    A lot of people have requested this video lately, especially after my 2 year Pre T transformation video which is now at almost 200k views. That's absolutely insane, and I'm so grateful for all the love and support I've gotten from you guys on it, whether you are an old or a new subscriber❤️
    Hope this video is helpful! It's just based on what I've done, I'm not a trained speech therapist or anything. Remember to take brakes from practising your voice if it becomes straining and starts to hurt to talk regularly as well. Start the process slowly, then practise more and more every day. Don't want any of you to ruin your vocal chords💕
    Take care and stay safe💗

      ALSO, be PATIENT
      I know being trans is basically all about being patient with long ass waiting lists and waiting for T/E progress etc, but this process is also important to have patience during, cuz you're not gonna get good voice results right away

  • @Goofypoof
    @Goofypoof 4 роки тому +52

    whenever i train my voice to talk through my chest it sounds hella forced. do you think it changes to become more and more natural so that at the end you can talk normally and it just sounds deep? like without focusing or thinking about it? while i train i constantly do that so obviously it would sound forced. t can also help with that since your voice is gonna drop pitch wise but i notice that some guys end up with a more unnatural male voice.. that sounds a tad bit androgynous, idk how to describe it. might have to do something with it though and i just think it sucks for us. im also afraid lol.
    btw, almost two weeks on T brothers!

    • @LeonBell
      @LeonBell  4 роки тому +28

      It totally becomes more natural after a while. But make sure you don't go for talking from your chest right away when training it.
      You gotta start in your throat. The first few months of voice training, I couldn't speak from my chest at all, so I just tried to go lower in my throat, and eventually it got easier and became more natural to go lower. If it sounds unnatural, you might be putting too much stress on your vocal chords. Don't know for sure, but that was the case for me. I just had to be patient and let it happen gradually and eventually by itself. Now it hurts to speak from the upper part of my throat.
      Congrats💕

Cause ive wanted to for so long, to just say that i am trans, and i wanna change my voice and such, but i cant find the right words as its easier for me to express myself in english.

      T does take a while to deepen the voice, there are certain practices to help get your voice deeper but most of the time how you speak and also the how you voice is built physically can effect it
      Testosterone can help tremendously however, it is just important to know it's not a fix all thing despite that
