#voice training

What if there was a collar for voice training where whenever you lost the girl voice it would shock you. As you get better at it it would slowly dial in on what is/isn’t acceptable

Reminder that masc voice training is a thing! So if you have voice dysphoria you might wanna try it at least for a month and see if it helps :]

Oh boy. This video is scary. Why? Because it's a genuine, wholehearted try. No morning voice. No "oh I'm just snapping into this". No "oh I haven't voice trained in months". While I'm still using my masculine voice daily, I do voice train from time to time. Not consistently and not well, and not with targeted effort or practice. But I did it today as well, with focus on physicality and muscular positions. And.... It's not good. I know it's not. But here it is:

If you want to listen, critique, and judge, please do! I want to hear it. I know a million things already that I can do and practice to make it better. And it will get better. But I need to be kept accountable. I post these videos here, because having a "point" or an audience helps me be more regular with it. So thanks for being that outlet. It really does help me think about voice training more often.

Cis people Everyone should really get onto this voice training shit. Like, you can just sound like whatever youse want!

Even before I figured out that I’m a woman, I was pretty into doing voices.

Like, I had an announcer voice, a narrator voice, a comically bourgeois voice, an overcompensatingly deep & masculine voice, a pretty decent trump impression (for the bit), and so many more!

Even ignoring the comedic and situational uses (plus the fact that it’s an employable skill), you can literally just subtly shift peoples’ first impressions of you JUST by speaking differently!

Maybe I’m just hot, funny, and predisposed to social manipulation– but I literally have no clue why people don’t take advantage of this!

I keep going back and forth between “I don’t need to voice train to be valid”

And

“I hate my voice so I just won’t speak”

Why can’t things just be simple

I think inbetween the messages of "its okay if you don't want to do all the things in transition" "It's okay if you don't pass" etc I got the feeling like those were responses to a mainline opinion I never was exposed to.

There's lots of "being trans is great" but I don't remember ever really seeing "keep going with transition" "it might be hard but it will be rewarding"

There's people who take great identity in the transition stuff they don't do and that's absolutely fine and fantastic.

But where are my girls telling me to keep practicing voice training? Where's my encouragement to get my facial hair removed (one of the best things in my life btw) there's no specificity.

If you don't want to do these things that's fine (after examining why you don't) but you should try to transition even the stuff that's hard, if you want it.

I questioned training my voice at all as there was a point where I felt like the objective was so hard it was an unreasonable expectation to place on me and I readily found people saying it was fine, but what I really needed were people who could advise me to keep going.

Voice training *is* the hardest part I've done so far and it does take a long time and it's so slow you don't really see how it incorporates itself with your speech, but even passively doing a little bit every so often did make noticeable changes to my voice that someone who knew me closely for a long time, pointed out immediately upon meeting me again, and because of that recognition it launched me into trying more all time.

Keep trying, keep practicing. Whatever it is keep pushing towards. Don't get disheartened because it's hard. Remember that you want it and just keep practicing because it will come. Keep pushing and searching because you will find a way. Yes a lot of people feel they cannot and give up even and I won't lie being trans absolutely is battered with attacks to make you feel like it's not possible but it actually has always been possible and belief backed by action, persistent action, is the way

Nobody told me that if I did feminizing voice training for 2 years I’d sound like a complete faggot anytime I tried to voice a male dnd character. I have got this really cool Viking guy but any time I try his voice I sound like a sad femboy

I dont know what Transgirl needs to hear this but singing along to "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus provides exercise to the muscles you need to train to do voice training, namely constricting the throat and pushing your larynx and Adam's Apple up while keeping your pitch normal.

It won't get your voice to sound fem by itself but if you are at step 1 of voice training it is a good way to "feel" what muscles you need to use.

Best part is the song is also kind of off key so nobody judges you for singing it poorly.

Random voice thing. The voice still sounds very artificial imo, but we'll see how that changes over time

Doing voice training finally and I recorded myself a message for when I'm feeling dysphoric. It's basically just "Hey, [name]. It's you. You've got this. This message is proof. Don't give up." and when I played it back to see how it turned out I cried a bit. Like "Holy shit...that's me. That's me!!! THAT VOICE IS MINE!?!? IT'S SO PRETTY!!!"
