I know that what I'm about to suggest/request would be incredibly expensive to implement, but it would represent an incredible gesture of good will and inclusion in the community towards trans/non-binary players.
Hire at least one trans/non-binary voice actor whose tone diverges from a stereotypical masculine and feminine delivery.
I can understand if it's difficult to understand exactly what I'm asking for because there is no such thing as a stereotypical 'trans voice.' I mean, there sort of is. But it's more like trans/non-binary folks share a common experience of dysphoria around the sound of their voice. If you listen to a lot of different trans/non-binary people speak, you can appreciate subtle differences in the sound of people's speech. These subtle differences tend to manifest, although not always, when folks seek out gender-affirming voice care. These services aim to alleviate the stress and discomfort of dysphoria via vocal cord surgeries, hormone therapy and/or vocal training with a specialized coach. These experiences may explain some of what I'm talking about, but I don't think they are necessary prerequisites for the subtlety I'm trying to describe.
At the end of the day, I wish my characters could sound like Jesse James Keitel, Ian Alexander, or Mason Alexander Park. For now, I'm feel like I'm stuck with options that are more or less irritating because I'm constantly reminding myself that a voice line I just heard is supposed to be what my character said. It just doesn't sound like what I've decided the character should sound like in my own head.
How about no?
