I found that you can do an extra exercice by "clearing your throat" ( ua-cam.com/video/9_b-p4I9lP8/v-deo.html ) right after exercise #4. I finally found my authentic voice with all those exercises :)
I'm a happily cis man who is never going to actually use any of these lessons personally, but it's pretty cool how you can make your voice sound so naturally feminine. It has a whole science to it. To the trans men and women out there, you have my support!
I'm at a point in my transition where people clock me as a cis woman until I speak, and I've had a really hard time finding a vocal coach that my insurance will accept. I'm proud to be a trans woman but I'd also like to be able to pass as a cis woman in situations where I don't feel safe. I also just want to sound more feminine as part of my transition goals aside from passing and all of that. So thank you for this, it's really helpful!
Seems like you have many mental issues and don't really know words meanings (e.g. proudness), however wish you'll be happy without need to do that to yourself
Honestly from what I understand about music and tone production. If you can find an open minded pro or semi pro saxophonist, since they are basically doing the same thing with their throat in order to produce very high pitches. It sounds very similar to how the produce note extending above the natural range, too similar. I'm not going to say this would work guaranteed, but I'm just observing some consistencies based on one thing that I am already rather well practiced at.
When I first tried these exercises I was legitimately startled. To provide some background I have a condition which makes faces harder to recognize so I usually tell people apart by their voice among other things. To be honest it was a similar feeling to looking in the mirror your first time dressing fem and realizing you don't recognize yourself but in a good way. This is the most interesting experience I've had in months.
is it true that hormones affect the way your poo smells ? and of it's true, give us details. how does it smell ? is it a fruity smell ? or a more robust and nutty smell? make a video and describe the smell to us, and if possible the poo consistency as well(you can check your poo consistency by poking at it with a pencil, it's what i do)
villephant - Don’t worry about it. Once you’ve figured out how to sound feminine, just pick someone whose accent you’d like to have (maybe a from UA-cam video or a podcast) and try to mimic them. In that way you can “re-learn” an Aussie accent, or learn whatever accent you want
@villephant Despite growing up in Australia, I could never do a "traditional Aussie" accent, until I was talking to a voice coach who taught me how for fun: Just talk with your jaw shut, opening your lips not your teeth. From there you can tone back how much you're opening/closing your mouth to vary the strength of the accent. So, even if you learn a feminised american accent, you can just re-aussie it again afterwards :)

Cis woman here, this got recommended to me, and as a lifelong singer, I learned more about my vocal instrument here than in any class. Amazing work! You sound great and this is really comprehensive and succinct.
Nonbinary here (male anatomy, so deeper voice). I don't really care about sounding female in my daily life, but as a musician and amateur vocalist who especially loves singing high-pitched parts, myself, this video seems really helpful! I've done some practice to expand my vocal range (and control) and experimented with changing my throat pitch to try and match female singers, but I never really knew what the R1 was called or how it worked. I'm thinking that understanding voice feminization will help me sing more female parts...
So as someone who’s finally come to terms with being trans female this helps a lot more than other people just doing like a weird falsetto type thing and calling it a “girl voice”. Hoping to put this lesson to good use in the future

@@TransVoiceLessons Science and logic based videos is the best. Thank you so much!! There's a person who is a game changer in every aspect, like AthleanX when it comes to education on exercising, and I think you must be the game changer for voice feminization (or voice masculinization if you wanted to) with all of this free education. You're changing hundreds of thousands of people's lives! I'm not trans or anything but I want to voice act and sing in a girl voice, and talking in a girl voice allows me to be myself like you can't act soft/girly if you speak in a manly voice cause of society.
Very useful for D&D character voices considering I'm a cis male. Thanks! I'll make sure to practice this! A brilliant technique and I must say, you have an incredible voice! 😁
As a professional vocal coach my self I find this extremely fascinating! Great work training your own voice and explaining the exercises so clearly. Truly masterful voice control and meticulous pedagogy 💜
I like your profile. I love Hideri. She’s definitely my favorite character in Blend S. I mean she’s technically he. But I mean we can all tell he’s a she. In the anime they don’t do a good job of describing it. (Not trying to assume but). Ok sorry I should just stop, stop yeah stop.
Not out to my group yet but I have a female character as a backup. I want to get to the point that by the time I play her, I can break out the fem voice for the first time in front of them.
Ah, the pharynx and the larynx. I'm a cis guy, trying to learn how to do harsh Metal vocals correctly (so, not hurting my throat). I also find the whole anatomy, that's going on within human vocal tracts when singing, speaking, screaming really fascinating. This video was very, very interesting. In addition I can use this to give my female NPCs in my DnD campaign more of a female voice. I mean, yes, I can talk in a higher-pitched voice but it will just sound like a dude talking in a higher-pitched voice. I never thought about what makes a voice sound male or female (for example, on many Metal albums, you can clearly hear, when a woman does screaming vocals vs. when a man does screaming vocals...it just sounds different). Really, beautiful video for everyone, that does anything with their voice. Be it as a hobby or a job.
"When I was exposed to testosterone" 🤯 Dang, the skills are goals, the knowledge is goals, the eloquence is goals, the emotional aura is goals, the look is goals 🙆♀️ your energy is on point, girl! Also, thank you so much ( > w
As someone who is non-binary and struggles with a lot of vocal dysphoria, this has already helped me tremendously. This is the only time I've watched anything like this and I've already noticed a bit if improvement. As someone who also voice acts I've already learned a few of these techniques. But learning these new ones has helped so much already. Thank you so much ^-^
Cis male here. I clicked on your video out of curiosity and watched to the end. Fascinating and informative! Your lecture was very professional and well organized. I’m sure your students benefit greatly. Best wishes! 😀
I did the exercise poorly because my throath hurts a little bit. But at one point I just found a woman's voice that sounded perfect for me, it felt natural and it made me feel really good. I was just like "wow that felt super like me" it felt really good. Thank you for these clearly profesional voice lessons, you are amazing.
As a phonetics nerd, I absolutely love this! I used my knowledge of phonetics to better hide my accent and never thought of how trans folk can use it. That's really awesome! I'll definitely share this with my trans and nb friends. And probably with all my DnD friends who play female characters!
I‘m literally crying, this helped me understand all the other videos I watched much better and I feel like I already improved a little! Thank you so much!
I am a cisgender neurodivergent woman with a naturally deep, monotone voice that really holds me back socially. This video was SO helpful for me and I already feel more well-received by customers at work! Thank you so much!
At first, your videos were a little hard to understand when I start to learn trans-voice, but after 6 months of practicing, they are the most informative ones.
Thank you! I'm so glad you feel that way. I'm constantly working towards simplifying my material for beginners. I'm aware that my older videos were less approachable. Back then I was really focusing on theoretically documenting transvoice. Now that it's documented I can focus on making more "how-to" style videos! Thank you!
@@TransVoiceLessons It is me who should say thank you, so THANK YOU! There were times I hit the walls when I practiced trans-voice, I felt so confused and did not know what could I do to further improve my voice, and my friends told me that I had done well enough but I still felt somehow weird in my voice. EVERY TIME I searched for how to do, it took me back to your videos which really helped me solve those puzzles and overcome those bottlenecks. Your videos are amazing, you are amazing. Thank you!!!
Wow. I'm not into transitioning nor anything like that, just curious, but this video appeared in my recommendations and i got amazed by it. What you do is super amazing and interesting, and it is incredible how good you make your femenine voice sounds, congratulations!!
Im straight and not a singer but i find this topic really interesting. Its a really well laid out subject and its specifics.. I really like what your doing here and i support that. Much love and respect.
I'm a cisgender but I always wanted to learn how to do this and have been going at it for 10 months but "how to do girl voice troll" isnt enough haha thanks I love you
OMG thank you so much. I've been working on my voice for over a year, tracking my progress with a pitch analyser, and I've found it really hard to break out of the "male zone". Within just a few minutes of trying the resonance test, I tried the pitch analyser again and it showed my average as being in the Androgynous area. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos to help my voice further.
You are so good at explaining! This was incredibly well laid out and presented. Seriously girl, you have a real talent for teaching and for you to use it on something so deeply important to so many people is one of the most beautiful human moments I've ever experienced. From every fiber of my being, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
This is a fascinating learning experience. The graphs at 2:28 seem to indicate this is a kind of frequency modulation such as used in Yamaha's FM synthesis: the voice pitch is the carrier, the vocal tract is the modulator. Amazing.
Cis man here, who's training to become a voice actor - while I don't think I'll ever try to explicitly do a feminine voice, this is actually still very interesting for how to do differently pitched voices. Thanks for the informative content!
Thank you so much! As a trans woman it’s so nice to see people like you helping us out. Testosterone be damned, I’m gonna conquer this hill and finally be me 🥰
That was incredibly scientific and informational! The voice is the one thing I struggle with but as a music producer this made a lot of sense and is helping me smooth out the final frontier of making me feel more like who I am in my soul thank you so much!
Hey to anyone struggling with this video (I am slightly cause I’m a bit acoustic). Another extremely helpful example is to imagine any instrument your familiar with, I play an electric guitar, imagining switching strings with my voice was a golden god damn ticket. I really think it’s more about what your brain can most easily and quickly relate to.
I just recently found & subscribed to your channel, and as both a transwoman and acoustics & music nerd this is amazing content! Thank you so much for putting it out and getting in depth into the acoustics part of it, as it helps me in my transition and interests me as a scholar!
@@noseriouslyimserious4073 Which father? Cause I think she has two.. or he or maybe they..? Why the fanta is there things named pronouns? Everyone should start speaking Turkish any of she/he/it is just O in Turkish, idk why a word is just a letter but just one pronoun to everything makes Turkish LGBTQ+ people lot more passive about politic correctness.
Holy! Where were you when I started!!! This is going to take my voice the rest of the way, Omg thank you!!! I'm bigender and so the ability you clearly demonstrate of being able to so effectively turn that knob is very Very VERY appealing. Like... I'm probably about 80% of the way there, but I have trouble with volume. You're explanation about resonant pitch is the "Loud Spot" makes perfect sense and I'm kicking myself for not knowing this sooner! That must be exactly why I have a hard time with volume!!
I think it's super cool to see something I've been doing for years explained. I use this to shift my voice to be more easily heard, and I never knew you could do so much with it.
Not sure why this popped up. But as someone who’s working as an audio engineer with some acoustical engineering, this is a very interesting and informative video! You took a complicated topic and explained it so it would be accessible to anyone, which isn’t easy!
I'm a cis dude (maybe enby? Idk) and never before in my life have I enjoyed listening to a recording of my own voice, this is just incredible, thank you.
I really wanna thank you for this. With these exercises I managed to get my voice from 161hz to now 198- 213hz in a few weeks. I practiced a lot. It’s like a new life - thank you! ❤️
Your lessons are incredibly helpful, I've looked at quite a few videos but your tips are the ones that finally let me figure out how the process really works. You are seriously a lifesaver, thank you so much!
I feel so lost and hopeless.... Just found you and it's so overwhelming how much work I have ahead of me. I was "gifted" what people call a radio voice which I hate and I can't make a high pitch sound if there was a gun against my head. Thank you so so much for putting these out here for all of us to try and learn from. Imma do my best to make use of them. ❤
@@BasedChad1 its more harmful to not let trans people just be themselves, thats why you get such high suicide rates. Go back to incest camp you ignorant little bitch
Thank you for all of this. My vocal range is so heavily low i cant seem to get my r1 right. But in time i think it could click. I cant stress enough how empowering the knowledge you provide is.
I don't know why YT put this in my feed. I never looked up something like this or a need to adjust my voice or sound female. But, the science, explanation and showing examples of how our vocal cords work is fascinating. I've never felt my throat before when talking or making sounds. And to feel it move as I adjust my pitch is strange and cool. I learned something and it maybe useful to me, but also more important, helpful to many people. Thanks for making this video. (And others) PS: the great clear voice.
When I watched this, I thought, she's just teaching basic intonation and vocal exercise that all voice actors and singers learn. I thought that until she started going into the science of how vocal cords behave. Not many coaches or teachers will go this into depth. Thanks for sharing this.
This was so useful, as I often do covers with multiple parts, including female voices. And then I found your videos, and wow, I couldn't be more grateful. P.S. I love your female voice, it's way more feminine than the average, and that's because of the huge study behind it. A hug from Italy :)
I've been questioning my gender for some time. I don't know if I'm cis or not, but either way I like being more feminine so will make sure to be practising. tysm
I am cis but I follow kat blaque and contrapoints so it figures I would get recommended this. this is amazing. I had no idea humans could do that with their voices haha
Though I already "knew" those muscles, this video has really helped me make a clear distinction between the pitch and R1 as you call it. Now comes the training!
You are so incredibly well practiced and well studied. These videos are also excellently structured and practically curated. Your work here is a godsend. Thank you for your time.
Wow! This really does something with my voice :) My throat hurts a lil bit after that...but i guess thats normal? Thanks for all the effort you put in these videos! This one seems to help me the best, but i'll check out all your videos! Keep up the good work! And be safe! ♥
At first it can be normally to experience a tiny bit of fatigue, but as I said in the video: anything significantly uncomfortable or anything that feels unsustainable is wrong. A good indication to know if we are doing the right thing is if there is very little tension. Everything will "glide" into place and fit like a puzzle being finished. :) Go slow and comfy!
@@TransVoiceLessons Thank you for the advice! Will try to keep that in mind and to be very careful. Also i have to watch some more of your videos...it looks and sounds so easy when you speak. Btw, you've a beautiful voice :)
this is just cardio. not trans but for voice acting/singing. i tried watching a bunch of videos but the is the one the makes the most sense in depth enough but still practical enough to actually try things.
I never actually thought I would understand how resonance works until I stumbled across this. You taught me in about 15 minutes what teachers couldn't teach me in two semesters
This reminds me of a classic singing technique for male singers which involves the conscious lowering of the larynx. This has the reverse effect as it expands the throat and gives it a deeper pitch, more resonance and lets it sound more masculine. So, basically the same in reverse. I am not trans but I record audio books and short stories. And some people were really surprised by my voices for female characters and how authentically feminine some of them sounded. Now I know why 😂 Basically, I already used a basic form of this because I already used shifting my larynx for a lot of my characters. For example, dwarves in fantasy always had a very low larynx voice while elves were very close to my natural or even slightly feminized voice with a slightly higher and more narrow larynx. Now, I can work with this in a more conscious manner. Thanks for that.
This video has been insurmountably helpful, thank you so much! Without any of these videos, I would have continued feeling so awful and insecure about my voice. I'm a trans woman that passes with looks, but not with voice. Now, however, you have made it possible for me to pass in all aspects. My dysphoria is going away inch by inch after watching and learning from your videos, and for that, I can't express how grateful and thankful I am for your videos!

This is why I love your channel. You don't just say "oh I did that thing and somehow it worked kinda" but you explain how the voice is formed and then say what you can do about it.
That's how everything should be, it is so much more helpful.
>,< im a sound worshipper. It's great to have a community that is interested in the beautiful intersections of voice, sound, music, science, technology, and body alteration!! thanks for being here.
TransVoiceLessons Not that comparisons are needed, but your comment reminded me of youtube mathemusician ViHart's work. You are so unique though and I love how naturally you express yourself from one field to the next! "Sound worshipper"... I think I'll use that 🤣
@@TransVoiceLessons Science and logic based videos is the best. Thank you so much!! There's a person who is a game changer in every aspect, like AthleanX when it comes to education on exercising, and I think you must be the game changer for voice feminization (or voice masculinization if you wanted to) with all of this free education. You're changing hundreds of thousands of people's lives!
I'm not trans or anything but I want to voice act and sing in a girl voice, and talking in a girl voice allows me to be myself like you can't act soft/girly if you speak in a manly voice cause of society.
I'm not even trans but this was so interesting!
The throat pitch part blew my mind. So much great info, very technical and in-depth.
Very useful for D&D character voices considering I'm a cis male. Thanks! I'll make sure to practice this!
A brilliant technique and I must say, you have an incredible voice! 😁
As a professional vocal coach my self I find this extremely fascinating! Great work training your own voice and explaining the exercises so clearly. Truly masterful voice control and meticulous pedagogy 💜
Thank you so much! :)
As a trans woman I’m so happy, my voice was okay but now I feel like I’m a step forward! 💕💕
I like your profile. I love Hideri. She’s definitely my favorite character in Blend S.
I mean she’s technically he. But I mean we can all tell he’s a she. In the anime they don’t do a good job of describing it. (Not trying to assume but). Ok sorry I should just stop, stop yeah stop.
Blend S
@@joecool1588 yea the fact that she wanted to go the women’s bathroom it’s an sneaky way to do it haha
How long did it take you?
Do you look like your pfp?
I dont understand what shes trying to teach but I appreciate how much fun shes having doing it.
My dnd sessions are about to be wild.
Not out to my group yet but I have a female character as a backup. I want to get to the point that by the time I play her, I can break out the fem voice for the first time in front of them.
Ah, the pharynx and the larynx. I'm a cis guy, trying to learn how to do harsh Metal vocals correctly (so, not hurting my throat). I also find the whole anatomy, that's going on within human vocal tracts when singing, speaking, screaming really fascinating. This video was very, very interesting. In addition I can use this to give my female NPCs in my DnD campaign more of a female voice. I mean, yes, I can talk in a higher-pitched voice but it will just sound like a dude talking in a higher-pitched voice.
I never thought about what makes a voice sound male or female (for example, on many Metal albums, you can clearly hear, when a woman does screaming vocals vs. when a man does screaming vocals...it just sounds different). Really, beautiful video for everyone, that does anything with their voice. Be it as a hobby or a job.
Ah yes, the goode ole black metal rainbow queer coalition.

As someone who is non-binary and struggles with a lot of vocal dysphoria, this has already helped me tremendously. This is the only time I've watched anything like this and I've already noticed a bit if improvement. As someone who also voice acts I've already learned a few of these techniques. But learning these new ones has helped so much already. Thank you so much ^-^
I'm trying to learn for the same reason!
not even trans, I'm just here to up my voice acting game
I’m just here Cos I want to trick the boys later
I'm literally here because I've been monotone my whole life and want to change it somehow.
here to get my way more often
@@NothinbutRye I'm here for that reason and for voice acting too!

Cis male here. I clicked on your video out of curiosity and watched to the end. Fascinating and informative! Your lecture was very professional and well organized. I’m sure your students benefit greatly. Best wishes! 😀
I did the exercise poorly because my throath hurts a little bit. But at one point I just found a woman's voice that sounded perfect for me, it felt natural and it made me feel really good. I was just like "wow that felt super like me" it felt really good. Thank you for these clearly profesional voice lessons, you are amazing.
As a phonetics nerd, I absolutely love this!
I used my knowledge of phonetics to better hide my accent and never thought of how trans folk can use it. That's really awesome!
I'll definitely share this with my trans and nb friends. And probably with all my DnD friends who play female characters!
Yep, lol! Applies to singing too!
I‘m literally crying, this helped me understand all the other videos I watched much better and I feel like I already improved a little! Thank you so much!
Danny I’m blessed to hear that!
Omg I tried it and I sounded freakishly different. I scared myself lol. I'm so impressed.
YO YOU DONT NEED TO ASSAULT ME WITH THIS BANGER ASS INTRO DAAAAMNNNN
I am a cisgender neurodivergent woman with a naturally deep, monotone voice that really holds me back socially. This video was SO helpful for me and I already feel more well-received by customers at work! Thank you so much!
At first, your videos were a little hard to understand when I start to learn trans-voice, but after 6 months of practicing, they are the most informative ones.
Thank you! I'm so glad you feel that way. I'm constantly working towards simplifying my material for beginners. I'm aware that my older videos were less approachable. Back then I was really focusing on theoretically documenting transvoice. Now that it's documented I can focus on making more "how-to" style videos! Thank you!
@@TransVoiceLessons It is me who should say thank you, so THANK YOU! There were times I hit the walls when I practiced trans-voice, I felt so confused and did not know what could I do to further improve my voice, and my friends told me that I had done well enough but I still felt somehow weird in my voice. EVERY TIME I searched for how to do, it took me back to your videos which really helped me solve those puzzles and overcome those bottlenecks.
Your videos are amazing, you are amazing.
Thank you!!!
Oh yea, theyre so good! Even if you dont do all the excercises you can get pretty far.
Wow. I'm not into transitioning nor anything like that, just curious, but this video appeared in my recommendations and i got amazed by it. What you do is super amazing and interesting, and it is incredible how good you make your femenine voice sounds, congratulations!!

As a musician, singer and trans person this one of the best channels I've discovered on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing this amazing things!
Im straight and not a singer but i find this topic really interesting. Its a really well laid out subject and its specifics.. I really like what your doing here and i support that. Much love and respect.
sexual orientation has nothing to do with gender identity, *"cis gender"* is the word you were looking for.
I love how the creator doesn't delete the transphobic comments, just let them get angry at nothing it's entertaining.
so true
I'm a cisgender but I always wanted to learn how to do this and have been going at it for 10 months but "how to do girl voice troll" isnt enough haha thanks I love you
cisgender isn't a noun either
OMG thank you so much. I've been working on my voice for over a year, tracking my progress with a pitch analyser, and I've found it really hard to break out of the "male zone". Within just a few minutes of trying the resonance test, I tried the pitch analyser again and it showed my average as being in the Androgynous area. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos to help my voice further.
U beautiful
You are so good at explaining! This was incredibly well laid out and presented. Seriously girl, you have a real talent for teaching and for you to use it on something so deeply important to so many people is one of the most beautiful human moments I've ever experienced. From every fiber of my being, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
So thankful I get to help you! Thanks for being here!!
She has a nice voice but I didn't understand a word of these exercices.
This is a fascinating learning experience. The graphs at 2:28 seem to indicate this is a kind of frequency modulation such as used in Yamaha's FM synthesis: the voice pitch is the carrier, the vocal tract is the modulator. Amazing.
I have no idea why I'm watching this at 3 in the morning, but I'm really happy for y'all.
I have house mates, and doing these sounds alone in my room probably sounds really weird, and it's pretty embarrassing
I was doing the exercise and suddenly I can hear my voice changing. It felt to good to hear myself with that voice. Thanks for the videos Z.
I really happy for you. I will need to try it
Cis man here, who's training to become a voice actor - while I don't think I'll ever try to explicitly do a feminine voice, this is actually still very interesting for how to do differently pitched voices. Thanks for the informative content!
Cis woman here. Im nearing 30 and have self-isolated for many years of my life. I have never liked my voice and this helps a lot. Thank you!
Thank you so much! As a trans woman it’s so nice to see people like you helping us out. Testosterone be damned, I’m gonna conquer this hill and finally be me 🥰

I fell down the pit of pessimism again and I feel like hell thinking about voice recently.
:< i hope this can alleviate some of that.
Not trans, but I'm glad that there are people like you who do this type of thing.
It just happen to be quarantine, no school, perfect time to practice this
That was incredibly scientific and informational! The voice is the one thing I struggle with but as a music producer this made a lot of sense and is helping me smooth out the final frontier of making me feel more like who I am in my soul thank you so much!
Hey to anyone struggling with this video (I am slightly cause I’m a bit acoustic). Another extremely helpful example is to imagine any instrument your familiar with, I play an electric guitar, imagining switching strings with my voice was a golden god damn ticket. I really think it’s more about what your brain can most easily and quickly relate to.
I just recently found & subscribed to your channel, and as both a transwoman and acoustics & music nerd this is amazing content! Thank you so much for putting it out and getting in depth into the acoustics part of it, as it helps me in my transition and interests me as a scholar!
Amazing to have you a part of our lil community!
How’s your relationship with your father?

How's your relationship with the barrel of a glock ?
@@noseriouslyimserious4073 Which father? Cause I think she has two.. or he or maybe they..? Why the fanta is there things named pronouns? Everyone should start speaking Turkish any of she/he/it is just O in Turkish, idk why a word is just a letter but just one pronoun to everything makes Turkish LGBTQ+ people lot more passive about politic correctness.
Holy! Where were you when I started!!! This is going to take my voice the rest of the way, Omg thank you!!!
I'm bigender and so the ability you clearly demonstrate of being able to so effectively turn that knob is very Very VERY appealing. Like... I'm probably about 80% of the way there, but I have trouble with volume. You're explanation about resonant pitch is the "Loud Spot" makes perfect sense and I'm kicking myself for not knowing this sooner! That must be exactly why I have a hard time with volume!!
I think it's super cool to see something I've been doing for years explained. I use this to shift my voice to be more easily heard, and I never knew you could do so much with it.
Not sure why this popped up. But as someone who’s working as an audio engineer with some acoustical engineering, this is a very interesting and informative video! You took a complicated topic and explained it so it would be accessible to anyone, which isn’t easy!
Im a straight CIS male and found this video super interesting and educational,Thank you!
this is honestly so damn cool. I'm a cis dude and its so eye opening to see you demonstrate these exercises, thanks for your work!
I'm genderfluid and female, but your videos are still incredibly helpful for working on my "man voice" so thank you!
For the first time I feel like I could have a passable voice, thank you!
I'm a cis dude (maybe enby? Idk) and never before in my life have I enjoyed listening to a recording of my own voice, this is just incredible, thank you.
I really wanna thank you for this. With these exercises I managed to get my voice from 161hz to now 198- 213hz in a few weeks. I practiced a lot. It’s like a new life - thank you! ❤️
Your lessons are incredibly helpful, I've looked at quite a few videos but your tips are the ones that finally let me figure out how the process really works. You are seriously a lifesaver, thank you so much!
I watched this video and within 4 minutes got a perfect female voice 🙏🏼thank you so much🙏🏼
That's wild! Glad to hear it.
I feel so lost and hopeless.... Just found you and it's so overwhelming how much work I have ahead of me. I was "gifted" what people call a radio voice which I hate and I can't make a high pitch sound if there was a gun against my head.
Thank you so so much for putting these out here for all of us to try and learn from. Imma do my best to make use of them. ❤
Thank you for this. I'm going to share this with my trans daughter who wants to feminize her voice.
thats super wholesome
@@BasedChad1 its more harmful to not let trans people just be themselves, thats why you get such high suicide rates. Go back to incest camp you ignorant little bitch
As an audio engineer and a trans person, this video is the best thing I have ever seen, thank you so much!
Hopefully this means more content during this period of time :3
>:3 i'll do my best
Thank you for all of this. My vocal range is so heavily low i cant seem to get my r1 right. But in time i think it could click. I cant stress enough how empowering the knowledge you provide is.
as a blossoming trans girl with a passing interest in music theory this is one of the best videos i have ever encountered
I don't know why YT put this in my feed. I never looked up something like this or a need to adjust my voice or sound female. But, the science, explanation and showing examples of how our vocal cords work is fascinating. I've never felt my throat before when talking or making sounds. And to feel it move as I adjust my pitch is strange and cool. I learned something and it maybe useful to me, but also more important, helpful to many people.
Thanks for making this video. (And others)
PS: the great clear voice.
When I watched this, I thought, she's just teaching basic intonation and vocal exercise that all voice actors and singers learn. I thought that until she started going into the science of how vocal cords behave. Not many coaches or teachers will go this into depth. Thanks for sharing this.
This was so useful, as I often do covers with multiple parts, including female voices. And then I found your videos, and wow, I couldn't be more grateful.
P.S. I love your female voice, it's way more feminine than the average, and that's because of the huge study behind it. A hug from Italy :)
I've been questioning my gender for some time. I don't know if I'm cis or not, but either way I like being more feminine so will make sure to be practising. tysm
I am cis but I follow kat blaque and contrapoints so it figures I would get recommended this. this is amazing. I had no idea humans could do that with their voices haha
Though I already "knew" those muscles, this video has really helped me make a clear distinction between the pitch and R1 as you call it. Now comes the training!
You are so incredibly well practiced and well studied. These videos are also excellently structured and practically curated. Your work here is a godsend. Thank you for your time.
Wow! This really does something with my voice :) My throat hurts a lil bit after that...but i guess thats normal?
Thanks for all the effort you put in these videos! This one seems to help me the best, but i'll check out all your videos!
Keep up the good work! And be safe! ♥
You should watch the others!
At first it can be normally to experience a tiny bit of fatigue, but as I said in the video: anything significantly uncomfortable or anything that feels unsustainable is wrong. A good indication to know if we are doing the right thing is if there is very little tension. Everything will "glide" into place and fit like a puzzle being finished. :)
Go slow and comfy!
@@TransVoiceLessons Thank you for the advice! Will try to keep that in mind and to be very careful. Also i have to watch some more of your videos...it looks and sounds so easy when you speak. Btw, you've a beautiful voice :)
@@bgreaud Will do! Whenever i've some spare time. Thank you
I'm a sound engineer, this was actually very well explained haha I clicked because I was curious (not trans) and I enjoyed the video
this is just cardio.
not trans but for voice acting/singing. i tried watching a bunch of videos but the is the one the makes the most sense in depth enough but still practical enough to actually try things.
I don't know how I got here but this is one of the more fascinating corners of YT I've discovered and I'm here for it!
I never actually thought I would understand how resonance works until I stumbled across this. You taught me in about 15 minutes what teachers couldn't teach me in two semesters
I'm a woman, but I have a really deep voice and I'm curious what it would sound like a bit higher/more feminine. Great videos, super interesting!
I'm a cis woman and omg she sounds more passing than me! Such a sweet voice. This is amazing.
Aww thank you. 🥺 welcome to our lil community!
This reminds me of a classic singing technique for male singers which involves the conscious lowering of the larynx. This has the reverse effect as it expands the throat and gives it a deeper pitch, more resonance and lets it sound more masculine. So, basically the same in reverse.
I am not trans but I record audio books and short stories. And some people were really surprised by my voices for female characters and how authentically feminine some of them sounded. Now I know why 😂
Basically, I already used a basic form of this because I already used shifting my larynx for a lot of my characters. For example, dwarves in fantasy always had a very low larynx voice while elves were very close to my natural or even slightly feminized voice with a slightly higher and more narrow larynx. Now, I can work with this in a more conscious manner. Thanks for that.
This one video landed me **FOUR AUDIOBOOK CONTRACTS IN 24 HOURS** after months of no-offers. This works, and it's MAGIC.
❤❤❤❤
This video has been insurmountably helpful, thank you so much! Without any of these videos, I would have continued feeling so awful and insecure about my voice. I'm a trans woman that passes with looks, but not with voice. Now, however, you have made it possible for me to pass in all aspects. My dysphoria is going away inch by inch after watching and learning from your videos, and for that, I can't express how grateful and thankful I am for your videos!
