There are several methods of taking testosterone, including injections and pills (also creams, topical, etc).
These different methods affect how much testosterone you're getting, but in any case you're still taking testosterone. It might take longer to notice changes, but the changes will be the same.
So yes, he will grow facial hair and his voice will deepen. But taking pills, it could be a while before he notices changes.
I'm partial to injection, simply because that is what my partner is on. What is his reasoning behind wanting the pill? Is he afraid of needles?

The pills should give him all the effects of testosterone injections, although pills are not as powerful and may take a little bit longer to work. But the voice will deepen, body and facial hair will increase, and male pattern baldness is a possibility.

yes taking testosterone will give him the deeped voice and also the facial hair. its the same hormone im trying to get rid of myself because it gives those male traits i cant stand having.
he needs to be sure that is what he wants because once the voice changes there is no going back and facial hair is hell to get rid of.
