So here's where I'm at. I've got the Darth vador breathing down and I can lower my larynx but when I speak it doesn't sound natural. It just sounds like I'm a girl talking in a fake deep voice, which isn't what I'm going for.
Hi Eiri, thank you for reaching out! The "Vader breath" and other supplemental activities are a great way to open up your resonating areas and create a larger space for your voice to live. Giving it that deeper sound. Think of the "Vader breath" as a dial on an audio mixing board. The two extremes are 0= No Vader and 10= Aaalll the Vader. And there are so many numbers in between! When you began this practice you were most likely on the lower end of the scale (0-3) not hearing much deepness? Now it sounds that you have mastered dialing your resonance all the way to 10 and found exactly how deep your tone can go. Now you get to determine exactly how much of that you want in your voice. Practice by reducing it a little bit, little by little. Turning the dial down to a 7, or a 6. Until you have a nice "cave-y" nuance to your voice while sounding more natural. It's all about finding what mix is right for you, and that takes a little extra exploration and time. Hope this helps! More voice masculinization videos to come!
