Posted a cover of Headaches by Raveena Aurora years ago while voice training to sing! Had people telling me to mourn my voice and ability to sing, NO. It took lots of effort but now I wish they could all hear me sing :)
Hey everyone again!
Some of you might remember my post from last year (https://www.reddit.com/r/transvoice/comments/1oimme0/were_building_transvoice_a_new_app_for_trans/). I'm Lea, a trans woman from Germany, and together with a small, mostly trans team we've been building transvoice.app, an app to make voice training more accessible, structured and affordable.
It took a few months longer than planned, but we're finally live! You can now use TransVoice on iOS, Android and in your browser.
Everything's linked on transvoice.app.
What's in right now:
We're currently building the structured course and plan to release the first modules in July.
Everything is free for now. If you want to support the project, there's a one-time Supporter purchase in the app. No subscription, no ads, ever.
This community, r/germantrans and our beta testers shaped the app a lot, we even found our developer and designer through trans subreddits ❤️. Honest feedback helps us a lot, so if you have any ideas let me know! I read everything.
Note: TransVoice is a self-guided training tool. It doesn't replace working with a licensed speech therapist.
I rely on some youtube tutorials for voice training and there are always a few comments along the lines of "im not trans but this works and im gonna use this voice to troll others!!". Heck, even some of the people making voice training resources are cis guys who did it just for fun.
Meanwhile for us who literally needs the voice to survive train for months just to get a barely passing voice. Is voice training a talent/genetics thing? How do you make it more effortless?
Hi, so i have been doing voice training for some time and feel.i have come pretty far. I am stuck on one element and cant identify what it really is. Whatever i do, my voice keeps sounding masculine, with some kind of buzziness, the best i can compare it to is a metal string vs a non metal string on a guitar or piano. I can give some samples, but mostly i just want to know how do i identify the problem, are there any apps? I know a coach is propably the best, but i dont have that much money and time, so i just wanted to ask here.
Thanks anybody for replies!
So I have officially hatched and I was watching some videos on how to pull a convincing girl voice. As AMAB, I have a relatively deep voice so some of the steps that these videos are showing me like pitch and weight control has been hard. I don't talk a lot anyways and I am relatively monotone so I don't fluctuate my voice very often so it makes sense that it would be difficult.
I've been wanting to know though how does someone like me even achieve a convincing girl voice? Will doing the voice become easier or accessible once I get my vocal cords to be used to doing higher pitches or lighter weights. Or is this something I will completely be unable to do convincingly
Edit: Also what are the steps I should be taking to achieve a realistic girl voice if that's possible
i want to know how to voice train i know that you do pitch but not to much of it and this other thing called re something and then you just make noises and talk with it until you get it is there anything else i should know?
I am scared I’ll be stuck like this, I don’t mind being a pretty boy when I want to but I want to be the woman who’s always been me trapped underneath this skin.
It took me so long because I was afraid of my people disowning me, then it was drug addiction for years, now that I’ve been sober for 4 years, I’m ready. I have always been scared I wouldn’t be pretty, I said screw it, because honestly it’s going to kill me not to, even if I don’t transition good, but I kinda hope I’ll be pretty, that I’ll feel good about it.
My voice is 100 percent woman on command and beautiful, I go to the gym and do targeting fem work outs, I eat healthy and have an amazing skin care routine, I’m doing all the foot work.
Mother God please bless me with your beauty and grace, I will not squander your gift, I will not be an ugly woman inside, but be the light and love you’ve put into my heart over the years. I will be a good woman either way but being touched by your hand giving the gift of beauty and the movement of grace would make me so very thankful. I love you and I trust you and it’s in you mother I pray Amen
I just had VFSRAC with Dr. Mendelsohn a week ago and just tried to test my voice, and it sounds exactly the same as pre-op. Is this a normal result for only being 1 week post-op? Kinda worried I wasted my money.
I do not understand how to voice train. Like at all. Every time I look up youtube tutorials they already using terms I don't understand. Every paid direct service is like $160 a session at least and I can't afford that. And my voice literally can't possibly pass because it is the deepest most monotone monstrosity the world has ever known. Not to mention loud. Idk how to do ANYTHING. I have gotten so unbelievably desperate I have turned to reddit. Please help me
Yeson requires 2 months of strict vocal rest while other doctors who perform Wendler require only 2 weeks.
What's the reason for this?
Hello, it's been a few months since I last posted, I didnt get as much progress as I'd hoped by I see some, if anyone can tell me how to make it sound passing now that would be greate thank you <3
Does anyone have any recomindations for private voice coaching? I am based in Greater Manchester I seen prices that vary online and would like something afforable but that would work. I am a trans woman.
i think it really bothers me and i dont want it to ruin my face . do i need to have work done ? is it really bad ?
Hi im 18 mtf. Im booked in for VFSRAC in my home country for 1 month away. Its very affordable and obviously the wait is quite short. But I wonder am I making the wrong choice and is Femlar in the US actually going to potentially provide me with a much superior outcome instead? Just wanted some thoughts on this maybe. I know vfs isn't reccomended for singing but I would like to afterwards to atleast a casual degree, just incase that changes opinions. Thanks!
Looking to establish a pitch floor. Every study I can find only reports average speaking fundamental frequency or lowest pitch used in singing. The clinical guide by Adler et al. (2019) mentions that says the average person uses a range of 12 ± 2 semitones in conversation, but we can’t assume from that that the pitch floor is just going to be the F0 minus 5~7 semitones.
40 mtf, hrt 1 year, voice training on and off for a couple of years and working with a voice coach for a few months now.
I can't hear myself without thinking I sound terrible, flat, monotone, fake.... any thoughts on what I can improve?
thank you!
Decently low avg of 135 hz but it might sound kind of forced
Would you consider this a "passing male voice" and how could I improve
I just had Direct Rigid Laryngoscopy done yesterday, and was sent home with the before and after pictures of the procedures.
Upon waking up I will still loopy but noticed on the images there was a huge blood spot on the vocal folds which I did ask the surgery if that was “okay” looking and they said it was fine.
Now that I am more alert I am noticing that in the after image I believe I see the intubation tube from the top of the vocal folds which makes me believe that the surgery only closed the middle.
