    As someone who has looked into voice training a lot, at least the basic ideas I’m sure you can. None of it is necessarily specific to transfems and I would assume all the mechanisms behind feminizing your voice will be covered. The part that people might ask about that’s more specific is probably which parts are most important for being recognized as feminine (and the answer from what I gathered is kinda just “it’s complicated but it’s not just pitch”).

      i’m a musician, so this is the way i think of it: men sound like woodwinds, women sound like strings. sometimes the pitches overlap, but usually women are an octave higher. if you start as a lyric soprano and can stretch yourself down to alto, or as a bass stretching yourself up to a tenor, you can get the rest of the way to “passing” just by changing your tone and cadence.
