I'm an experienced narrator. I've narrated 25 audiobooks so far, most of which have been non-fiction books of Technology, self-help, health, finance, business, AI and Travel. I have done one Fiction Western. This book had a couple of female characters and I simply did a falcetto voice for those characters. The author was okay with it.

I'm just wondering what you male narrators do when you have to voice act a female character. Do you do a falcetto voice or do you have some trick to make your voice sound feminine?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi kids,
I'm an experienced audiobook narrator, with 25 books to my credit. Most of my work has been in Travel, Self-Help, Technology, Health, Business and Finance. I did narrate one Fiction Western book that had a few female characters. For those I basically did sort of a falcetto voice of different pitches and the author was fine with it.

I've been asked to narrate several Sci-Fi novels that have female characters and the author said he's fine with the falcetto thing, but I'm not. I want to do something less phoney sounding. So my question is, to other men who narrate, what do you do?

Interested in hearing your responses. Thanks in advance.
