3 easy exercises for feminizing your voice

[@sushim0nkey]

I’m not trans but my voice is so deep. And I wish there was a feminine tone to it but there’s not. Hope exercises like these can help.

[@FrenchVanillaCakee]

did they help?

[@MingMeowPusaCat]

Same! Trying this too. I'm 22 and my voice became deeper as I grew older.

@@FrenchVanillaCakee tbh I stopped like a week or two in but I can definitely fake a somewhat higher pitch and a feminine tone, it just doesn’t feel natural (obviously lol)

Finally a video that doesn't just say "yeah, raise the adam's apple and you're good to go", i never understand this lol Thank you for the video, it's such a clear and simple explanation that actually makes me want to try it!

[@LeelooMinai]

Unfortunatelly the video sugests inferrior exercises that rely on whisper that have all sorts of problems built-in, like encouraging the engagement of false vocal folds (which you can hear in the video above...) Stay away from any exercises that use whisper or panting, or any teachers that suggest that you have to manipulate the larynx consciously. Instead, really on sounds you make as your main feedback, and work on the size and weight balance using normal phonation (where your vocal folds vibrate, not retract as during whispering.)

[@comfysage]

​@@LeelooMinaiwhat kind of exercises would you recommend instead? /g

[@LeelooMinai]

@@comfysageVoiced exercises: exercises where you experiment (scale size and work on weight) while your vocal fodls are engaged as for normal speech. Search for "An organized collection of Selene Da Silva's clips" for a collection of those.

I can finally make false chord screams correctly, hell yeah

[@GovernmentAcid]

oh my god that larynx height exercise! i don't know if this is like typical or not, but i went from like a low baritone to like the lower end of what I'd think of as a cis-passing range, after like 20 minutes?? i'm able to hold there comfortably and i literally can't believe how much of a difference this makes, this is insane

[@aaxxll3550]

yes ! playing with resonance (larynx) is key to have a feminine voice ☺️

[@IzzaKoshkina]

This is the video where the information actually clicked. I have watched like all the videos on youtube for voice feminization, I feel like my brain expanded 10 times after watching this :D

[@Marlene-ou5ol]

"Make your larynx up". ????????????????? I can certainly play with a straw in a glass but how it will lead to speak with a different voice, that remains a mystery to me.

[@Miraihi]

Probably the most compressed lesson out of the bunch, cannot be easier to understand :-) First time hearing about the straw method.

[@Sleepondearlittlechild]

So many people bully my low voice as a girl and I wanna change it for my own confidence I hope this works 🙂

[@AnnoyingAllie3]

I don't understand the second one, but this is by far the best advice...

[@zetalambo]

Alright so as I understand it, the voice you use from day to day at your natural pitch is referred to as your "base pitch". It's what you speak at without trying to make your voice deeper or lighter. A goal in voice feminization is to raise that base pitch to something higher.

[@magicalawnmower4764]

i play trumpet and the resonance exercise is actually pretty similar to something i was taught to do to get more in tune notes, so it was fairly easy to understand thankfully

[@MapleLeeff]

1:50 your telling me i can get the voice i want by *checks notes* MAKEING TRANSFORMER SOUNDS

[@forever4go]

MY SAME THOUGHT

[@flowwergirll]

thank you for helping me start out on being more feminine 💜

[@grape_protogen]

I'm a demi-boy and questioning if I'm genderfluid, and I've also got a few female OCs alongside my male ones, who I like to voice. So honestly; even if I'm not trans, feminine tones are just interesting and fun to experiment with for me. It's interesting watching and trying these voice exercises for myself.

[@Loveronedge690]

I'm a girl but I been a tomboy my whole life. It caused me to be on my masculine energy. Thank you for this video, I appreciate it. 💚

[@Tesunandtemoon]

[@Alucia0]

Honestly this helps so much. I feel that i look kind of femanine but my voice is distinctly a mans voice. The fact that my job is on the phone leads to the obvious of people assuming they are speaking to a man, which really sets the dysphoria into overdrive. So i really appreciate this a lot ❤

[@Cheriguvvichi88]

Over the years since I was born bro, I was addicted to wanting to be a boy completely, to live like one, to joke like one, to love their parents the way they do, to be goofy and sometimes mature. But the main part of it, was their voices, it was satisfying asf, for years I didn’t even need to practice, the deep voice just grew in me over the years and I liked it. But at some point, it’s not helping me feel latina 😔 so I need a feminine voice now 😭😭

[@tulipmars]

I’m just a cis girl that wants to stop sounding like a teenage boy

[@highvalue1195]

I took pro hormones when I was 21 and my voice has never been the same. I’m excited to train my voice to be feminine again. Thank you for this ❤😊

[@976dwx]

Hi. What do you mean pro hormones? I am a woman with a very masculine voice and I need help. Any insight or direction is appreciated. ❤❤❤

[@Luciaz-FAH]

@@976dwx "Prohormones are variants of hormones that have been modified to have a stronger effect. They are available as supplements, and they are taken to improve muscle mass and strength." I suppose that's the answer, but I don't know myself

[@wolfsmaid6815]

This might seem silly, but does it work the other way round too? I convinced myself as a child and teen that I should be more masculine, so I intentionally trained my voice to be as low as my natural range allowed it to be. Now I really want to get back into singing and I´d love to have my natural mezzosoprano back and not the artificial alt I trained myself to sing and speak in all the time.

[@docmcfly3933]

I'm not transgender, but I'm using these techniques to transition from baritone to tenor (more specifically the tone of singers like Chester Bennington and Billy Joe Armstrong) They are mostly working, but I keep feeling this pressure in my head and ears. What am I doing wrong?

[@dojaudrey7232]

I feel like I have a feminine voice and people always know I’m a woman on the phone but I also feel like I have a super high voice “masculine” sounding voice sometimes like a little boy and in some of my mannerisms so I’m really trying to find a way to fix it 😪 i almost wonder if I need to deepen my voice in order to sound more feminine but I also don’t want a dark feminine heavy type of voice bc I have dark heavy bold features And facial features if that almost makes sense I think it’s off putting and I want my voice to be a higher feminine sounding voice to kind of distract from that if that makes sense and it feels most comfortable but like I feel I sound like a little high pitched boy w my natural voice, What do I do? 😭😭

[@sniperfun23]

On the last exercise with the straw, how am I humming exactly to increase voice lightness. Like if I use a regular straw and glass of water, do I want more or less back pressure? So higher or lower in the water?

[@reneeyoxon]

More back pressure balances the supra and subglottic pressure, allowing your folds to close more gently, resulting in lightness. (look up SOVT exercises for more info on this!)

[@jacks.6872]

what to do if my natural pitch is around a G#2? I can hit a C#0 at my lowest and around a D#6 at my highest but that literally hurts. Anything above about an F#3 starts to become painful to maintain

[@gillianomotoso328]

Engaging falsetto and doing sirens can help a lot in finding higher notes and registration ~~

I have a very strong criteria of what feminine voice is. Kana Hanazawa. Satomi Koorogi. Tomoko Kaneda. Maria Naganawa. Atsumi Tanezaki. Meghan McCarthy. Nanahira. Xiaorishu. Wolfychu. KyOresu. Write more... And you know what??!!! No trans woman in reality will ever get that kind of voice. And even cis women should be BORN WITH the special kind of larynx.

[@chopstick3555]

Thanks! How many times should i do each exercise?

[@jacquelinev1173]

Thank you for the exercises. How long must I exercise each exercise in a day, for example the whisper exercise? I love to hear from you. Thank you in advance

What's more important than length of individual sessions is regularity of practice. If you can practice a little every day - that is great!

[@MiaMartel64]

Eh, I'm just nitpicking and take me w a grain of salt cuz maybe I'm being too autistic and/or touchy feely 'cuz I'm temporarily off my meds (problems with prescriptions) but something about "so this is gonna sound a little low in my voice but if you are transfeminine and you are feminizing this might feel a little in the upper range of your voice" doesn't sit right with me. Personally I would've said more like, "see you can hear it sounds kind of low the way I'm doing it, and that's actually because of the brighter/smaller resonance giving it that timbre, but if you are just starting out feminizing your voice this might be a higher pitch range than what you're used to." I'm just saying, to the uninitiated viewer, yes, that note can come to sound low in your voice as well in the future if you change your resonance. It's not gonna sound low in their voice but high in yours. It's gonna sound low in any person's voice whose resonance is at about that size.

[@reneeyoxon]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@ripmoney8157]

Too bad I can't do this because of transphobic parents. If they hear it I'm in big trouble. Not even allowed to sing "girly songs."

[@aqema]

I am honestly lost, my voice is giving me so much dysphoria and discomfort. It’s very heavy and low, no amount of larynx raising and resonance control can make it lighter which is depressing. I’m just not gonna talk I guess.

[@reneeyoxon]

Don't give up! There is an exercise out there for you. Have you considered a private teacher? I have a directory of private teachers on the freebies page of my website.
