Girl I've been modulating with great success for the last 6 years. I'm here to up my game and take better care of voice before I get VFS and I just gotta say, you sound heavenly and your face looks like it was sculpted by cherubs. You're doing amazing work with these videos
Okay, this is great. The new setup looks beautiful and the montage is just SO GOOD and satisfying to watch - of course the video is informative as usual, but it's just presented in a truly gorgeous way now! I wanted to address a problem that, perhaps, many folks out there face in their lives during voice practice, be it speaking practice or singing: and it's the lack of room for practice. Sometimes it's about not being able to make loud noises at all, e.g. living in a very quiet and sometimes dangerous neighbourhood, where anything louder than a half-whispering voice isn't really welcome. Other times there's basic discomfort, anxiety and fear that someone might hear you and judge you or criticize you or just telling you to stop doing what you're doing (sometimes in a pretty rude way, sadly). I'm sure I'm not the only one who struggles to find a safe (both mentally and physically, but mostly mentally safe, yeah) space for practice, so I really can't come up with any reasonable solutions aside from "practicing quietly" and "singing in your head" instead of openly vocalizing whatever you wish to sing. Could there be any other tips for "how to practice in places where you can't practice"? Because for me it's been like that for years and I don't see my life situation becoming any better in near future\\
I unfortunately cannot help you with that, but I absolutely relate to it. What helps me is the fact that I'm at home earlier than my partner, so I'm home alone for some time, and that I've started singing along to music which I like just to get comfortable with singing in my own home and to think less about my neighbours. If they don't complain about my masculine singing voice, then I think they will also not complain about my feminine singing attempts.
at times I've opted for singing in my car! there may also be practice rooms available for use at nearby colleges (depending on policy) / music schools / public libraries
You are just a deeply good person, Z. The content is great, too, of course. Thanks for all the ways you make the world a better, brighter, and more melodic place. :)
It's inspiring to see how refined these videos have become over time; I'm just in awe by the quality, and I think it really speaks to the core of these lessons, which is to keep seeking improvement. Well done! 🎉
Singing aside, you look and sound absolutely GORGEOUS ❤ Thanks to you I managed to achieve a natural and delicate feminine voice that passes 100%. And now I'm going to teach what I know to a friend of mine who struggles with voice training 😊 Zhea, you rock!
ZEEE! Stop it, you're too pretty. It scares me because if that's what 5 years or so of transition looks like... me at roughly ~2 years is like... wow 3 years from now is gonna be insane.
An example of not a voice but still what a Pitch Drone in practice sounds like is music done on a tagelharpa. It's a three stringed instrument where most of the musical notes are done with one or two strings, letting the remaining strings be a drone. This is not of course to practice, but you can then hear what it sounds playing around a drone sound.
Wow this seems like very actionable advice, and there are so many thought-provoking ideas to explore. Seems like a really wholesome paradigm. I actually would like to learn to sing, at least a little, and this video is making me realize that it's very possible. I'm still just working on what seems like very basic voice training for speech. And I have made at least some progress. I got some positive feedback lately that surprised me. If I can find some time to try singing, it could only help build my confidence in voice in general. And singing is fun! I've always felt too self-conscious in various ways to really enjoy doing it around other people though. But that's something I might like to work through. Or rather, learn to play through! I just noticed in the description Z calls voice and singing an "infinite game". Seems like an apt description and one that reflects the broader learning mindset that she's advocating. Thanks for the inspiring video Z! 😊🔥💜
Z, I’m caught in a feedback loop where I love hating the sound of my own voice. I cannot escape this MC Hammer staircase, so much like Edmund Hillary Montana, I will have to learn to love the climb.
absolutely loved this! would be super interested to watch a video on how to feminize your singing voice and build high range... i've made decent progress, but not with any particular methodology
For me, the song "I will always think of you", as from the BoJack Horseman soundtrack, is so fun and helpful. I'm trying for the higher part, but I assume that the lower part can also help folks who are trying for the other way
One thing that is difficult about learning for me personally was going from a male voice to female voice, before I transitioned I had a decent singing voice, but I sung in baritone, so very chesty, so trying to sing from the head is like having to learn it all from scratch.
I've been singing along to refrigerators, microwaves, fans, printers, vacuum cleaners and really any electronic or motorized device that makes a consistent sound. Those are my drones :)
If you like Tally Hall, I highly recommend singing the entire Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum album start to finish (maybe not in one sitting like I did) and try to match pitch exactly (no octave shifts) because of how diverse the band's vocal ranges are. Preferably in a space where volume doesn't matter, because you'll wanna sing loud if your vocal register is on the low end like mine (my natural voice pitch is G2 I believe).
i struggle with voice training because every time i try i just start singing... my go-tos are Indigo by Summer Salt and Questions For The Universe and Serendipity by Laufey. i can hit the notes in those songs pretty well but i can't speak with a feminine voice to save my life 😭 for the listening to yourself section, do you mean recording your voice and listening back? or just listening by ear?
I’m a trans girl too and I have a few questions. If I keep doing trans voice and sound like a woman all the time, does it change my structure of throat and will I be able to sound like a woman without doing it intentionally like I do now? Will I still have a original male voice? And is voice surgery necessary for me?
Based on another video I watched from her (I think it was the evolution of her vocal transformation), yes you will eventually do it without thinking, and if you do it long enough you may even struggle to find your original male voice. It's like an extreme version of someone's accent changing after living somewhere else for a long time. But consistency is key.
when I hum against the drone I find a pitch that makes the drone seem softer, almost like I can't hear it anymore, is this a matched pitch? When I move away from that pitch the drone seems to feel like its much more pressing on my ears like I can hear it so much more distinctly against my voice.
Yes! That is a good sign you are matching pitch properly. However, this effect can mistaken by other acoustically pure intervals like the Octave (2/1) and the Perfect Fifth (3/2). Once you have the pitch matched if you slowly move away from it you'll hear the beating and roughness start to form, that's a very small difference in pitch (interval). Very small intervals cause the warbly/beating experience. Then as we continue to move away from the drone's pitch, the rocking will speed up till it's smoother and in different qualities. This is us moving through the interval spectrum. Certain pieces of this continuous interval spectrum have been plucked out to form our 12-note system or any pitch system for that matter. Pitch is continuous. The piano is not continuous, it has discrete tones. The voice is continuous, we have a free pitch spectrum and learning how to adjust our free pitch to find the sensations and intervals we want to sing or need to sing in a piece is what intonation is all about. :) great work!
I know I def need help...but step two is so hard. I cannot listen to myself. I have been a mute for great lengths of time even tho I'm so appreciative of music and play violin.
yes, don’t do that. losing your voice after singing at all is a clear signal you’re laboring, straining, or overusing your voice. you need to build slowly towards your goal and listen along the way for sounds or indications of forced/labored/tense/rigid sound production. we never try to force the voice up. we coordinate a path of achieving the sound we want by listening as we slowly build towards our desired sound.
Literally waiting for this one
Saaaaame
Girl I just started getting into singing now that I've mastered my new voice this video comes at the perfect time ❤
i think this is the cutest youve ever looked in a video!! i love your new hair
Oh my god she’s so slayy
Love the new set! It looks super cozy.
OMG Zhea, you look AMAZING!
OMG ZHEA I LOVE YOU

I've been waiting for this video ever since you teased it on twitter. Thank you so much for posting this!
I STARTED TRAINING UP MY VOICE FOR BOTH GENDER AND SINGING REASONS SO THIS VIDEO WAS RLY NICE TO SEE TY FOR MAKING IT!!!!!
Never pressed a video this fast before. Great resource as usual :D
She is talented, intelligent, and pretty at the same time. Truly the perfect girl.

Clicked instantly (also luv the new hair)
so good to see you again!! you look great :)
oh wow so THAT’S why I always loved playing with my voice against the drone of the vacuum as a kid
Singing in my building's 21 story concrete stairwell is awesome.
poggers poggers
No seriously, I always wanted a video on this and even commented about that a while ago, and now it's here, thank you 💜
Fascinating vid as always!! Excited to start incorporating this 🎉
ZEEE! Stop it, you're too pretty. It scares me because if that's what 5 years or so of transition looks like... me at roughly ~2 years is like... wow 3 years from now is gonna be insane.
It doesn't matter how U look. U will never be a
Everybody progresses differently
I saw some videos about singing but this video gives different and important useful informations which other videos dont say. I love this channel ❤
Wow ive been here for so long.... you are so pretty and amazing! Good job
Ive been training my voice for a couple years. Youre videos are so good 👍😊👍😊👍😊
You look amazing btw xx ❤
new set and production quality is 🔥🔥🔥
Adore u. Hope to one day be able to get some lessons with you < 3

Good advice. I have avoided singing since I feminised my voice, but maybe time I got back to it xx
I sing along with the Spice Girl songs on radio, Petra-B Mxxx❤
Once my own vocal cords heal, I want to get back into singing. This is some fantastic advice!
I always forget to sing with a drone - great video Z

Your femininity is looking really natural, if that makes sense. You look great! You're doing great things : )
new upload:)
I sing in the wet room to the radio, Petra-B xxx❤
Remember that Slow progression is better than no progress ❤❤❤

Lol this is random but I’ve met a few celebrities I don’t get star strucked but I would probably have a panic attack if I ever saw her in person 😅
I've loved to sing for far longer than I've been trans, and I'm excited to get out of my comfort zone

@@TransVoiceLessons Thank you Mother☺️🙏⭐️
I know I def need help...but step two is so hard.
I cannot listen to myself. I have been a mute for great lengths of time even tho I'm so appreciative of music and play violin.
Ps thank you for your ability to communicate about this advice. I heard about your channel from Destiny.
Your humming and piano was so beautiful.
Hii wow very beautiful Girl 😲😍👱 thank you!!😻👍👌🎤🎶🎵
give drone link! rawr
not seeing the drones in the description 👀
how can I feminize my voice while still being able to speak in my masculine voice
I want to know what I should do if I can't sing in the high notes. I already talk like a cisgender woman.
sing in girl voice for 5 minutes. Lose voice the next day. just not worth it
yes, don’t do that. losing your voice after singing at all is a clear signal you’re laboring, straining, or overusing your voice. you need to build slowly towards your goal and listen along the way for sounds or indications of forced/labored/tense/rigid sound production. we never try to force the voice up. we coordinate a path of achieving the sound we want by listening as we slowly build towards our desired sound.

Wait, where are those drones you like? 🥲
