    I never knew transgender voice training was thing but it makes so much sense that it does. I really feel bad for trans women, because with trans men, they’re voice changes naturally, but for trans women, that just doesn’t happen.

      It has exactly one benefit - with practice you can actually switch between masculine and feminine voice at will. I know of a trans opera singer who can do literally every type of voice, from baritone and bass to soprano.

    I've been watching a number of your videos for a few days now; something about them resonates with me. Even tried following along, tried understanding and mimicking. It's incredibly difficult.
    I just wanted to say that I could feel the hurt when you brought-up those difficult nine months.
    And for that, my heart goes out to you, and everyone else learning to find their voice.
    You all deserve love, happiness, and comfort -- not only from others, but also for yourselves.

    Criticizing yourself is one of the greatest invisible pitfalls you can lead yourself into.
    Recently, I was talking to my friend's roommate for the first time, and I was just chatting along and then I bring up dysphoria and talk about that.
    The roommate looks very confused as I keep talking, and then I am asked "Wait... are you trans?" That was when it hit me that my voice does not sound weird or "male" to others, and that I was simply being harsh on myself. I was then told that they had no clue I was trans in any way.
    tldr; Please do not be so hard on yourself

    • @TransVoiceLessons

      That's it, precisely! I've worked with hundreds of voices and the strongest commonality between them is the expectation the voice doesn't pass even when it does. It can be crippling and destroy peoples progress.
      Glad you got to have that moment. Remember that experience whenever you start to get paranoid.

      Many people don't, the million times people at work asked me "So, when's your voice going to change?" :P and I had to explain that it does not happen in transwomen, with women asking this I usually had to ask them to think back to their puberty and if their voice suddenly increased in frequency a lot like in the way it drops in boys.
      Many times women had absolutely no clue, which to me made it clear just how much more obvious I was aware of boy puberty and all of the effects that were going to happen (I didn't know I was transgender at the time, I just felt weird and didn't know it had a name).
      (I personally have been very open about my transition at work or basically anywhere, so before someone wants to say "wow people are rude", next to getting that idea that they are, Dutch people tend to be direct and it will depend on the question and the place in a conversation in which they ask it if I answer, which most of the times is yes, but sometimes isn't).
      The only time I really had my mind go "Holy shit you off all people should definitely know this!!" when asked the exact same question was when general practictioners at the ER asked me that, 3 doctors (1 male one on one occasion and 2 female ones on a different occasion).
      In general though, I'm ok with explaining this to people, so don't worry I'm Someone, most people have no clue, you are definitely not the only one.
      For me, the fact it doesn't happen is usually what makes me really jealous of transfemales who were able to have boy puberty halted....

And then I had a few experiences with transphobic people who clocked me on my voice and I've really wanted to start working on how I sound. I just really needed to hear what you said about your voice not determining your validity.

    Cis opera singer here, just discovering this whole area of vocal technique. This stuff is fascinating, and so much of this overlaps with my own training, but in an "opposite" way. We are always trying for more resonance, more space, but everyone learning opera makes the same mistakes of freezing their vocal space and choking themselves off, or of trying to do hyper function work, and it is just as much of a problem.
    Long story short, this is awesome, and "in my singer capacity" I really appreciate how all your advice is totally compatible with good technique.

    i know this is at least 4 years old now, but i just have to say, i really (like seriously) needed to hear someone tell me to take it easy on myself with voice progress. And it especially helps to know both where you started from (very similar to my starting point) and that you also struggled with harsh self criticism, although i'm sorry you did.
    because of my past and my mental illnesses, i have such a bad habit of just tearing myself down at the smallest thing, and when it's something as important and potentially triggering (of dysphoria and other things) as voice training, it can get pretty bad.
    but yeah, i just wanted to say thank you so much. the whole section on not tearing yourself down immediately really resonates (pun intended) with me

    It is tragic you don't get more veiws. Your stuff is amazing and as a audio dork I love how you explain the different effects of voice.
    The point about super harsh criticism is so important. Its really hard to have a pleasant sounding voice when anxious. Much like every hobby I do when I first started vocal training I was too obessive and strained everything. In a way it felt appropriate, voice issues are a constant nag on trans people so damaging it feels like you are punishing it. But you can't run faster on a broken foot and you can't speak clearer on sore throat.
    It would be interesting to see you cover vocal strain and breathing habits.

      Thank you! While I may not have as many views as some other TH-camr's, I'm being supported by an absolutely incredible community of trans, gnc, and vocal nerds. My private education practice is very successful so I get to do all of this completely full time. Pleasant voices while sounding anxious are always going to be a bit weirder. But that's true if your cisfemale or trans.
      I would like to make a video covering strain since I haven't talked much about it. As far as the breath goes, that's pretty low on my to-do list but I'm sure I'll get to it eventually.

I am totally in that paralyzed phase and have probably been pretty hard on myself and discouraged. I still get misgendered a lot and the few people who explain why they have a hard time getting it right often refer to my voice! Thank you for reminding me that my identity is still valid regardless of how I sound. But you can see why the desire to change my voice is strong, but I think I need to just go easier on myself and just grind away at practicing...

    So I’m a cis male, and I clicked on this video for a couple different reasons, 1 it’s always good to learn new things and learn about the experiences of others, but the main reason I clicked is because my voice changed on its own to being higher than it used to be, this doesn’t bother me, although I’ve received rude comments about my voice being higher and softer, on the other hand I’ve had many compliments on my singing, where as used to my voice was so deep people said I sounded like a monster when I sung along to anything other than choral music. The first time my voice got higher was after I had a tumor removed on my parathyroid at 15, then it got higher again after I had an allergic reaction to GABApenten at 19. But I smoked for 7 years and that’s kind of reversed it a little bit but not much. I’ve been trying to quit this year, and when I do quit my voice raises back in pitch after a couple months, of course when I fail it goes back to my new normal after about a month of smoking. Anyway I was looking for answers as to why that happened and I think I’ve got it figured out, it’s because of al the scar tissue and irritation in my larynx changing the resonance.

      Woah you didn't happen to have a Gabapenten type that had a particular coloring agent added to it? I had the Neurontin version of the drug that did not contain the coloring agent, and my pharmacy switched them up because Gabapenten was considered cheaper, and I had a rash all over from the coloring agent (which, surprisingly, is listed as one estimated to cause problems in about 65% of the population....go figure...)

    There is sooo much explained in this video. Clears up many misconceptions. I really like what you're saying in #6 & 7. For me that's where trying out new voice in real life comes in, but not just talking, but also listening to how I sound and how that approximates the sound of people I'm talking with. Irl is where I get a variety of voice examples to interact with and try to copy, what you're referring to as mimic. It's also shows me my limitations and what I'm not getting. So then I gotta go back and experiment w that to see if I can do it. Sometimes I can, sometimes not. Ok I'm rambling. Great video! Thanks💕

    THANK YOU, especially for the rigorous audio technique approach. As someone who's been obsessed with sound from an early age this approach is so useful. Also, thank you for not making me feel dumb for wanting a better explanation of resonance than "you should just get it, head voice, chest voice, blah blah". There's a structure. It moves, changing the shape and size of a resonant chamber. Your previous videos are helping me so much and I feel like I'm making so much progress. I never ever dared dream liking my voice enough to try voice acting and now I dare dream of it thanks to you (and the wonderful folks at r/transvoice). It feels within reach. Thank you so much

    Thank you so much! I've had so much trepidation trying to begin training my voice, but the way you broke things down scientifically in this video totally made it easy for me to feel like I'm ready to jump in. I've been out for ten years, but I've always felt apprehensive until your video. Between your talk of vocal folds and the overview of how resonance affects your voice, you won me over. Thank you for everything you do.

    What a wonderful video, I am so happy to see a trans woman take her experience and map it to the technical aspects of voice. I am taking vocal therapy with an expert who has little experience with trans women, but we touched on the different areas you laid out so well. I hope you are able to help women in our community because voice is a very important trait that we are evaluated on.

I never even thought about trying to transform my voice: I always thought it would be too hard, that my natural voice is low af, etc. But your point about mimicry really spoke to me, so I just tried it by mimicking you. And holy cats, I proved myself wrong. So excuse me while I subscribe and binge your entire channel :p

    In archery, we have something similar where someone "collapses" before release. They pull to a certain point, then move forward a bit before releasing, which causes a dirty shot and ultimately a miss! This is fascinating! So many parallels!

Having fun with it even with mistakes, kind of brings emotion to it, relaxes everything, and helps dissipate some of the self criticism. I am less monotone when I do this, and, hey, practice is nicer. Good voice is as much psychological as it is physical in my experience. Thank you sooooo much!
