The upper pitch range of the human voice is, on average, about half as high in males as in females. [3] Even after controlling for body height and volume, the male voice remains lower. Charles Darwin suggested that the human voice evolved through intersexual sexual selection, [4] via female mate choices.
The speed of sound at room temperature (20°C) is 343.15 m/s. [4] Using the formula =, we have: Typical female voices range from 1.3 metres (4 ft) to 2 metres (7 ft). Typical male voices range from 2.2 metres (7 ft) to 4 metres (13 ft).
During puberty, changes in the larynx typically result in a decrease in pitch in both males and females. On average, the male voice deepens by one octave while the female voice lowers by a few semitones. [7] The fundamental frequency (pitch) of an adult female typically falls between 165 and 255 Hz and an adult male between 85 and 180 Hz. [8]
A soprano (Italian pronunciation: [soˈpraːno]) is a type of classical singing voice and has the highest vocal range of all voice types.The soprano's vocal range (using scientific pitch notation) is from approximately middle C (C 4) = 261 Hz to "high A" (A 5) = 880 Hz in choral music, or to "soprano C" (C 6, two octaves above middle C) = 1046 Hz or higher in operatic music.
Speakers vary their speed of speaking according to contextual and physical factors. A typical speaking rate for English is 4 syllables per second, [5] but in different emotional or social contexts the rate may vary, one study reporting a range between 3.3 and 5.9 syl/sec, [6] Another study found significant differences in speaking rate between story-telling and taking part in an interview.

Then the therapist and the individual determine what the target pitch should be, based on the gender acceptable range for cis women (i.e. a socially acceptable pitch based on the average woman's vocal pitch range). When therapy begins, they establish a starting frequency to work on, that is slightly above the individual's SFF. [10]
