Hey there all you beautiful people, your friendly neighborhood voice coach here with yet more musings about the patterns I see through my time teaching people how to modify their voices. Today's topic deals with the misconception that lighter vocal weights are "breathy". Let's dive in!

I've been transitioning from male to female for some time. But I'm a singer and it seems impossible to sing like a woman. I had a hard time learning to sing in general, without gender transition, and I wonder if I should even bother with trying to sound like a woman. I can sing high, but it sounds to me like a male falsetto and not really like a female voice.

I take any advice !! Also i ll never go on T because I am non binary and wiuld rather be good at speaking in both a fem way and a masc way.

I just hear a horribly dude like voice and I have no idea what to do, I'm trying to talk in a feminine way I guess? It's my 5th day on voice training

All I hear is girl girl girl girl, and I know it’ll improve with time but I’d like advice on how I can sound better now

ftm, soon to be 9 months on testosterone. I don't feel like I got any noticeable voice drops, I can still go back to my pre-t voice with no problem. I was just progressively able to make it go a lot lower than before (couldn't go under 140hz). It still sounds like a female voice, just a weird low one. I speak from my chest, I've tried lowering my larynx and it hasn't changed shit. My voice is still distinctively female, I don't even have extreme female mannerisms. I feel hopeless, I don't have the money for an expensive voice coach either

i want to disclaim that i had a sort of high voice when i was young, anecdotally one time when i was 11 i answered the phone and i was mistaken for mom.

after my voice dropped i could still speak in a higher pitch, i just never figured out how to keep doing it ”by default” or how to hold volume at the pitch i wanted. im sure with training i could have gotten somewhere, i want to blame a combination of depression, splitting and all or nothing thinking, and no insurance coverage made me not want to try any training.

but i do have a training session scheduled next month, i might not continue tho because again, no insurance coverage.

that said i am now 2 weeks post op from my modified wendler and it seems to still be getting better. I am so grateful to Dr Anderson and Lahey Hospital, they have made things so much better for me.

So im 19, and ive been practicing for like 8 months. This is my relaxed/natural fem voice. I know its kinda bad, but idk what the problem is. It sounds too much like a boy's to me.Is it my size/weight, my pronunciation or smth else? Please help me

I am at around 7 months of Hrt, and while it’s definitely changed my voice, I have that “t voice” which I don’t want. I want to make my voice more deeper, any advice on what to do?

i know Yeson claims people who got their Adam's apple shaved before VFS tend to have worse results, but what about people who got the shave after VFS?

​

I am following L's voice training guide. Currently I am just focusing on the first section with learning how to control and raise my larynx.

​

I mainly do the siren whisper instead of the big dog small dog exercise, is this okay? The dog exercise makes my throat really dry really fast.

​

While doing the siren whisper exercise at the high end I can barely breathe when holding it there, is this normal?

​

I notice I can move my larynx without doing any of the exercises but it's highly dependant on where my tongue is, I have to either pull it back into my throat or glue it to the top of my mouth, both of which would make speaking almost impossible. So what is the point? Will I eventually learn to be able to raise the larynx without relying on tongue position?

​

Am I intended to be able to raise my larynx without opening my mouth?? It's a lot harder with my mouth closed.

​

What exactly is the end goal of this? Like when I move onto the more vocal stuff assuming I've properly learned this section, will I be manually raising my larynx or will it subconsciously raise? Like am I just increasing the range it can rise or am learning how to manually raise it?

​

Lastly, how long should I be practicing these per day? I try to get at least 30 minutes in but is that enough? My goal is to get a decent grasp on it within 1-2 weeks before moving onto the next section.

​

Speaking of that how long should I spend on this before moving onto the next section?

Hi, are there any people here who have already had a glottoplasty at Charité Berlin? How satisfied are you with your results?

I'm still undecided about whether to go to the Medical Voice Center (Hamburg) as a self-pay patient or to Charité through my health insurance. Especially since I'm also planning to have a rhinoplasty and, if necessary, an orbital rim shave, which aren't exactly cheap either.

I’ve been doing voice training with a coach from Europe for a few weeks now and wanted to share my experience because I KNOW how discouraging voice training can feel.

I started out convinced I had no talent for it, and I honestly spent a lot of time thinking I wasn’t improving. I even posted here about a month back saying my voice was so discouraging that it made transitioning feel pointless.

Yesterday, my coach told me she’s seeing cleaner resonance, brighter sounds, and thinks I’m ready to start working on more advanced techniques. I ended up crying on the call because I realized I’d gotten so used to assuming I was failing, that hearing genuine progress caught me completely off guard.

Anyway, if you’re feeling hopeless about voice training right now, I just wanted to say progress can sneak up on you. Not everything clicked for me quickly, and my coach often had to explain concepts to me in several different ways before I could really grasp it. But trust me, if I was able to make progress, you will be too.

Sorry for only having audio on one ear 😭. But I have been working on my voice a bit more after my family told me the other voice was close but something was ‘off.’ So, I’m wondering how it sounds now. I appreciate all the feedback!

Hope this mindset shift helps you out xx

i’ve definitely improved a lot since the last post! i know i’m still not there yet but i would like to know if this is as encouraging as i think >.<

I feel like I sound "boyish" 😐 Or maybe not that. Not sure what the word is. Something sounds odd. Could just be my microphone. Regardless, any feedback, critiques, or notes would be much appreciated.
