I found that you can do an extra exercice by "clearing your throat" ( ruclips.net/video/9_b-p4I9lP8/видео.html ) right after exercise #4. I finally found my authentic voice with all those exercises :)
1 year after the class I still struggle with my voice a lot. But this video started to have new meaning for me. Thank you for making it, posting it, and keeping it publicly available.
@@TransVoiceLessons How long did it take for you? I'm in the same position at a year and a half and I'm struggling. I'm a musician and have sang to every song when I could my whole life. 31 now but a lifetime of music.
I'm a happily cis man who is never going to actually use any of these lessons personally, but it's pretty cool how you can make your voice sound so naturally feminine. It has a whole science to it. To the trans men and women out there, you have my support!
I'm at a point in my transition where people clock me as a cis woman until I speak, and I've had a really hard time finding a vocal coach that my insurance will accept. I'm proud to be a trans woman but I'd also like to be able to pass as a cis woman in situations where I don't feel safe. I also just want to sound more feminine as part of my transition goals aside from passing and all of that. So thank you for this, it's really helpful!
Seems like you have many mental issues and don't really know words meanings (e.g. proudness), however wish you'll be happy without need to do that to yourself
Honestly from what I understand about music and tone production. If you can find an open minded pro or semi pro saxophonist, since they are basically doing the same thing with their throat in order to produce very high pitches. It sounds very similar to how the produce note extending above the natural range, too similar. I'm not going to say this would work guaranteed, but I'm just observing some consistencies based on one thing that I am already rather well practiced at.
villephant - Don’t worry about it. Once you’ve figured out how to sound feminine, just pick someone whose accent you’d like to have (maybe a from RUclips video or a podcast) and try to mimic them. In that way you can “re-learn” an Aussie accent, or learn whatever accent you want
@villephant Despite growing up in Australia, I could never do a "traditional Aussie" accent, until I was talking to a voice coach who taught me how for fun: Just talk with your jaw shut, opening your lips not your teeth. From there you can tone back how much you're opening/closing your mouth to vary the strength of the accent. So, even if you learn a feminised american accent, you can just re-aussie it again afterwards :)
Cis woman here, this got recommended to me, and as a lifelong singer, I learned more about my vocal instrument here than in any class. Amazing work! You sound great and this is really comprehensive and succinct.
Nonbinary here (male anatomy, so deeper voice). I don't really care about sounding female in my daily life, but as a musician and amateur vocalist who especially loves singing high-pitched parts, myself, this video seems really helpful! I've done some practice to expand my vocal range (and control) and experimented with changing my throat pitch to try and match female singers, but I never really knew what the R1 was called or how it worked. I'm thinking that understanding voice feminization will help me sing more female parts...
When I first tried these exercises I was legitimately startled. To provide some background I have a condition which makes faces harder to recognize so I usually tell people apart by their voice among other things. To be honest it was a similar feeling to looking in the mirror your first time dressing fem and realizing you don't recognize yourself but in a good way. This is the most interesting experience I've had in months.
As a cis male who is actually interested in having a "manlier" voice, this was suuuuper helpful, it made me understand a lot of things about my voice. You do an amazing work explaining these exercises!
is it true that hormones affect the way your poo smells ? and of it's true, give us details. how does it smell ? is it a fruity smell ? or a more robust and nutty smell? make a video and describe the smell to us, and if possible the poo consistency as well(you can check your poo consistency by poking at it with a pencil, it's what i do)
I never really had faith that I would ever be able to change my voice and this was always the thing I used to justify not transitioning. But in just 5 short minutes of practice from this video, I already have far more hope than I ever had in a smooth transition. Tysm
With the torrents of outside influences trying to silence trans voices, I can only imagine how difficult it must be to speak up at all. But to keep doing so when there's an inner critic also screaming at you to stop talking... it must be absolutely exhausting and demoralising.

Stay loud. Stay proud.
So as someone who’s finally come to terms with being trans female this helps a lot more than other people just doing like a weird falsetto type thing and calling it a “girl voice”. Hoping to put this lesson to good use in the future

I'm not trans or anything but I want to voice act and sing in a girl voice, and talking in a girl voice allows me to be myself like you can't act soft/girly if you speak in a manly voice cause of society.
This is the best video RUclips has ever recommended to me and I'm not even trans. You're an awesome teacher and I think these exercises are great for anyone wishing to develop their voice. As this video is 'intended' for trans listeners I wish for those practising to find the voice that makes them happy. ❤
Yeah, I'm a CIS male and I'm not even a singer. It's just fascinating learning how the human body works. I never knew about this stuff. Very well made video.
@@fourteencrows1244 It's shit you don't understand peasant. Lol Ps: As a lady, i hope i don't have a neckbeard. That wouldn't be too flattering, would it?
I'm not trans, but I am an instrumentalist who never took voice lessons aside from solfege, and this whole series is fascinating from an acoustic level.
As a professional vocal coach my self I find this extremely fascinating! Great work training your own voice and explaining the exercises so clearly. Truly masterful voice control and meticulous pedagogy 💜
Very useful for D&D character voices considering I'm a cis male. Thanks! I'll make sure to practice this! A brilliant technique and I must say, you have an incredible voice! 😁
I just want to voice act or sing in a girl voice although I do enjoy talking in a feminine voice more than a guy voice although it might because then I'd be attracted to my own voice lol
As someone who is non-binary and struggles with a lot of vocal dysphoria, this has already helped me tremendously. This is the only time I've watched anything like this and I've already noticed a bit if improvement. As someone who also voice acts I've already learned a few of these techniques. But learning these new ones has helped so much already. Thank you so much ^-^
Not out to my group yet but I have a female character as a backup. I want to get to the point that by the time I play her, I can break out the fem voice for the first time in front of them.
"When I was exposed to testosterone" 🤯 Dang, the skills are goals, the knowledge is goals, the eloquence is goals, the emotional aura is goals, the look is goals 🙆♀️ your energy is on point, girl! Also, thank you so much ( > w
As a phonetics nerd, I absolutely love this! I used my knowledge of phonetics to better hide my accent and never thought of how trans folk can use it. That's really awesome! I'll definitely share this with my trans and nb friends. And probably with all my DnD friends who play female characters!
I did the exercise poorly because my throath hurts a little bit. But at one point I just found a woman's voice that sounded perfect for me, it felt natural and it made me feel really good. I was just like "wow that felt super like me" it felt really good. Thank you for these clearly profesional voice lessons, you are amazing.
Cis male here. I clicked on your video out of curiosity and watched to the end. Fascinating and informative! Your lecture was very professional and well organized. I’m sure your students benefit greatly. Best wishes! 😀
I‘m literally crying, this helped me understand all the other videos I watched much better and I feel like I already improved a little! Thank you so much!
At first, your videos were a little hard to understand when I start to learn trans-voice, but after 6 months of practicing, they are the most informative ones.
Thank you! I'm so glad you feel that way. I'm constantly working towards simplifying my material for beginners. I'm aware that my older videos were less approachable. Back then I was really focusing on theoretically documenting transvoice. Now that it's documented I can focus on making more "how-to" style videos! Thank you!
@@TransVoiceLessons It is me who should say thank you, so THANK YOU! There were times I hit the walls when I practiced trans-voice, I felt so confused and did not know what could I do to further improve my voice, and my friends told me that I had done well enough but I still felt somehow weird in my voice. EVERY TIME I searched for how to do, it took me back to your videos which really helped me solve those puzzles and overcome those bottlenecks. Your videos are amazing, you are amazing. Thank you!!!
Ah, the pharynx and the larynx. I'm a cis guy, trying to learn how to do harsh Metal vocals correctly (so, not hurting my throat). I also find the whole anatomy, that's going on within human vocal tracts when singing, speaking, screaming really fascinating. This video was very, very interesting. In addition I can use this to give my female NPCs in my DnD campaign more of a female voice. I mean, yes, I can talk in a higher-pitched voice but it will just sound like a dude talking in a higher-pitched voice. I never thought about what makes a voice sound male or female (for example, on many Metal albums, you can clearly hear, when a woman does screaming vocals vs. when a man does screaming vocals...it just sounds different). Really, beautiful video for everyone, that does anything with their voice. Be it as a hobby or a job.
Wow. I'm not into transitioning nor anything like that, just curious, but this video appeared in my recommendations and i got amazed by it. What you do is super amazing and interesting, and it is incredible how good you make your femenine voice sounds, congratulations!!
I like your profile. I love Hideri. She’s definitely my favorite character in Blend S. I mean she’s technically he. But I mean we can all tell he’s a she. In the anime they don’t do a good job of describing it. (Not trying to assume but). Ok sorry I should just stop, stop yeah stop.
I am a cisgender neurodivergent woman with a naturally deep, monotone voice that really holds me back socially. This video was SO helpful for me and I already feel more well-received by customers at work! Thank you so much!
OMG thank you so much. I've been working on my voice for over a year, tracking my progress with a pitch analyser, and I've found it really hard to break out of the "male zone". Within just a few minutes of trying the resonance test, I tried the pitch analyser again and it showed my average as being in the Androgynous area. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos to help my voice further.
You are so good at explaining! This was incredibly well laid out and presented. Seriously girl, you have a real talent for teaching and for you to use it on something so deeply important to so many people is one of the most beautiful human moments I've ever experienced. From every fiber of my being, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Im straight and not a singer but i find this topic really interesting. Its a really well laid out subject and its specifics.. I really like what your doing here and i support that. Much love and respect.
Cis man here, who's training to become a voice actor - while I don't think I'll ever try to explicitly do a feminine voice, this is actually still very interesting for how to do differently pitched voices. Thanks for the informative content!
I'm a cisgender but I always wanted to learn how to do this and have been going at it for 10 months but "how to do girl voice troll" isnt enough haha thanks I love you
Not sure why this popped up. But as someone who’s working as an audio engineer with some acoustical engineering, this is a very interesting and informative video! You took a complicated topic and explained it so it would be accessible to anyone, which isn’t easy!
This is a fascinating learning experience. The graphs at 2:28 seem to indicate this is a kind of frequency modulation such as used in Yamaha's FM synthesis: the voice pitch is the carrier, the vocal tract is the modulator. Amazing.
Thank you so much! As a trans woman it’s so nice to see people like you helping us out. Testosterone be damned, I’m gonna conquer this hill and finally be me 🥰
Hey to anyone struggling with this video (I am slightly cause I’m a bit acoustic). Another extremely helpful example is to imagine any instrument your familiar with, I play an electric guitar, imagining switching strings with my voice was a golden god damn ticket. I really think it’s more about what your brain can most easily and quickly relate to.
That was incredibly scientific and informational! The voice is the one thing I struggle with but as a music producer this made a lot of sense and is helping me smooth out the final frontier of making me feel more like who I am in my soul thank you so much!
I think it's super cool to see something I've been doing for years explained. I use this to shift my voice to be more easily heard, and I never knew you could do so much with it.
Holy! Where were you when I started!!! This is going to take my voice the rest of the way, Omg thank you!!! I'm bigender and so the ability you clearly demonstrate of being able to so effectively turn that knob is very Very VERY appealing. Like... I'm probably about 80% of the way there, but I have trouble with volume. You're explanation about resonant pitch is the "Loud Spot" makes perfect sense and I'm kicking myself for not knowing this sooner! That must be exactly why I have a hard time with volume!!
I'm a cis dude (maybe enby? Idk) and never before in my life have I enjoyed listening to a recording of my own voice, this is just incredible, thank you.
Your lessons are incredibly helpful, I've looked at quite a few videos but your tips are the ones that finally let me figure out how the process really works. You are seriously a lifesaver, thank you so much!
@@BasedChad1 its more harmful to not let trans people just be themselves, thats why you get such high suicide rates. Go back to incest camp you ignorant little bitch
Thank you for all of this. My vocal range is so heavily low i cant seem to get my r1 right. But in time i think it could click. I cant stress enough how empowering the knowledge you provide is.
I really wanna thank you for this. With these exercises I managed to get my voice from 161hz to now 198- 213hz in a few weeks. I practiced a lot. It’s like a new life - thank you! ❤️
I don't know why YT put this in my feed. I never looked up something like this or a need to adjust my voice or sound female. But, the science, explanation and showing examples of how our vocal cords work is fascinating. I've never felt my throat before when talking or making sounds. And to feel it move as I adjust my pitch is strange and cool. I learned something and it maybe useful to me, but also more important, helpful to many people. Thanks for making this video. (And others) PS: the great clear voice.
I feel so lost and hopeless.... Just found you and it's so overwhelming how much work I have ahead of me. I was "gifted" what people call a radio voice which I hate and I can't make a high pitch sound if there was a gun against my head. Thank you so so much for putting these out here for all of us to try and learn from. Imma do my best to make use of them. ❤
I just recently found & subscribed to your channel, and as both a transwoman and acoustics & music nerd this is amazing content! Thank you so much for putting it out and getting in depth into the acoustics part of it, as it helps me in my transition and interests me as a scholar!

I never actually thought I would understand how resonance works until I stumbled across this. You taught me in about 15 minutes what teachers couldn't teach me in two semesters
This was so useful, as I often do covers with multiple parts, including female voices. And then I found your videos, and wow, I couldn't be more grateful. P.S. I love your female voice, it's way more feminine than the average, and that's because of the huge study behind it. A hug from Italy :)
Yo, I'm also a cis brown male and RUclips recommend me this. Maybe a lot of trans Brown women are watching this who would have put male in thier profile for some social or professional reason. The AI must have gotten confused by that. And who doesn't want to switch between male and female voices? It's a cool skill to have.
This video has been insurmountably helpful, thank you so much! Without any of these videos, I would have continued feeling so awful and insecure about my voice. I'm a trans woman that passes with looks, but not with voice. Now, however, you have made it possible for me to pass in all aspects. My dysphoria is going away inch by inch after watching and learning from your videos, and for that, I can't express how grateful and thankful I am for your videos!
I'm not trans, exactly - I am trying to explore my gender as someone who is nonbinary - but this video and others have been so helpful to me! Thank you for explaining in such an easy-to-follow way. I wish only the best for you in the future
Wow! This really does something with my voice :) My throat hurts a lil bit after that...but i guess thats normal? Thanks for all the effort you put in these videos! This one seems to help me the best, but i'll check out all your videos! Keep up the good work! And be safe! ♥
At first it can be normally to experience a tiny bit of fatigue, but as I said in the video: anything significantly uncomfortable or anything that feels unsustainable is wrong. A good indication to know if we are doing the right thing is if there is very little tension. Everything will "glide" into place and fit like a puzzle being finished. :) Go slow and comfy!
@@TransVoiceLessons Thank you for the advice! Will try to keep that in mind and to be very careful. Also i have to watch some more of your videos...it looks and sounds so easy when you speak. Btw, you've a beautiful voice :)
I am cis but I follow kat blaque and contrapoints so it figures I would get recommended this. this is amazing. I had no idea humans could do that with their voices haha
it’s actually kinda fascinating that there’s around a musical octave (and even slightly more) of difference between the masculine and feminine values of Hz. i mean you show values of 650 vs 1200, 450 vs 1350, etc on the screenshots. honestly, for all of my life i didn’t realise that the difference is so significant. i perceived it to be somewhere around 5-6 steps higher instinctively. learn something new every day loool. also, the level of effortlessness you’ve achieved with your voice is super impressive, great job. kinda tells that it’s been done with a deep sense of understanding of everything around the subject. and trans people, good luck to y’all in your journey!
Hi, interesting, you mean harmonics and overtones peaks which make the voice brighter or darker rather than the actual pitch? as if I'm not mistaken the trans voice training focuses more oh make tones brighter and sometimes smoother than higher, staying mostly around D3 to C4 as pitches which can sound both typically masculine or typically feminine depending on the resonance used, though it's true male voices tend to dip more often below C3.
When I watched this, I thought, she's just teaching basic intonation and vocal exercise that all voice actors and singers learn. I thought that until she started going into the science of how vocal cords behave. Not many coaches or teachers will go this into depth. Thanks for sharing this.
this is just cardio. not trans but for voice acting/singing. i tried watching a bunch of videos but the is the one the makes the most sense in depth enough but still practical enough to actually try things.
Awwwww.... perfect lesson. Everything is so clear and the exercises so easy to follow. This is so valuable! I kinda got this, so I'm will share it with gurls who want it. Thank you so much
Though I already "knew" those muscles, this video has really helped me make a clear distinction between the pitch and R1 as you call it. Now comes the training!

I'm not trans or anything but I want to voice act and sing in a girl voice, and talking in a girl voice allows me to be myself like you can't act soft/girly if you speak in a manly voice cause of society.
This is the best video RUclips has ever recommended to me and I'm not even trans. You're an awesome teacher and I think these exercises are great for anyone wishing to develop their voice. As this video is 'intended' for trans listeners I wish for those practising to find the voice that makes them happy. ❤
Wow such a lovely comment! You are welcome here on this channel regardless if you are trans or not.
.
Yeah, I'm a CIS male and I'm not even a singer. It's just fascinating learning how the human body works. I never knew about this stuff. Very well made video.
Im personally using it to train my vocal range in voice acting.
I love how your low larynx sounds like female voice mimicing a male voice c:
OwO, Huh?....i see you..
Wtf is owo.. is that neckbeard shit?
@@fourteencrows1244 It's shit you don't understand peasant. Lol
Ps:
As a lady, i hope i don't have a neckbeard. That wouldn't be too flattering, would it?
Yup.. now I smell mountain dew.
@@fourteencrows1244 Lomfl.
I'm not trans, but I am an instrumentalist who never took voice lessons aside from solfege, and this whole series is fascinating from an acoustic level.
I'm not even trans but this was so interesting!
The throat pitch part blew my mind. So much great info, very technical and in-depth.
no see when I press R1 I just throw grenades.
instructions unclear, blew up bedroom
@Deniz Metinoğlu T. shit me too
@Deniz Metinoğlu T. Isn't it Thermonuclear? I'm sorry to kill the vibe, like; but I am honestly curious.
I stopped using r1, got parried every time.
@@ellenjester7035 Just don't spam. Git Gud.
As a professional vocal coach my self I find this extremely fascinating! Great work training your own voice and explaining the exercises so clearly. Truly masterful voice control and meticulous pedagogy 💜
Thank you so much! :)
not even trans, I'm just here to up my voice acting game
I’m just here Cos I want to trick the boys later
I'm literally here because I've been monotone my whole life and want to change it somehow.
here to get my way more often
@@NothinbutRye I'm here for that reason and for voice acting too!
Same lol
As a death metal fan I find this to be intensely interesting. Thank you so much for opening my mind as to the inner workings of the voice.
Straight from gutturals to this to a blood curdling pig squeal
Very useful for D&D character voices considering I'm a cis male. Thanks! I'll make sure to practice this!
A brilliant technique and I must say, you have an incredible voice! 😁
I feel like half of the people here are just some D&D nerds trying to do female NPCs
also I loved this video
then there's me, MtF perma-GM who benefits in both ways! ^~^
You’re not wrong, I’m definitely guilty of being one of the D&D crowd on here lol
You've also got a Bass 2 singer looking to tap into those sweet sweet higher voice parts
I just want to voice act or sing in a girl voice although I do enjoy talking in a feminine voice more than a guy voice although it might because then I'd be attracted to my own voice lol
Both here
I dont understand what shes trying to teach but I appreciate how much fun shes having doing it.
As someone who is non-binary and struggles with a lot of vocal dysphoria, this has already helped me tremendously. This is the only time I've watched anything like this and I've already noticed a bit if improvement. As someone who also voice acts I've already learned a few of these techniques. But learning these new ones has helped so much already. Thank you so much ^-^
I'm trying to learn for the same reason!
My dnd sessions are about to be wild.
Not out to my group yet but I have a female character as a backup. I want to get to the point that by the time I play her, I can break out the fem voice for the first time in front of them.
I love how the creator doesn't delete the transphobic comments, just let them get angry at nothing it's entertaining.
so true
"When I was exposed to testosterone" 🤯
Dang, the skills are goals, the knowledge is goals, the eloquence is goals, the emotional aura is goals, the look is goals 🙆♀️ your energy is on point, girl!
Also, thank you so much ( > w
As a phonetics nerd, I absolutely love this!
I used my knowledge of phonetics to better hide my accent and never thought of how trans folk can use it. That's really awesome!
I'll definitely share this with my trans and nb friends. And probably with all my DnD friends who play female characters!
Yep, lol! Applies to singing too!
I did the exercise poorly because my throath hurts a little bit. But at one point I just found a woman's voice that sounded perfect for me, it felt natural and it made me feel really good. I was just like "wow that felt super like me" it felt really good. Thank you for these clearly profesional voice lessons, you are amazing.
Cis male here. I clicked on your video out of curiosity and watched to the end. Fascinating and informative! Your lecture was very professional and well organized. I’m sure your students benefit greatly. Best wishes! 😀
I‘m literally crying, this helped me understand all the other videos I watched much better and I feel like I already improved a little! Thank you so much!
Danny I’m blessed to hear that!
Omg I tried it and I sounded freakishly different. I scared myself lol. I'm so impressed.
At first, your videos were a little hard to understand when I start to learn trans-voice, but after 6 months of practicing, they are the most informative ones.
Thank you! I'm so glad you feel that way. I'm constantly working towards simplifying my material for beginners. I'm aware that my older videos were less approachable. Back then I was really focusing on theoretically documenting transvoice. Now that it's documented I can focus on making more "how-to" style videos! Thank you!
@@TransVoiceLessons It is me who should say thank you, so THANK YOU! There were times I hit the walls when I practiced trans-voice, I felt so confused and did not know what could I do to further improve my voice, and my friends told me that I had done well enough but I still felt somehow weird in my voice. EVERY TIME I searched for how to do, it took me back to your videos which really helped me solve those puzzles and overcome those bottlenecks.
Your videos are amazing, you are amazing.
Thank you!!!
Oh yea, theyre so good! Even if you dont do all the excercises you can get pretty far.
Ah, the pharynx and the larynx. I'm a cis guy, trying to learn how to do harsh Metal vocals correctly (so, not hurting my throat). I also find the whole anatomy, that's going on within human vocal tracts when singing, speaking, screaming really fascinating. This video was very, very interesting. In addition I can use this to give my female NPCs in my DnD campaign more of a female voice. I mean, yes, I can talk in a higher-pitched voice but it will just sound like a dude talking in a higher-pitched voice.
I never thought about what makes a voice sound male or female (for example, on many Metal albums, you can clearly hear, when a woman does screaming vocals vs. when a man does screaming vocals...it just sounds different). Really, beautiful video for everyone, that does anything with their voice. Be it as a hobby or a job.
Ah yes, the goode ole black metal rainbow queer coalition.
YO YOU DONT NEED TO ASSAULT ME WITH THIS BANGER ASS INTRO DAAAAMNNNN
As a musician, singer and trans person this one of the best channels I've discovered on RUclips. Thank you for sharing this amazing things!
Wow. I'm not into transitioning nor anything like that, just curious, but this video appeared in my recommendations and i got amazed by it. What you do is super amazing and interesting, and it is incredible how good you make your femenine voice sounds, congratulations!!

As a trans woman I’m so happy, my voice was okay but now I feel like I’m a step forward! 💕💕
I like your profile. I love Hideri. She’s definitely my favorite character in Blend S.
I mean she’s technically he. But I mean we can all tell he’s a she. In the anime they don’t do a good job of describing it. (Not trying to assume but). Ok sorry I should just stop, stop yeah stop.
Blend S
@@joecool1588 yea the fact that she wanted to go the women’s bathroom it’s an sneaky way to do it haha
How long did it take you?
Do you look like your pfp?
I was doing the exercise and suddenly I can hear my voice changing. It felt to good to hear myself with that voice. Thanks for the videos Z.
I really happy for you. I will need to try it
I am a cisgender neurodivergent woman with a naturally deep, monotone voice that really holds me back socially. This video was SO helpful for me and I already feel more well-received by customers at work! Thank you so much!
OMG thank you so much. I've been working on my voice for over a year, tracking my progress with a pitch analyser, and I've found it really hard to break out of the "male zone". Within just a few minutes of trying the resonance test, I tried the pitch analyser again and it showed my average as being in the Androgynous area. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos to help my voice further.
U beautiful
I have house mates, and doing these sounds alone in my room probably sounds really weird, and it's pretty embarrassing
You are so good at explaining! This was incredibly well laid out and presented. Seriously girl, you have a real talent for teaching and for you to use it on something so deeply important to so many people is one of the most beautiful human moments I've ever experienced. From every fiber of my being, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
So thankful I get to help you! Thanks for being here!!
She has a nice voice but I didn't understand a word of these exercices.
Im straight and not a singer but i find this topic really interesting. Its a really well laid out subject and its specifics.. I really like what your doing here and i support that. Much love and respect.
sexual orientation has nothing to do with gender identity, *"cis gender"* is the word you were looking for.
Cis man here, who's training to become a voice actor - while I don't think I'll ever try to explicitly do a feminine voice, this is actually still very interesting for how to do differently pitched voices. Thanks for the informative content!
I'm a cisgender but I always wanted to learn how to do this and have been going at it for 10 months but "how to do girl voice troll" isnt enough haha thanks I love you
cisgender isn't a noun either
I'm a sound engineer, this was actually very well explained haha I clicked because I was curious (not trans) and I enjoyed the video
this is honestly so damn cool. I'm a cis dude and its so eye opening to see you demonstrate these exercises, thanks for your work!
I have no idea why I'm watching this at 3 in the morning, but I'm really happy for y'all.
Cis woman here. Im nearing 30 and have self-isolated for many years of my life. I have never liked my voice and this helps a lot. Thank you!
Not sure why this popped up. But as someone who’s working as an audio engineer with some acoustical engineering, this is a very interesting and informative video! You took a complicated topic and explained it so it would be accessible to anyone, which isn’t easy!
This is a fascinating learning experience. The graphs at 2:28 seem to indicate this is a kind of frequency modulation such as used in Yamaha's FM synthesis: the voice pitch is the carrier, the vocal tract is the modulator. Amazing.
Thank you so much! As a trans woman it’s so nice to see people like you helping us out. Testosterone be damned, I’m gonna conquer this hill and finally be me 🥰
🤢🤮
@@rammjose93what's wrong brah

@@SurmenianSoldier because i like femboys 😋
Hey to anyone struggling with this video (I am slightly cause I’m a bit acoustic). Another extremely helpful example is to imagine any instrument your familiar with, I play an electric guitar, imagining switching strings with my voice was a golden god damn ticket. I really think it’s more about what your brain can most easily and quickly relate to.
That was incredibly scientific and informational! The voice is the one thing I struggle with but as a music producer this made a lot of sense and is helping me smooth out the final frontier of making me feel more like who I am in my soul thank you so much!
I think it's super cool to see something I've been doing for years explained. I use this to shift my voice to be more easily heard, and I never knew you could do so much with it.
Holy! Where were you when I started!!! This is going to take my voice the rest of the way, Omg thank you!!!
I'm bigender and so the ability you clearly demonstrate of being able to so effectively turn that knob is very Very VERY appealing. Like... I'm probably about 80% of the way there, but I have trouble with volume. You're explanation about resonant pitch is the "Loud Spot" makes perfect sense and I'm kicking myself for not knowing this sooner! That must be exactly why I have a hard time with volume!!
Thank you very much!
I fell down the pit of pessimism again and I feel like hell thinking about voice recently.
:< i hope this can alleviate some of that.
I'm a cis dude (maybe enby? Idk) and never before in my life have I enjoyed listening to a recording of my own voice, this is just incredible, thank you.
Im a straight CIS male and found this video super interesting and educational,Thank you!
I'm genderfluid and female, but your videos are still incredibly helpful for working on my "man voice" so thank you!
Your lessons are incredibly helpful, I've looked at quite a few videos but your tips are the ones that finally let me figure out how the process really works. You are seriously a lifesaver, thank you so much!
Not trans, but I'm glad that there are people like you who do this type of thing.
As an audio engineer and a trans person, this video is the best thing I have ever seen, thank you so much!
Thank you for this. I'm going to share this with my trans daughter who wants to feminize her voice.
thats super wholesome
@@BasedChad1 its more harmful to not let trans people just be themselves, thats why you get such high suicide rates. Go back to incest camp you ignorant little bitch
Thank you for all of this. My vocal range is so heavily low i cant seem to get my r1 right. But in time i think it could click. I cant stress enough how empowering the knowledge you provide is.
It just happen to be quarantine, no school, perfect time to practice this
For the first time I feel like I could have a passable voice, thank you!
I really wanna thank you for this. With these exercises I managed to get my voice from 161hz to now 198- 213hz in a few weeks. I practiced a lot. It’s like a new life - thank you! ❤️
I don't know why YT put this in my feed. I never looked up something like this or a need to adjust my voice or sound female. But, the science, explanation and showing examples of how our vocal cords work is fascinating. I've never felt my throat before when talking or making sounds. And to feel it move as I adjust my pitch is strange and cool. I learned something and it maybe useful to me, but also more important, helpful to many people.
Thanks for making this video. (And others)
PS: the great clear voice.
I feel so lost and hopeless.... Just found you and it's so overwhelming how much work I have ahead of me. I was "gifted" what people call a radio voice which I hate and I can't make a high pitch sound if there was a gun against my head.
Thank you so so much for putting these out here for all of us to try and learn from. Imma do my best to make use of them. ❤
I watched this video and within 4 minutes got a perfect female voice 🙏🏼thank you so much🙏🏼
That's wild! Glad to hear it.
I just recently found & subscribed to your channel, and as both a transwoman and acoustics & music nerd this is amazing content! Thank you so much for putting it out and getting in depth into the acoustics part of it, as it helps me in my transition and interests me as a scholar!
Amazing to have you a part of our lil community!
How’s your relationship with your father?
@@noseriouslyimserious4073
How's your relationship with the barrel of a glock ?
@@noseriouslyimserious4073 Which father? Cause I think she has two.. or he or maybe they..? Why the fanta is there things named pronouns? Everyone should start speaking Turkish any of she/he/it is just O in Turkish, idk why a word is just a letter but just one pronoun to everything makes Turkish LGBTQ+ people lot more passive about politic correctness.
Thank you for posting this for free
I never actually thought I would understand how resonance works until I stumbled across this. You taught me in about 15 minutes what teachers couldn't teach me in two semesters
I'm a cis woman and omg she sounds more passing than me! Such a sweet voice. This is amazing.
Aww thank you. 🥺 welcome to our lil community!
This was so useful, as I often do covers with multiple parts, including female voices. And then I found your videos, and wow, I couldn't be more grateful.
P.S. I love your female voice, it's way more feminine than the average, and that's because of the huge study behind it. A hug from Italy :)
I'm a cis brown male, why did youtube recommend this? Also why do i want to learn this?
looks like the AI is assuming ur gender. xd
Yo, I'm also a cis brown male and RUclips recommend me this. Maybe a lot of trans Brown women are watching this who would have put male in thier profile for some social or professional reason. The AI must have gotten confused by that.
And who doesn't want to switch between male and female voices? It's a cool skill to have.
Maybe it's doing profile pic recognition now. There's a lot of pics like that on r/egg_irl
@Deniz Metinoğlu T. I'd be fascinated by the science if it weren't presented through the filter of obsession with gender identity.
Egg
This video has been insurmountably helpful, thank you so much! Without any of these videos, I would have continued feeling so awful and insecure about my voice. I'm a trans woman that passes with looks, but not with voice. Now, however, you have made it possible for me to pass in all aspects. My dysphoria is going away inch by inch after watching and learning from your videos, and for that, I can't express how grateful and thankful I am for your videos!
I'm not trans, exactly - I am trying to explore my gender as someone who is nonbinary - but this video and others have been so helpful to me! Thank you for explaining in such an easy-to-follow way. I wish only the best for you in the future
Wow! This really does something with my voice :) My throat hurts a lil bit after that...but i guess thats normal?
Thanks for all the effort you put in these videos! This one seems to help me the best, but i'll check out all your videos!
Keep up the good work! And be safe! ♥
You should watch the others!
At first it can be normally to experience a tiny bit of fatigue, but as I said in the video: anything significantly uncomfortable or anything that feels unsustainable is wrong. A good indication to know if we are doing the right thing is if there is very little tension. Everything will "glide" into place and fit like a puzzle being finished. :)
Go slow and comfy!
@@TransVoiceLessons Thank you for the advice! Will try to keep that in mind and to be very careful. Also i have to watch some more of your videos...it looks and sounds so easy when you speak. Btw, you've a beautiful voice :)
@@bgreaud Will do! Whenever i've some spare time. Thank you
I am cis but I follow kat blaque and contrapoints so it figures I would get recommended this. this is amazing. I had no idea humans could do that with their voices haha
Hopefully this means more content during this period of time :3
>:3 i'll do my best
it’s actually kinda fascinating that there’s around a musical octave (and even slightly more) of difference between the masculine and feminine values of Hz. i mean you show values of 650 vs 1200, 450 vs 1350, etc on the screenshots. honestly, for all of my life i didn’t realise that the difference is so significant. i perceived it to be somewhere around 5-6 steps higher instinctively.
learn something new every day loool.
also, the level of effortlessness you’ve achieved with your voice is super impressive, great job. kinda tells that it’s been done with a deep sense of understanding of everything around the subject.
and trans people, good luck to y’all in your journey!
Hi, interesting, you mean harmonics and overtones peaks which make the voice brighter or darker rather than the actual pitch? as if I'm not mistaken the trans voice training focuses more oh make tones brighter and sometimes smoother than higher, staying mostly around D3 to C4 as pitches which can sound both typically masculine or typically feminine depending on the resonance used, though it's true male voices tend to dip more often below C3.
When I watched this, I thought, she's just teaching basic intonation and vocal exercise that all voice actors and singers learn. I thought that until she started going into the science of how vocal cords behave. Not many coaches or teachers will go this into depth. Thanks for sharing this.
this is just cardio.
not trans but for voice acting/singing. i tried watching a bunch of videos but the is the one the makes the most sense in depth enough but still practical enough to actually try things.
Awwwww.... perfect lesson. Everything is so clear and the exercises so easy to follow. This is so valuable! I kinda got this, so I'm will share it with gurls who want it. Thank you so much
Thanks so much!!
5:40 for the exercises
I don't know how I got here but this is one of the more fascinating corners of YT I've discovered and I'm here for it!
Though I already "knew" those muscles, this video has really helped me make a clear distinction between the pitch and R1 as you call it. Now comes the training!
