r/transvoice

I've been training for a while and wanted to check. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

im a couple months on testosterone, but i kept at voice training anyway - though i fear it still reads as female

I feel like i might be trying to hard to be high pitched? If that makes sense (something about seeing the Voice Tools app makes my be brain like: "ok guess we're doing high pitch now).

Also i feel like i fall apart towards the end, where i'm basically gasping for air. So any advice on how to prevent that would be appreciated.

Also English is not my first language and I think how I pronounce Refraction with the emphasis on it is pretty funny :p

I did voice training years ago with a professional but never sticked through with it until the end. She basically was like yup your voice is good to go and now all that you have to do is start using it IRL on a daily basis, and i basically never went and did that. Yep i feel stupid now >.<

And despite the pitch I feel like I'm quite clocky is this true?

also, any feedback on voice appreciated

i couldn't explain how to actually reach it, but when imagining speaking from the front of my mouth, my voice has like a 95% success rate of sounding ideal

hiii! im 18 and bit and ive finished male puberty so #ugh

I've just started trying to understand voice training this past month. this is a recording of me trying to lower my resonance. is it working? any advice? my goal is to get rid of the trans man accent generally, do I have it here?

i've been doing the small dog/big dog exercise and trying to be aware of my tongue posture(?) in my mouth.

my pitch is very natural at around 95 without trying and my resonance means for this recording are F1-364, F2-1595 and F3-2605 and I am focusing very hard on it

sorry for the blank video file, idk how to make anythign that looks nicer

I don’t know what I’m missing but sound masculine

Hey there all you beautiful people, your friendly neighborhood voice coach here with yet another quick voice guide about the concept of Vocal Fullness. Hope it helps, leave any questions you may have in the comments and I'll do my best to provide assistance!

I had thyroid cartilage and vocal fold reduction surgery. I still have some swelling so I’ll write a post about it once I’ve recovered.

I paid 240,000 THB for the surgery. The doctor initially recommended CTA because he said my vocal folds were already short but when I told him that I wanted thyroid cartilage and vocal fold reduction he agreed to perform that surgery.

On the first day I had some difficulty breathing and at one point I couldn’t breathe properly while sleeping. A nurse stayed with me around the clock for three days and she helped by turning my head to the left which relieved the problem.

Some unusual things I experienced were delirium after waking up from anesthesia, facial swelling after surgery and a lot of phlegm and coughing.

I still had difficulty breathing on the second day. I don’t think the doctor was lying when he said that my vocal folds were already short. His recommendation that I get CTA instead because this surgery could be risky didn’t feel like he was just trying to push me into getting CTA.

My pitch was actually lower immediately after surgery at around 100 Hz compared with about 130 Hz before surgery. I’m now two months post-op and it has recovered to around 180 Hz although I still have some swelling.

I had difficulty breathing for roughly a week after surgery. I didn’t measure the exact duration though so it may have been closer to two weeks.

Overall I don’t think the surgery itself was that bad but that’s still very subjective. Since I’m still recovering I don’t think I can give a clear assessment of the final result yet.

At the university hospital I was told that there was still swelling but that my vocal folds were making normal contact during phonation. They said that as the swelling goes down my pitch should naturally become higher.

The university hospital also told me that my oral cavity is relatively narrow and that my nasal passages are narrower than those of most people. I wondered whether this might somehow be consistent with what the surgeon said about my vocal folds being short although these things may not actually be related.

One thing I regret is that I don’t have any endoscopic images of my vocal folds from before the surgery so it’s difficult to make a direct comparison with how they look now.

For context this is my most relaxed fem voice because I find it stressful to try and squeeze my throat to raise my pitch or increase my resonance.

This is mostly just breath support and arching my tongue up. I started hrt at 16 so I never developed a manly voice per se but I still feel a lot of vocal dysphoria because I sound so different from my female peers. I'm trying to have a more laid back mid-range fem voice like sophie rain.

I just started actual voice training and I’m currently working on training my larynx. Tho I see a difference between how high it goes while swallowing and how high it goes when I try to do a high pitched hiss and then holding it there.

I just wanted to ask how high should the Adams apple be when training? Like as high as when swallowing or lower?

i also probably want to go for a more deeper voice later on, but i heard its good to focus on passing before you experiment with the voice

hi hi, I’ve been training my voice for a few years now, definitely the happiest I’ve been w my voice ever but I kind of don’t know what to do from here!! i pass in real life (when they can see me) but i want to try get my voice perfect and get rid of what feels like lingering androgyny? really looking for critique honest feedback and suggestions since my pals only ever hype me up (which falls on my deaf ears 😤)
