansis to research the changing FTM voice and discover if, contrary to established views, it was possible for the new vocal persona to retain a good singing ability. He started in 2002 by anticipating his own changes and initially focused on academic works dealing with the closest possible equivalent &acirc;€“ the vocal as well as general transition from child to adolescent and consequently to adult biomale.  However, he soon realised that there were far more significant factors to be taken into consideration: among them age, bodily and laryngeal structure before transition. This work deals with original theories, methods and results obtained from sixteen individuals, including the author, from 2002 to date.      </ABSTRACT>
