also, any feedback on voice appreciated

I am looking for any tips on how this could be more feminine without being girly, I guess Ill leave a reference for a voice I like though I dont think my voice sounds at all like hers.

I like how her voice is a bit darker and not super high, but doesnt sound masculine at all.

Been voice training for 2 months and honestly am somewhat happy with what I've been able to achieve, but my end goal is to have a voice that is ALWAYS feminine regardless of if I just woke up, if I'm sick, if I'm coughing, sneezing. I would love to have a voice that has nothing male sounding about it, but isn't particularly girly either. Should I plan to get VFS and be looking into scheduling something/getting on a wait list? I love the idea of having nothing male about my voice regardless of effort or anything, does this require surgery?

tldr if my goal is to have an always effortless female sounding voice, should I plan to get vfs?

The SLP I worked with for the past 5 weeks hasn't really been of any help, only talks about pitch and cant answer questions about anything else. Is it worth it to try to find another who takes insurance or should I just stop doing sessions and continue on my own?

Using my voice in quiet environments I'm more confident, but cant gauge how I'm doing in louder ones when I need to project. This is me on busy street, it feels like maybe I'm more constricted with my mouth/throat? Not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong or how To describe what sounds off about it to me.

Trying to figure out what kind of voice I want as opposed to just getting a feminine voice now, and I think what I want is something deeper/lower but I'm not sure if I'm doing it at all. I figure I probably need to be leaning more into the fem resonance and weight if I'm doing a lower pitch, but not sure how much or if this is close at all.

My normal voice gets me read as a man even after ffs and years on hrt, wondering if this would read as feminine

I cant tell at all what my own voice sounds like. I don't know how to judge the recordings and figure out whats working/not, any advice on this? I have no sense of if this passes or not. Voice tools pitch analysis doesn't tell me much, do y'all use anything else?

At it for 2 weeks, not really sure how it's going. SLP is having me start w pitch mostly and I've been doing so while playing around with resonance. Obv this is just a start, but I would like to get a sense of what it seems like I'm doing right and wrong? First take is with more effort and second is trying to be a bit more relaxed. thx
