Listener judgments of gender are influenced by both f0 and VSA, with VSA being particularly important for transgender talkers.
The study measured voice characteristics of 60 talkers, using linear mixed effects models to analyze how acoustic cues impacted perceived gender.
Findings indicate that gender perceptions vary significantly with prototypical voice cues, complicating straightforward associations between voice features and gender.
Listeners showed varied weighting of VSA and f0, particularly when assessing transgender talkers with non-prototypical f0 values where judgments relied more on VSA.
