This makes me sound like Ben Shapiro 💀
Oh no 🤣
@TERFs don't deserve basic rights, and YES 😈
Now there's lowering the resonant frequencies that's left :) Ama made videos about this too
@TERFs don't deserve basic rights, and DO IT, _DO IT._ Make him say “trans rights” or something, I think that would be very funny
He's kinda masculine thought 🥺 So good job
For anyone feeling skeptical about practicing this way, being loud, and potentially embarrassing yourself, if you really, and I mean really want a deeper voice (like this affects you in the long run), you need to ignore what other people think.
I have social anxiety, and it's pretty strong even around my family. But after years of inefficient practice (forcefully trying to make myself sound masculine right of the bat, no vocal practices like this or anything), I've decided that I need to do it the proper way, even it might be embarrassing to be caught in the act because it just wasn't working for me. I've decided that the payout is much more worth it than quitting or using inefficient methods, even if there are some hard obstacles here and there.
Like I said earlier, I have social anxiety, horrible self-esteem, I hate hearing my voice in general, I'm biologically female, not taking any substances or surgeries (and don't plan to), and my voice is naturally much more higher pitched than most females around me, so the pressure is even higher.
So as someone struggling a lot with this I have some things to say: Practice as often as you can. Do not practice once a week/month and expect to have your ideal voice. Get over the anxiety as fast as you can because these things will prohibit you from becoming better. Don't be too hard on yourself, habits- especially the kind your *muscles* need to learn to take a lot of time!
I wish I could do this :(( I’m not out to the people I live with and I’m almost never the only one home. getting a chance to practice even once a month is rare
@@gl1mse Ouch, that sucks. I get how you feel. Depsite my comment, I'm inconsistent as well due to social anxiety (and my family does find it weird and kind of discourage it).
I also recently moved into a new apartment, and sound basically goes through the doors like glass, so that's just great.
It really sucks because I've noticed that for me this is something I have to be very consistent with, otherwise quality completely drops quickly.
But at least you're not alone.
@@gl1mse For me, doing this in the shower, or when speaking to a young child (it's normal to play with them with different voices) helps take off the awkwardness. If anyone asks you are doing singing exercises.
i have social anxiety too, but i can't forgot that people in neighborhood will hear me talking alone and loud. so: i can't do it loud
Sorry if it will sounds rude! Did you still can do your biological voice? I'm asking because I want more masculine voice but also want to speak in my natural voice like the OP.
The neighbors probably think I'm nuts 💀
I STILL SOUND LIKE PETER GRIFFIN WHENEVER I TRY OMG
HELP
🤣
LMAO
Better than nothing
I keep laughing at myself damn I need some respect
😂😂😂😂😂
same here same here.
I am listening on earphones, cause I have a room mate, and she asked what kind of goat crying am I listening to at 1:33
I told her I am watching voice training videos. She kinda knows that I want to be more masc, so she just smiled at it in the end.
I never knew being a choir kid would be So helpful.
Thanks for this! After getting a deeper voice I've had even more people make comments like 'Can you repeat that?' or 'Speak louder' and I know lower pitches are harder to hear, but I've never been able to project well. It makes me feel a little insecure about it even though I love having a deeper voice. This is extremely helpful thanks!
I'm a cis boy... But I'm here cuz I want to sound more like a boy and not like a girl.
I love you so much for these videos.
You seem so nice! Have a great day! ;)
Did it work for you?
same
I hope you get the results you are looking for 😊👍
Ah so the reason i don't pass while practicing is not wanting to alert the parents. Vocal weight! im out here trying to whisper into my recording app wondering why theres no richness lol
Love these vids so much, the clarity in both the femme and masc voices is super impressive.
I had this issue because I guess I forgot I live alone now 😅 Then my worry was my neighbors wondering why I've been going AAAAAaaaaaAaaaa all day
Have an excuse ready if they come into your practising area. E.g. "it's a singing exercise, I want to be able to sing [insert any song here, especially one with a lower-pitch]", "it's for a (male) theatre/DnD character", "I want to be a professional actor/thespian, these are vocal exercises", etc. I think the r/transvoice subreddit has some more in the sidebar.
me too lol
Y'all I just discovered that lowering my lyrinx and increasing the buzziness of my voice makes singing along to ricky montgomery songs easier for me. Thank you for these videos they help me so much :)
It has been 10 months since I started to practice, now I developed a pretty masculine resonance, thank you for this video
Wow, any update?
update please! (★ω★)
omg how are you doing now??
@@user_628ii5jepekn My resonance became a fundamental thing, and I almost stopped thinking about changing my voice, most of it became natural, all that I control is pitch and the amount of space in my mouth
@@Jigenn742 congratss! that's awesome
5:23 i have so much bfdi brainrot that i heard tennis ball reading a wiki article about penguins
LMAO
OH NO I CAN'T UNHEAR XD I used to watch that with my brother all the time XD
BFDI my beloved
ok ngl i am hella struggling w this but im rlly glad these vids exist n stuff
Progress? I'm struggling with it too. The combinations are super hard as well.

Been on T for about 3 months now. This is really going to help me prevent the common nasally sound you usually get with HRT. Thank you!!!
BRO FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS THIS IM TERRIFIED IT WILL HAPPEN TO ME
So not only our voice is going to get swole, but our brains too!
Gonna read the sh*t out of Wikipedia 📖😎🧠
Also, thank you for the video, it's helping so much! 🖤 And good luck to everyone in their journey, you can do it!!
1:50 helped me da most
This is without watching any further in the video
I know dysphoria's a bitch but I think you look really pretty!!!
omg i wish i could practice but i live in a house packed with family that is up all the time during night day with paper thin walls with neighbors
im so close too bec i got the lowering my larynx i just need this hsjsj 😔 sad yeehaw
THE DIFFERENCE HAH THAT IS AMAZING
This video was extremely helpful and you explained adding vocal weight in an easy to understand way. Before my voice unexpectedly broke and I gained buzziness, I used vocal creak, rasping, breathiness, and speaking in a short, brusque way to approximate the buzziness and minimize the harmonics in my voice.
Now I have buzziness, but even though I have been able to sing tenor since puberty, and now with buzziness, vocal weight-wise I'm between a countertenor and a tenor, and sometimes I sound more like a tenor altino. Initially, the melodic, the buzzy, and the bassy parts of my voice were separate, and with the buzzy part of my voice initially unconnected to any other part of my voice. Over a period of a month, each time my voice was pretty much unusable for the day and my voice was cracking at the low end, gradually the buzzy part combined with the melodic part. Now the buzzy part is slowly connecting with the bassy part, (B2 to G2) and it sounds fuller now than it was a month ago, and starting to sound like one voice instead of three.
I'm noticing the progress of my voice adding weight by comparing my voice to the equivalent age of a person who went through a testosterone-dominant puberty. I was always able to mimic different vocal ages well before my voice reached that vocal age. When my vocal age was 12, I could sound like 15 year-olds and 70-year olds. Now my vocal age is about 15-16. I thought that I wouldn't be able to add any more vocal weight, but by doing your vocal exercises, I'm now able to sound like 17-18-year olds.
Thank you so much for explaining this! I've been trying to get a masculine voice that I can add to my repertoire since I've been looking into voice acting related stuff, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was missing. You literally went over everything that I was having issues with and explained how to remedy them with a very simple and comfortable exercise. This really helped a lot, so thank you again!
when you go down a voice masculinisation rabbit hole because trans:
1:14 i accidentally left this video on the background, and when i forgot about it this part sounded at a high volume, and my brain didnt have a better solution than staying still and making the same sound, instead of just pause/lower the volume
by the way ty for this
My voice is stuck on being androgynous
you have such a pretty hair style!
Idk what it is, but ive been trying forever to improve my vocal weight, and this tutorial made it click in a way no other guide has! Thank you!
This is sooo good. I've always had quite a flat and airy vocal. Such interesting exercises to widen a range of expression in my voice 👍
i can never seem to get that sort of raspy sound or buzz in my voice no matter what i try. ive been doing a lot of singing practices because of years of schools removing that part. do you know how to like untrain yourself getting rid of it? ive heard a lot of that being what makes you sound masculine but i dont really have it anymore and i dont know how to get it back.
I'd have to hear how you're doing the exercises to really say - feel free to join Scinguistics though (link in the description) and we can help you troubleshoot what you're doing wrong!
This is so interesting, as a trans girl I’ve got exactly the opposite problem trying to get rid of the buzziness! Would love to hear if you’ve made any progress in the meantime. If I may ask, are you able to do a vocal fry? Because I feel like that’s basically what creates the raspy sound.
Me too! Hadn't considered it was because of choir but you're definitely right
@@blearkob I think I'm having the same issue. Was also in choir, having the exact same problem!
Thank you so much for this, helped a lot
Istg one day I’m gonna show up to school like I hit male puberty-
Following this actually helped me get to a *higher* pitch without my voice cracking!
i sound like len kagamine lmao btw tysm 😭
Lmaaoo
For some reason I sound like Markepliar (hopefully I spelled his name right)
So close on spelling his name right
@@ellenoresmith6504 yikes
I love this video so much. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH
I have a few questions...
How long should I do these if I'm doing them everyday?
Will I ever have a believable masculine voice?
And do I eventually need T to have a more masculine voice?
Sorry if these might be dumb, I'm just curious.
I’m really sure that if you do it correctly your voice will sound believable
The amount of time you need to practice them isn't a straight answer unfortunately. Take it one component at a time and practice until it sounds like you hear in the video.
T will definitely make things easier, and there may be a wider range of masculine voices you have access too, but that doesn't mean you can't get a passing (as loaded and complicated as that concept can be) voice without T.
If you need help self-assessing where you're at, definitely check out the Scinguistics discord and our masculinization workshops! it's also a great place to get peer feedback.
The volume changes scared me so much-
Also, this is soooooo difficult for me
Did I ever said that I love you or nah? Now I said, I love you, thank you 💞💞
Commenting this so I have something to practice reading with, and also, what's the feeling or what ever it is that makes your voice buzzier? I'm still a bit confused on this part, I'm not sure how to do it without increasing my volume a lot. Thank you so much for the video! This is really clear and helpful
if you think pessimistic you‘re closer to the mind of an neanderthal
imagine you are a neanderthal and you‘re walking around in the wild. you see a bush and behind the bush something brown. could be a bear could be a rock if you think it‘s a rock and it‘s a bear you‘re dead if you think it‘s a rock and it‘s a rock you‘re just fine
if you think it‘s a bear and it‘s a bear you‘ll survive if you think it‘s a bear and it‘s a rock you‘re just fine
more neanderthals survived when they were pessimistic and thought it was a bear everytime. that negativ bias is still in our brain till to today with the difference that we don‘t need to be scared of bears. this pessimistic thinking is also in our social thinking because life to a very high degree all social today. that means when you raise a human and don‘t teach him optimism he‘ll be a pessimist because of negativ bias in our brain.
So we can basically think of vocal weight as the result of behaviorally thickened vocal folds- these vocal folds essentially have more mass, which also leads them to spend more time closed during speech. This results a buzzier sound quality.
Try watching the amount of air you push out as you do this. Your loudness is the result of the amount of pressure placed on the vocal folds, and a faster rate of airflow is generally going to bring about more pressure and thus loudness. In other words, more airflow = louder. Less airflow = quieter.

I keep sounding like I'm trying to channel Kermit the frog when I try this. Do you have any advice, or does that mean I'm doing it right?
Same xDDDDDDDDD
Can you channel the two old guys in the balcony? 😂

@@skymaster4121 😂😂 I think I may have heard them in the balconies of my mind...
Hmm, you may be accidently conflating vocal weight and knodel, though it's hard to say for sure without hearing you. Feel free to check out the Scinguistics discord in the description so we can help you better ^-^
@@amaroselessons thank you so much! Will do!
You're literally an angel sent from heaven 🙏🙏
oo okay I think this is what I've been doing wrong, thank you!
Tysm for this!!! It took some tries and listening back to recordings, but it works so well! At first I didn't hear a change (since it doesn't change your pitch) but after comparing this to how I'd normally speak, there's a huge difference !
i can't get the buzz going, but i do have a roommate and i'm trying to be quiet so maybe it's because i'm half whispering?
petition to get her a better camera 👇
At first when I saw this I thought it couldn’t be real but wow my voice got pretty low first hour of trying
This really works! Though, i loose "momentum" really quick and return to femenine voice
Hello, I really appreciated your lessons. I am very self conscious about my voice, and tend to speak very quietly. I do the exercises, but I have trouble with doing them at a louder volume because I'm worried that someone will hear me and I also feel very silly doing them. As a result, It's hard to achieve the buzziness and weight of the voice I'm going for. Any suggestions?
Tbh there's no real way around it, you just have to get comfortable with the idea that someone can hear you
Like, close windows and don't practise at 2am, obviously, but your neighbours probably won't care if they hear you
What if do this exercise with pillow? Pillows make loud noise quiter. Im practicing with pillow rn and im sound more quiet than without it
found these amazing resources on the day my throat feels raspiest :,) i'll have to wait until i'm not sick anymore to practice lol
Nah i dont think you reach a deep voice nah
@@I-i9J hm? because... my throat ached? im confused.
@@arqueeevist Don't mind them, they've been replying to others trying to put them down
Same here 😂❤
I've been watching your videos one-after-the-other lol I love you(r vids)
YES! thnx!
finally i understand what i'm doing wrong
thnx alot!
Glad I could help!
Watching these made me realize that I already accidently trained my voice to do what I want, benefits of choir ig
what specific sorcery is this? can you show me your master?
Haha, thank you! No sorcery here, just voice training ^-^
bro my voice starts cracking like crazy but hopefully this will get easier
Thank you, I have been trying to improve my voice acting, this helps so much
Notes 4:50 and 7:00
Ok, this is most likely very late and you may not see this. But I have a natural deep voice but its still pretty feminine. When I try the exercise I can't really get a masculine voice, it still sounds very feminine, even bringing it up. I feel like there's something I'm missing and could really use some tips to help with it. Also sorry about this being probably early in the morning 😓😓.
Excuse me, is it okay if I join ya’ll in the Discord? I’m a straight cis-gender male, so I don’t want to invade anyone’s space. I’ve always hated my voice. It’s not what I would call stereotypically “feminine”, it’s weak and high pitched/nasally. I’ve definitely had a few people call me “ma’am” on the phone though.. I’m extremely self conscious about it, to the point that I actively avoid talking to people on the phone and using a microphone to talk to people in video games.
Anyway, if it would be okay, I’d really appreciate it. If it’s not, I totally understand.
Anyone is welcome to come to Scinguistics ^-^
Even cis people can experience gender dysphoria, which makes sense when you've experienced people misgendering you on the phone. If the resources and tools that help trans people feel more comfortable with their gender presentation can help others, I feel like they should be shared because everyone deserves to feel comfortable with their bodies and how people gender them.
I found my masculine voice,thank you for the tutorial.And as for me there's a problem that my muscles was very tight when I use my masculine voice to speak.Is this situation normal?
I'm felling the same way idk if I should be worried or not
You shouldn't feel a ton of tension... Where are you feeling it? You can try massaging with your fingers and tensing and untensing the affected areas... Are you getting it when working on vocal weight, larynx height, or both?
@@mikkicky Where are you feeling the tension?
@@amaroselessons I feel the tension in the area where my adam's apple would be. It makes it kinda hard to swallow after practicing
@@mikkicky Does the tension go away or improve after swallowing? I'd try massaging the area as well
Could you please make a video about how to work on having a higher CQ ? that's the part I'm struggling the most while trying to make my voice sound More masculine.
That's what this video is about! If you're still struggling, in the description check out the Scinguistics Discord. Every other Thursday at 6pm EST, I run a voice masculinization workshop you can attend, where you have a chance to get 1-on-1 help with me.
@@amaroselessons ahhh ok I'm sorry for that😅 I hadn't seen the video at the moment I did the comment, your videos have been really helpful honestly, I'm not transgender but my voice didn't change that much during puberty (It sounds a little childish) so that's why I'm trying to train my voice in order to make It sound More masculine.
will training like this damage my singing voice? Im a soprano, will this decrease my range, will I be able to hit high notes again?
ik i’m late but as long as you aren’t staining your voice then you should stay a soprano lol
hopefully your a soprano still!
Watching this as a cis man to hit them low notes
I have NO IDEA if you will ever find this comment but I wanted to ask. So I have subconsciously been practising vocal weight for years. I now know thanks to you.
So how do I combine low larynx and the pitch?
That note is higher but do I take the pitch down to the larynx level.
Or leave the pitch up there and add larynx. I am having great difficulty. Individually I can do all 3.
I'm simply *UNABLE* to combine the two without losing the other.
Edit : Wait after 4 mins : it's not like exclusively both. It feels more mellow on the muscles than individually doing them.
It's like a mixture of both. They are diluting each other.
Am I on the right path teacher?
Hello I found your comment what do I get?
@@RandomPerson28337 🌭🌮🌯🍔🍑🍕🌽🍖🍗🍄🍅🍘🍙🍣🍥🍚🍛🍩🍪🍝🍞🍫🍡🍮🍢🍱🍲🥐🍳🥑🥔🥗🥘🥙🥝
Here you get these 😉.
i can’t even tell if my voice is buzzing at all so how will i know since i don’t wanna get too loud
I'd recommend attending some of the free events on Scinguistics. Every other week at 6pm EDT I run a free vocal masculinization workshop if you're interested! You can also get feedback from other knowledgeable users and ask your questions there.
how long did it take for you to learn it?
and what if your voice is scratchy
I'm a trans woman who already had a fairly deep voice before transition, but through these methods I've further expanded the range of masculine voices I can do.
Regarding vocal scratchiness- I'm not sure, I'd have to hear your voice to give you any kind of assessment from that. Feel free to check out the link to the Scinguistics discord in the description to get more in depth help.
I wanna learn this so bad yo
Being ftm since 14 and having the most fem voice is so embarrassing lmao
I’ll post updates on how I sound!!
I'm having a really hard time with this. I can't seem to do it without just going into a guttural vocal fry thing that doesn't sound anything like yours. Any advice?
this may be an odd question, but are there any meme/sh*tpost audio or video you may know of that demonstrates vocal weight? thank you for your time
The tom and jerry scream, your neighbors will love you
I LOVE THESE TYSM.
im pre t and have a super deep voice but it's also super feminine and it's pissing me off
is it bad for it to sound vocal fry like??
i’m always afraid that if there’s any vocal fry it’ll sound unnatural but that could just be adding weight?
I still don't think I'm doing it properly, when I try to speak it doesn't work:((
I sound like I’m an actual goblin I can’t 😭 thank you though 🙏🙏🙏
I’m gender questioning and would love to reach a more masculine register. does breathing have a role in vocal weight? It’s a tip I’ve heard from voice actors talking about how babies don’t lose their voice after screaming for a long time. and I find my voice a bit more flexible after lifting weights
nevermind I didn’t finish the video yet lmao
So I'm not sure i quite understand, I do the ahhhh thing but I don't have that more nasally sound to it, I don't quite sound like you do when I play it back in recordings, is this something that comes with practice or is this something that I should have down to start with. I for some reason sound more Russian when i do this
Edit: so I sound less Russian now but I still don't have that same tone that you have to your voice, I still sound feminine. I naturally have a pretty androgynous voice but I don't know. Its on videos where my voice sounds more like I'm doing a valley girl accent, but with feminine pieces. Not on video it doesn't sound like that.
I tried a lot but I cant understand any of the excercise what they want me to do.
Could anyone make me understand exercise for ftm voice change
I can lower my larynx but I can get the buzzy sound :( I can't tell what I am doing wrong!
Feel free to check out the link to Scinguistics in the Description! We have transmasculine voice workshops every week that you can come to and get help, as well as lots of knowledgeable people to help you troubleshoot.
@@amaroselessons okay, thank you much
it makes me sound like patrick warburton 💀
I'm having trouble applying the information in these videos to my own practice. It's because I'm using different terminology than the video is. My normal voice is fine; I just want distinct voices to read a story aloud in. It has 3 male characters with large speaking roles. Using a recording app, I've settled on good voices for two of them. For one of them, I use the back of my throat a lot. For the other, I feel it more in the front of my throat. I'm struggling to find a distinct voice for the third. Can you help me translate "back/front of the throat" into terminology that is likely to appear in videos like these so that I can understand the instructions?
Also, how do I change my pitch without simultaneously changing the other vocal qualities? I don't know how to raise my pitch without either moving to the top of my throat or going falsetto. It's like I can slide along a gradient from young female voice to older male voice, but nothing else. Help!
ua-cam.com/video/ofKVWqDmaR4/v-deo.html
I'm doing the pitch slides and I'm not going anywhere near as low as you are. Is that bad? I have no trouble with the buzziness, it's just the pitch.
Every time I do these I start laughing at the lower pitch, which actually helps??
Does this have any relation to vocal fry? or am i thinking about this wrong
i hear you're supposed to avoid vocal fry as much as you can, and tbh it makes sense that you shouldnt do it
I choked into a huge cough while trying
I'm doin something wrong, every time i do the vocal slides, i always accidently lower my larynx instead. halp
How long can I do these exercises?
