The purpose of this study was to investigate the acoustic characteristics of transgenders’ voice. This study obtained acoustic measurements (F0, jitter, shimmer, and NHR) of 45 subjects (15 male adults, 15 female adults, and 15 ransgender(male to female)) and compared acoustic measurements of the vowel /a/ produced by 3 groups. The MDVP was used to measure the acoustic parameters. A one-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. The results were as follow: Firstly, there was a significant difference among the 3 groups in F0. And F0 of transgenders was higher than that of male group and lower than that of female group. Secondly, there was a significant difference between male and transgender group in jitter and shimmer so that the transgender had a tendency to phonate roughly than male.
