I can make all the sounds, but maintaining a feminine tone is still pretty hit-or-miss. Since I spend all day at work talking to my team online, I figured it would be good to use that time for voice practice. (I’m already out, so hopefully they won’t think I’m going insane)
I’ve been slowly pushing the pitch up over the past few weeks to avoid straining, and with a pitch tracker going it looks like I’m sitting at around 150 Hz right now (for reference I usually aim for 200 Hz when training, which I can comfortably manage for short periods). Not quite target pitch, but at least I’m not dropping out of the androgynous range too often. End-of-day huskiness is slowly getting better but my resonance is all over the place.
Anyway, how do you all get your practice hours in? Any fun anecdotes? I’m still in awe of all the trans women on Youtube with perfectly passable voices.
I tried and no matter how hard I try my voice doesn’t pass as fem. Some people say it does trying to be nice but when I showed samples to some voice training communities without telling them my gender, just asking if it sounds masc or fem they confirmed my suspicions, voice training apps also confirm my voice is still well within the masc range. It’s tiring to keep trying and if my voice doesn’t pass unless people are being nice I don’t see the point, still makes me feel bad though 😭
