Another tip, coming from a cis male but with trans friends and a majority female friends, men have a different rhythm when they speak compared to females. Feminine speaking usually goes up and down in tones like waves when they are speaking, while masculine speaking tends to be more monotone. Rarely peaking in tone. This video is a good practice to get ones general tone, but if you'd keep the feminine rhythm you'll sound "gay", or just feminine in general.

Try to speak the way you would to a friend if they asked you to help them out or reccomend something. And use agreeable language. Often time it's more a sense of friendliness and genuine helpfulness that a customer looks for, and not necessarily a bright tone of voice. The voice is only one way to achieve that. :)

Even if you could get vibrations in your stomach that wouldn't mean that this is "the place where your sound resonates". It would mean that you're engaging more of the vocal fold mass so the vocal folds vibrate more strongly so the vibrations propagate to other parts of the body (i've never observed them going any further than the chest). Changing the vocal fold mass can indeed make you sound more masculine. I would recommend checking out TransVoiceLessons' video on vocal fold mass.

I'm a trans man who just recently started my transition and this video has made me realize how much I talk in head space, so often that I can't seem to go below chest space. When I speak in chest space I sound much more emotionless, which feels natural, but I've been conditioned to speak in a way that sounds very emotional, even if I'm not feeling the emotions that I'm portraying when I speak.

[@mdust8409]

I relate a lot this. Leaving aside me being an enby who wants a more masculine voice now, I often felt like sometimes I wanted to talk in a more monotone way but I couldn't help but keep thinking that people expect from me to express a lot of emotion trough my speech, and if I don't I'm being rude or I am mad. Even when I'm indeed mad or sad, I get to see how others don't care and talk to me very coldly but I still don't do the same, I still end up exageratting emotions.

[@unemployedscholar4320]

This video was intensely helpful. I have a bass extension that I use to get to E2, but starting at B2 I have to switch to high bass register in order to reach baritone E2. Because I was singing the baritone notes in a bass way I couldn't project the sound. But because you were showing how to phonate using your belly voice, I wondered, maybe I can project it by just brightening the resonance. Since I can phonate down there, then maybe I can hold the note. So I phonated the F2 in the high bass register and brightened the resonance, and I was able to sustain the note. Not being able to reach low tenor with bright resonance was a major cause of my dysphoria. So thanks to your video, I can now sing low tenor songs now.

If i try to emulate that i just change pitch which i dont think its what youre supposed to do. is it because im pre T?

[@EosDoesStuff]

I'm pre-T too, it just takes a bit of practice. I come from a musical/singing background and you're usually advised to sing with your belly voice for a more powerful sound. The natural voice most people speak with is their chest voice, your throat will vibrate regardless. Keep your hand on your chest while speaking with your normal voice, then while trying the belly voice, and compare how much it vibrates. I don't feel vibrations on my stomach much but I do hear a noticable difference in my voice and it doesn't strain my throat unlike what I used to do before.

Thank you mister!!! These exercises really helped me push my voice.

[@shaden3392]

my two options when ftm voice dysphoria: - learn to deapen your voice - learn sign language this is kinda a joke but i really learn sign language, it's useful like if you are with someone who can only communicates with it, but not only : if ypu're having panic attacks and cant talk and need to signify you need help/water/calm/someone.... if the persons that are with you knows a bit of the sign as well it can be really useful.

[@saturnsoderlund287]

thats actually really good advice for panic attacks,, i get really bad panic/anxiety attacks, like i passed out from hyperventilating once kinda bad, and i stutter so much during an attack that you cant even figure out what im saying... thanks for the advice!

[@theapostleofpeace]

I did some of these exercises (cause I forgot the rest) and my voice was deeper for a full day. Thank you! I was doing a throat exercise before that only lasted minutes. Also, my friend is an actor and does a lot of scratchy raspy voices. It's not his actual accent. I wonder what's happening to his vocal chords?

[@jackmarl5534]

Haha, no worries, it takes some practice! Glad I could help! I hope your friend's taking care of himself - there are ways to do that kind of thing safely, but it does take some training and practice.

This is helping immensely thank you so much

[@sillybirdy1994]

The best advice Ive ever seen for voice stuff was given by Morgan Freeman. When asked what technique he used to get his silky smooth voice he said he yawns all the time. Yawning stretches our vocal chords and does wonders. Have fun!

I am 13 and try to transition into a boy. Thanks, this help so much!

[@Jia_Mage69]

My family is homophobic and I'm trans plus I can't get the meds since I'm young. Thank you for the video!

[@Itri_Vega]

I remember this kind of exercise from my theatre class back in high school. I hadn't realized how badly cramped up I was until I tried them, though. I have a deep chest voice by default and am pre T but out in public my voice tends to jump up to the head voice and it drives me nuts. Tl;dr I really need to relax more. Thank you!

[@watashifunnyprophetyo]

ahh thank you so much for this! it rlly works

[@2111jade]

My voice is low enough to pass as male but theres the occasional pitch that goes higher that really annoys me that I want to work on the most. And I can't take hormones due to health reasons so I need to learn to speak more levely. If that makes sense.

This is very helpful, thank you. Question: Since I transitioned my voice does not project like it used to. I hardly had to make any effort to be heard from afar. Now, people often ask me to repeat myself because my voice just does not carry any more. I feel so constricted. Any suggestions?

[@jackmarl5534]

I had the same issue, to be honest I'd just suggest doing more of these sorts of exercises and getting used to where your voice is sitting now - finding your new voice is a process and doesn't happen overnight! Your lower range is louder and the more you practice comfortably speaking down there (I think a lot of transmasc people often pitch up when we first transition because we're subconsciously used to hearing a higher voice), the better you'll be heard. I also like practicing by thinking about filling the space - actively imagining making the sound of your voice 'hit' the far wall of a room rather than just the person in front of you, safely 'throwing' the sound of your voice when you're in an open space like a field/auditorium, etc.

@@jackmarl5534 Very helpful! Thanks!

[@Silvers-Channel]

This was very helpful, thank you very much!

Love the new order playing in the background!

[@angeloeyes9210]

I'm in choir at school and I already know how to breathe using my diaphragm. I have noticed my voice is noticably a bit deeper. That and I've been practicing lower ranged songs. I'm naturally an Alto so it does help that my voice isn't too high.

[@fartbart1]

thank youu

[@masonthejar8890]

thanks bro, i'll definitely use these tips (+ my binder and short haircut lol) to get through junior year

[@MeikoBestVocaliod]

Im non binary trying to see if im trans or not, I have been playing around with names and ive settles with Blake for now seeing how to like it and seeing how i like more traditional masculine voice instead of my normal high voice, this might have helped me figure out my gender identity so thank you

[@emoboilandon6226]

Me trying to focus: My brain: YOUR COLLAR YOUR COLLAR! Aaahhhhh

[@qrandoamero9674]

I (as a closeted gender fluid transmasc(don't ask it's hard to explain) who got a really short "pixie" cut and makes binders out of sport bras and wears a lot of flannels) thank you!

[@sunkissed_apollo8265]

If you have trouble breathing into your stomach, choir could help! I’ve been taking choir classes every time I get a chance to at school, and in order to sing you have to breathe into your stomach! If you don’t like singing, drama class is a good idea as well

[@spooky7371]

i'm a cis woman and i legit just want to sound cool while i play dnd

I’m a cis female that dresses as a male sometimes, and I would love to actually feel like a man, so thank you :)

[@Helvetica.16]

This is a little old, but it helps. My voice is just very weird, it kind of vibrates and makes me sound like I'm sick or crying? So it gets frustrating because I try these exercises and my voice just does a sickly shake and I go back to sounding like a strained pubic child. But I've been trying out these exercises and I can sort of hear a switch, trying to deepen my voice because I won't be getting T anytime soon. Thank you!

[@leavemealone3089]

I liked the video because the information was very helpful. I followed because you like New Order and have fantastic music taste. lol

[@juno9208]

Gender fluid here 🙋🏽

[@mangocookie1247]

My dysphoria mainly comes from my voice is I'm wearing my hoodie and baggy jeans. I end up screaming swears and talking about how I hate how high my voice can go before shutting up.

[@kypoof4020]

I'm a genderfluid afab with a lot of dysphoria going on today so this is my comfort place

[@caty2648]

Thank you! Since I just came out as trans male yesterday, I would like to have a masculine voice.
