Heya, I’m a voice actor in training and I do feminine voices. Although I use these videos to train and improve, I’m definitely going to be sharing these with my trans friends because they’re so wonderful and comprehensive! Thank you!

I learned Spanish in my 20s, and through closer consciousness of the voice, I was able to change my voice for Spanish so easily, but I do understand how difficult voice training is! Congrats!

Lala Velez oh, i didnt know testosterone could impact health badly. Thanks for the response. I hope you are living at peace with your gender expression and body image.
Hi, I'm also a detrans woman, and my voice got deeper from testosterone too. I don't remember what it used to sound like before though (it's been 8 years since I last heard it, and I've no recordings of it). I quite like my deep voice though, it's clear and strong. So I wouldn't call mine damaged, just deeper. But it makes people read me as male, which is inconvenient for me socially. That's why I started voice training.
This video was much less overwhelming on the second watch. One thing that has kept me from actually doing real meaningful voice work was how daunting it is, along with how dysphoric it makes me. Any trans women who see this: it's not as overwhelming as it seems

It's so fascinating to see how much music theory transfers over to this - as a woodwind player, I'm glad I can use those concepts here! I'm just beginning my voice transition, and I was absolutely taken aback by how little pitch actually matters. Thank you so much for making these videos and helping us achieve such a beautiful voice like you have!
I'm a total music theory nerd who's trying to transition, and this video is so unbelievably perfect for me, as I have a lot of background with music theory, tuning theory, etc. Thanks so much!
Awesome!! It's so great to have you here. There are lots of music nerds lurking around our lil community. Here is a musical/tuning description of voice feminization: Male or female we all start with the same harmonic series sound mass. Depending on the mass, symmetry, or turbulence of the vocal folds they will lay out the volume profile of the source. Heavier mass vocal folds produce a flatter spectral profile so the highest harmonics are more equal in volume to the lower harmonics (essentially compression of the amplitude for each harmonic). Less vocal fold mass produces a gentler rolled off harmonic series where the 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8 have the most energy and then it quick rolls off quieter. Female vocal tracts are then smaller so they concentrate the energy on the upper mid harmonics. In a way a male voice is a low fundamental with lots of lows and lots of highs. While the female voice is a higher fundamental with mostly mids. So feminize a masculine voice we have to learn to reduce the glottal mass in order to soften the harmonic series so it buzzes less, then we shrink the space to raise our resonances to higher harmonics relative to the masculine one. That's basically it. :) Also different vowels are just different just intonation structures. The structure 1:5:7 is useful in feminization. Fascinatingly, in darker operatic vowels their pitch vs resonance is often tuned to 1:3:4, 1:2:4, etc. Very simple root, octave, fifth, octave kind of structures which is why they are so warm and smooth to blend! Lovely!
@@TransVoiceLessons Wow, thanks for that thought out response! I'll have to do some more research on intonation structures as it applies to this, that sounds super fascinating.

This is WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm seven months into HRT and my voice is a huge source of dysphoria. Having information like this available gives me hope for changing that. Definitely checking out your other videos. Thanks again!~♡
This really made it click finally! I've looked at various online lessons and tutorials, including some of yours, before, but I'd never come across this, and the way you explain the basic goal, around minimising space, has finally tied all of it together. I think not quite understanding the basic theory was stopping me - similarly to how I struggle to learn languages through something like Duolingo because it doesn't teach you the core grammatical rules of a language - so this has given me exactly what I need to make a proper start!

Yay. You see i have a really deep clear male voice. I also wanna do voice acting for both male and female characters. So this is really helpful for me to understand. Thanks for making this video.
I happened to start learning more about throat singing a few months before finding this video, and it's making me geek out really hard because it uses very similar concepts. Different styles focus more on either overtones or undertones, but either way, it's largely about altering the shape of your mouth/face-often moving through and between different vowel sounds-to isolate and bring forward different frequencies of overtones while holding a steady source tone. If you listen for them enough, your ears start picking them up all the time, just like you mentioned for the AC unit :) edit: it's super present towards the end of the video when you start working through the different vowel sounds ^-^
I love to get to see the science behind this because I can't learn anything without knowing why/how it works. This is a really great video, very fascinating! I'm here because I had to go through transition changes that I didn't actually want but went for because I was young, was set to prove myself and institutions and law weren't open to the truth of non-binary people.
That is soooo amazing! Please continue making these videos, these are things that you seemingly can find nowhere on the internet and gives me a lot of faith for my transition.
... I feel so stupid every is like: Oh yeah I totally get it it makes so much sense, and I'm just here sitting through the entire video like: What the what now...
Wow, this is the first time I’ve felt like vocal advice has been helpful. Most resources I’ve found just say move your voice up, and I was like “a-what now?” But what you explain here especially with the breakdown of the internal structure of the voice system really made sense and helped me at least figure out how to stop resonating in my chest. I’m no expert on what I’m doing, but with the help of this video, I was able to make an almost passing voice without straining the muscles in my throat. I mean it takes a lot of focus now, but that I can get used to at least

This was surprisingly informative, even as someone who has a decent understanding of acoustics. The eq curve comparisons kinda blew my mind and I could find some inspiration in that for writing music and synth pathches. Awesome video, advanced knowledge but explained in a way that's totally easy to take in.
This video makes it finally seem like this magic could be within my grasp after having struggled with other videos that say "just close your pharyngeal wall"

BTW, I hope you don't mind if I say so, but I'm sure I speak for everyone who has subscribed to your channel when I tell you that you are AWESOME!!! Period.
Hi there! Think of gender in voice as space. Voice feminization is space reduction. Voice masculinization is space addition. All the sound principles I talk about on my channel apply to you as well, just in the opposite direction. Hopefully I'll upload some voice masculinization videos soon! I work with both cis men and trans men on voice masculinization! Thanks for your comment.
Your technique is incredible. As an audio engineer it makes tremendous sense too, I've not done a ton of research into how our voices work but conceptually it's easy to understand... just hard to implement without direction. Probably going to get in touch.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! I'm so glad the video was able to provide you with clarity. I would love to work with you! I have a bit of a waiting list right now but I'm sure there is room for you! As an audio engineer, think of it this way: The voice is essentially a saw wave, with an EQ on it. Our EQ has 4 primary filter peaks. The movement between the bottom 2 peaks create what we call "vowels". How cool!

Hi there! You got it mostly right, but I wouldn't say in the nasal cavity! In my research and observation, I have noted that extraneous airflow into the nasal cavity actually sounds more masculine for most transfeminine speakers. This is because the nose is like a secondary "mini" vocal tract that can't be manipulated as freely as the oral/pharyngeal cavity. The velum controls the "on" or "off"-ness of the nose. Velum should be closed for all sounds except /m/, /n/, and /ng/
What are you doing with your research? A degree, I hope. For me, being a musician and composer, it's absolutely fascinating. Especially since I play trombone and am always working with the harmonic series. Plus I've always been interested in phonetics. Your demonstration of how vowels use different combinations of the harmonic series is awesome! The mouth is like a synthesizer. So cool. Your work is so good, I'd love to see it made into a full length documentary.
@@amyashlyn9293 That's awesome, I always love bumping into other musicians in the space! Precisely! The voice is basically a source sound and variable output filter. It's the ultimate biomechanical acoustic instrument! As for the education, I actually have a degree in Music Theory and Music Composition. I don't have any plans to go back to university in the near future but ultimately I'd like to get my phd in music composition. The results of my research will be documented in my upcoming book: The Art of Voice Feminization. I plan to explore all types of voice alteration. Feminization is just the first and most necessary for me. I would like to and do plan to publish my results and try to adapt the information for research journals. Your support really means a lot. Thanks for your thoughtful message.
6:31 R1=V/4L R1= Tube Length L= Tube Length V= Speed of Sound (--343,000mm/sec) Essentially, the shorter the vocal tract, the higher the pitch, and therefore a more female voice (Saving this for when I have voice surgery maybe someday)

So I watched some of your later videos where you start off with pitch and weight and say resonance is real complicated for later, and I thought - damn, I bet resonance is the worst because these make no sense. Having seen this one, uhh... so I'm a data scientist. Explaining it as a "reduction of geometric space" is probably the simplest and most easily comprehensible thing. Suddenly the entire affair seems way, way feasible because now I actually understand the what and why. You're a hero for making these.

Firstly you're adorable but, the video only made me more confused. You can talk about pitch, tone resonance, harmony and hertz all day I still have no clue how to apply it.
I think the main take away from this lesson is that the size of the vocal tract influences the sound. Reducing that size changes to a higher pitch. A lot of less technically minded vocal coaches will tell you go speak from the upper part of your tract to reduce the depth of the sound, and that’s a simpler way of saying that one should reduce the size of the vocal tract to get a higher pitch. At least that’s what I got from it. Practice finding those higher pitches so it sounds natural. I should also mention that she has another more recent video aimed at people who want to work on their voices whereas this video is aimed at professionals who train people; not the lay person working on their own voices as much. Hope that helps.

i am a musician with a decently intimate knowledge of the harmonic series and it's so cool to find out that that might actually help me on my journey.
thank you so much for making these videos.

wow, this is super informative but not at all overwhelming,
This really means a lot. It's absolutely my goal for every lesson, video, and piece of content I make. Can't wait to share my next one!

This is WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm seven months into HRT and my voice is a huge source of dysphoria. Having information like this available gives me hope for changing that. Definitely checking out your other videos. Thanks again!~♡
I'm not trans but I got this on recommended and I got interested. Ngl this was super cool to watch
This really made it click finally! I've looked at various online lessons and tutorials, including some of yours, before, but I'd never come across this, and the way you explain the basic goal, around minimising space, has finally tied all of it together. I think not quite understanding the basic theory was stopping me - similarly to how I struggle to learn languages through something like Duolingo because it doesn't teach you the core grammatical rules of a language - so this has given me exactly what I need to make a proper start!
I just came here to sound cute, I did not expect to learn so much about the physics of sound
Holy shit this was fascinating. I learned more here than I did in some of my speech therapy classes.

Yay. You see i have a really deep clear male voice. I also wanna do voice acting for both male and female characters. So this is really helpful for me to understand. Thanks for making this video.
I happened to start learning more about throat singing a few months before finding this video, and it's making me geek out really hard because it uses very similar concepts. Different styles focus more on either overtones or undertones, but either way, it's largely about altering the shape of your mouth/face-often moving through and between different vowel sounds-to isolate and bring forward different frequencies of overtones while holding a steady source tone. If you listen for them enough, your ears start picking them up all the time, just like you mentioned for the AC unit :)
edit: it's super present towards the end of the video when you start working through the different vowel sounds ^-^
I love to get to see the science behind this because I can't learn anything without knowing why/how it works. This is a really great video, very fascinating! I'm here because I had to go through transition changes that I didn't actually want but went for because I was young, was set to prove myself and institutions and law weren't open to the truth of non-binary people.
That is soooo amazing! Please continue making these videos, these are things that you seemingly can find nowhere on the internet and gives me a lot of faith for my transition.
... I feel so stupid every is like: Oh yeah I totally get it it makes so much sense, and I'm just here sitting through the entire video like: What the what now...
Wow, this is the first time I’ve felt like vocal advice has been helpful. Most resources I’ve found just say move your voice up, and I was like “a-what now?” But what you explain here especially with the breakdown of the internal structure of the voice system really made sense and helped me at least figure out how to stop resonating in my chest. I’m no expert on what I’m doing, but with the help of this video, I was able to make an almost passing voice without straining the muscles in my throat. I mean it takes a lot of focus now, but that I can get used to at least

*me looking up voice training* IM SURROUNDED BY THE CUTEST TEACHERS ANYONE COULD ASK FOR
wow, I don't know much about physics, but this looks like a great class, super dydactic, lol, the examples! you even showed us your vocal cords, I've never before seen those in action!
I think this is the best resource regarding the topic that I've seen. Really, not only content wise, the formal aspects are fun and pretty.
Congrats!
(non related: seeing those instruments made me want to see you playing them, lol)
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It truly means a lot to me that you were able to glean information from this! I'm planning to edit all of the other videos in a similar fashion where it's good information, sound, and visuals all together. This took a lot of work but I think the next one will come out faster since I'm so excited!
Also if you'd like to see me playing instruments or hear my music you can go to my other TH-cam channel: th-cam.com/channels/--VosYH0BHISbb4SFO9rQA.html
@@TransVoiceLessons yay thanks for the channel share! It's also awesome that you replied to me
Thank you for your work in making this..... as an engineer and physicist I appreciate all of the material and graphical representations you gave! And it accelerated my transition of voice 10x ^^

Not only did you teach me how a male and female voice works, you also helped me understand a talkbox

This was surprisingly informative, even as someone who has a decent understanding of acoustics. The eq curve comparisons kinda blew my mind and I could find some inspiration in that for writing music and synth pathches. Awesome video, advanced knowledge but explained in a way that's totally easy to take in.
This video makes it finally seem like this magic could be within my grasp after having struggled with other videos that say "just close your pharyngeal wall"
Just found your channel, thank you so much, this has to be the most detailed I've seen
I haven't seen this much acoustics in one place since the last physics class I took two years ago, this was a really well thought out explanation! Thank you so much!
You haven't been to a guitar store in a while
You're the bomb. I'm not trans but have been trying to master a girl voice for acting. You flipping smart. Thank you.
ty!!
never would’ve thought this would be the video that pushed me to finally learn about the harmonic series properly, but i’m glad it was ^^

The way you explain is awesome!! I would love to see a video about growling! What you do helps people with learning to sing! Thank you so much for the knowledge!!!
Dont usually leave comments on videos and im not sure if you still check the comments on this video but i want to tell you how happy i felt when i came across this and how much hope and motivation i felt just by seeing/hearing you in the beginning. Saw other comments say this but u genuinely are transition goals !!! :)
This video came out the same week I came out to my friends and family haha Looking forward to this series 😊

I'm not trans, but I have always wanted to be able to do different voices for the fun of it. This video was an eye opener and you can bet all of your money that I will be back for more of your videos and advice. BTW, I hope you don't mind if I say so, but I'm sure I speak for everyone who has subscribed to your channel when I tell you that you are AWESOME!!! Period.
I keep getting recommendations for more feminine voices but I'm looking to have a more masculine voice ;w; Besides that, this is a great video!
Hi there! Think of gender in voice as space. Voice feminization is space reduction. Voice masculinization is space addition. All the sound principles I talk about on my channel apply to you as well, just in the opposite direction.
Hopefully I'll upload some voice masculinization videos soon! I work with both cis men and trans men on voice masculinization!
Thanks for your comment.
Ells Aesthetic - it’s called testosterone
A Aries Testosterone isn't easy to get for everyone. Pre-t, a passing voice can make or break how people read you.
Just look up voice training for trans men
I did the exact opposite to find this
Your technique is incredible. As an audio engineer it makes tremendous sense too, I've not done a ton of research into how our voices work but conceptually it's easy to understand... just hard to implement without direction. Probably going to get in touch.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! I'm so glad the video was able to provide you with clarity. I would love to work with you! I have a bit of a waiting list right now but I'm sure there is room for you!
As an audio engineer, think of it this way: The voice is essentially a saw wave, with an EQ on it. Our EQ has 4 primary filter peaks. The movement between the bottom 2 peaks create what we call "vowels". How cool!

Love this video also one day I want to be a femboy so I know your Female voice training videos will help me pull off the femboy role
Honestly just listening to your voice is so nice. It's beautiful
I was looking around youtube for videos on this subject and 18 seconds into this video i am sold
This is the most detailed video on this topic I have found. I love all the detail and work you put into this for us. Your voice sounds super cute and incredible and your big brain energy makes me want to become an audio engineer now

my voice therapist went into labor so this has been super helpful for staying on track ESPECIALLY with adhd in the mix lol
I'm trying to learn a bit about doing different voices, and this video was absolutely delightful to watch. Seeing the visuals on-screen for how the frequencies changed and focused with different tones and mouth/lip motions was incredible, it's so so helpful.

Absolutely awesome! So it's all about the reduction of space and moving that resonance up and forward and into to nasal cavity. Love this💕
Hi there! You got it mostly right, but I wouldn't say in the nasal cavity! In my research and observation, I have noted that extraneous airflow into the nasal cavity actually sounds more masculine for most transfeminine speakers. This is because the nose is like a secondary "mini" vocal tract that can't be manipulated as freely as the oral/pharyngeal cavity. The velum controls the "on" or "off"-ness of the nose. Velum should be closed for all sounds except /m/, /n/, and /ng/
@@TransVoiceLessons thank you for that clarification. I'm actually having fun working on this.
What are you doing with your research? A degree, I hope. For me, being a musician and composer, it's absolutely fascinating. Especially since I play trombone and am always working with the harmonic series. Plus I've always been interested in phonetics. Your demonstration of how vowels use different combinations of the harmonic series is awesome! The mouth is like a synthesizer. So cool. Your work is so good, I'd love to see it made into a full length documentary.
@@amyashlyn9293 That's awesome, I always love bumping into other musicians in the space! Precisely! The voice is basically a source sound and variable output filter. It's the ultimate biomechanical acoustic instrument!
As for the education, I actually have a degree in Music Theory and Music Composition. I don't have any plans to go back to university in the near future but ultimately I'd like to get my phd in music composition.
The results of my research will be documented in my upcoming book: The Art of Voice Feminization. I plan to explore all types of voice alteration. Feminization is just the first and most necessary for me.
I would like to and do plan to publish my results and try to adapt the information for research journals.
Your support really means a lot. Thanks for your thoughtful message.
Why can't I stop watching this?:) interesting stuff. Never saw a video about voices on TH-cam.
zero clue as to why this showed up in my recommendation list. i enjoyed it, good stuff.
Wow! I'll be checking out the other videos right away!

R1=V/4L
R1= Tube Length
L= Tube Length
V= Speed of Sound (--343,000mm/sec)
Essentially, the shorter the vocal tract, the higher the pitch, and therefore a more female voice

I'm practicing this in able to improve as a voice actor
As someone with a bit of electrical engineering backgorund i was suprised by the amount of science. Pretty interesting.
You're so pretty, combined with that amazing voice control you've got it's just so inspiring. Wonderful video c:
So I watched some of your later videos where you start off with pitch and weight and say resonance is real complicated for later, and I thought - damn, I bet resonance is the worst because these make no sense.
Having seen this one, uhh... so I'm a data scientist. Explaining it as a "reduction of geometric space" is probably the simplest and most easily comprehensible thing. Suddenly the entire affair seems way, way feasible because now I actually understand the what and why.
You're a hero for making these.
I've never found better explanation anywhere else, You're absolutely amazing Amelia, thank you a lot
I wish you all best 💓

You will do amazing! I'm thankful to help.
This is so amazing and thank you so much for sharing this !!
This video is pretty damn amazing! Great work!
I recommended this channel and shared this video with my trans girlfriend who’s dysphoric about her voice. You’re doing fantastic work ❤️
The science is really helpful. I hope I can integrate the ideas into my evolving transvoice.
Firstly you're adorable but, the video only made me more confused. You can talk about pitch, tone resonance, harmony and hertz all day I still have no clue how to apply it.
I think the main take away from this lesson is that the size of the vocal tract influences the sound. Reducing that size changes to a higher pitch. A lot of less technically minded vocal coaches will tell you go speak from the upper part of your tract to reduce the depth of the sound, and that’s a simpler way of saying that one should reduce the size of the vocal tract to get a higher pitch. At least that’s what I got from it. Practice finding those higher pitches so it sounds natural.
I should also mention that she has another more recent video aimed at people who want to work on their voices whereas this video is aimed at professionals who train people; not the lay person working on their own voices as much. Hope that helps.
Wow I finally understand the (very?) basics of how it works, this was a great video :')
