[@Violet_Parakeet]

For anyone feeling skeptical about practicing this way, being loud, and potentially embarrassing yourself, if you really, and I mean really want a deeper voice (like this affects you in the long run), you need to ignore what other people think. I have social anxiety, and it's pretty strong even around my family. But after years of inefficient practice (forcefully trying to make myself sound masculine right of the bat, no vocal practices like this or anything), I've decided that I need to do it the proper way, even it might be embarrassing to be caught in the act because it just wasn't working for me. I've decided that the payout is much more worth it than quitting or using inefficient methods, even if there are some hard obstacles here and there. Like I said earlier, I have social anxiety, horrible self-esteem, I hate hearing my voice in general, I'm biologically female, not taking any substances or surgeries (and don't plan to), and my voice is naturally much more higher pitched than most females around me, so the pressure is even higher. So as someone struggling a lot with this I have some things to say: Practice as often as you can. Do not practice once a week/month and expect to have your ideal voice. Get over the anxiety as fast as you can because these things will prohibit you from becoming better. Don't be too hard on yourself, habits- especially the kind your *muscles* need to learn to take a lot of time!

[@gl1mse]

I wish I could do this :(( I’m not out to the people I live with and I’m almost never the only one home. getting a chance to practice even once a month is rare

[@Violet_Parakeet]

@@gl1mse Ouch, that sucks. I get how you feel. Depsite my comment, I'm inconsistent as well due to social anxiety (and my family does find it weird and kind of discourage it). I also recently moved into a new apartment, and sound basically goes through the doors like glass, so that's just great. It really sucks because I've noticed that for me this is something I have to be very consistent with, otherwise quality completely drops quickly. But at least you're not alone.

[@the_gray_jay]

@@gl1mse For me, doing this in the shower, or when speaking to a young child (it's normal to play with them with different voices) helps take off the awkwardness. If anyone asks you are doing singing exercises.

[@ddalgihope]

[@che_pe_ha7425]

Have an excuse ready if they come into your practising area. E.g. "it's a singing exercise, I want to be able to sing [insert any song here, especially one with a lower-pitch]", "it's for a (male) theatre/DnD character", "I want to be a professional actor/thespian, these are vocal exercises", etc. I think the r/transvoice subreddit has some more in the sidebar.

[@ayesha36]

Thanks for this! After getting a deeper voice I've had even more people make comments like 'Can you repeat that?' or 'Speak louder' and I know lower pitches are harder to hear, but I've never been able to project well. It makes me feel a little insecure about it even though I love having a deeper voice. This is extremely helpful thanks!

Thank you so much for explaining this! I've been trying to get a masculine voice that I can add to my repertoire since I've been looking into voice acting related stuff, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was missing. You literally went over everything that I was having issues with and explained how to remedy them with a very simple and comfortable exercise. This really helped a lot, so thank you again!

[@unemployedscholar4320]

This video was extremely helpful and you explained adding vocal weight in an easy to understand way. Before my voice unexpectedly broke and I gained buzziness, I used vocal creak, rasping, breathiness, and speaking in a short, brusque way to approximate the buzziness and minimize the harmonics in my voice. Now I have buzziness, but even though I have been able to sing tenor since puberty, and now with buzziness, vocal weight-wise I'm between a countertenor and a tenor, and sometimes I sound more like a tenor altino. Initially, the melodic, the buzzy, and the bassy parts of my voice were separate, and with the buzzy part of my voice initially unconnected to any other part of my voice. Over a period of a month, each time my voice was pretty much unusable for the day and my voice was cracking at the low end, gradually the buzzy part combined with the melodic part. Now the buzzy part is slowly connecting with the bassy part, (B2 to G2) and it sounds fuller now than it was a month ago, and starting to sound like one voice instead of three. I'm noticing the progress of my voice adding weight by comparing my voice to the equivalent age of a person who went through a testosterone-dominant puberty. I was always able to mimic different vocal ages well before my voice reached that vocal age. When my vocal age was 12, I could sound like 15 year-olds and 70-year olds. Now my vocal age is about 15-16. I thought that I wouldn't be able to add any more vocal weight, but by doing your vocal exercises, I'm now able to sound like 17-18-year olds.

[@anthheeia2506]

I’m really sure that if you do it correctly your voice will sound believable

[@amaroselessons]

The amount of time you need to practice them isn't a straight answer unfortunately. Take it one component at a time and practice until it sounds like you hear in the video. T will definitely make things easier, and there may be a wider range of masculine voices you have access too, but that doesn't mean you can't get a passing (as loaded and complicated as that concept can be) voice without T. If you need help self-assessing where you're at, definitely check out the Scinguistics discord and our masculinization workshops! it's also a great place to get peer feedback.

I'm still a bit confused on this part, I'm not sure how to do it without increasing my volume a lot. Thank you so much for the video! This is really clear and helpful if you think pessimistic you‘re closer to the mind of an neanderthal imagine you are a neanderthal and you‘re walking around in the wild. you see a bush and behind the bush something brown. could be a bear could be a rock if you think it‘s a rock and it‘s a bear you‘re dead if you think it‘s a rock and it‘s a rock you‘re just fine if you think it‘s a bear and it‘s a bear you‘ll survive if you think it‘s a bear and it‘s a rock you‘re just fine more neanderthals survived when they were pessimistic and thought it was a bear everytime. that negativ bias is still in our brain till to today with the difference that we don‘t need to be scared of bears. this pessimistic thinking is also in our social thinking because life to a very high degree all social today. that means when you raise a human and don‘t teach him optimism he‘ll be a pessimist because of negativ bias in our brain.

[@amaroselessons]

So we can basically think of vocal weight as the result of behaviorally thickened vocal folds- these vocal folds essentially have more mass, which also leads them to spend more time closed during speech. This results a buzzier sound quality. Try watching the amount of air you push out as you do this. Your loudness is the result of the amount of pressure placed on the vocal folds, and a faster rate of airflow is generally going to bring about more pressure and thus loudness. In other words, more airflow = louder. Less airflow = quieter. If you'd like more help, feel free to check out the Scinguistics discord in the description!

Excuse me, is it okay if I join ya’ll in the Discord? I’m a straight cis-gender male, so I don’t want to invade anyone’s space. I’ve always hated my voice. It’s not what I would call stereotypically “feminine”, it’s weak and high pitched/nasally. I’ve definitely had a few people call me “ma’am” on the phone though.. I’m extremely self conscious about it, to the point that I actively avoid talking to people on the phone and using a microphone to talk to people in video games. Anyway, if it would be okay, I’d really appreciate it. If it’s not, I totally understand.

I have NO IDEA if you will ever find this comment but I wanted to ask. So I have subconsciously been practising vocal weight for years. I now know thanks to you. So how do I combine low larynx and the pitch? That note is higher but do I take the pitch down to the larynx level. Or leave the pitch up there and add larynx. I am having great difficulty. Individually I can do all 3. I'm simply *UNABLE* to combine the two without losing the other. Edit : Wait after 4 mins : it's not like exclusively both. It feels more mellow on the muscles than individually doing them. It's like a mixture of both. They are diluting each other. Am I on the right path teacher?

So I'm not sure i quite understand, I do the ahhhh thing but I don't have that more nasally sound to it, I don't quite sound like you do when I play it back in recordings, is this something that comes with practice or is this something that I should have down to start with.

I naturally have a pretty androgynous voice but I don't know. Its on videos where my voice sounds more like I'm doing a valley girl accent, but with feminine pieces. Not on video it doesn't sound like that.

I’m gender questioning and would love to reach a more masculine register. does breathing have a role in vocal weight? It’s a tip I’ve heard from voice actors talking about how babies don’t lose their voice after screaming for a long time. and I find my voice a bit more flexible after lifting weights

Does this have any relation to vocal fry? or am i thinking about this wrong

[@seaweed1068]

i hear you're supposed to avoid vocal fry as much as you can, and tbh it makes sense that you shouldnt do it

I'm doing the pitch slides and I'm not going anywhere near as low as you are. Is that bad? I have no trouble with the buzziness, it's just the pitch.

I tried a lot but I cant understand any of the excercise what they want me to do. Could anyone make me understand exercise for ftm voice change

[@sarahvunkannon7336]

I'm having trouble applying the information in these videos to my own practice. It's because I'm using different terminology than the video is. My normal voice is fine; I just want distinct voices to read a story aloud in. It has 3 male characters with large speaking roles. Using a recording app, I've settled on good voices for two of them. For one of them, I use the back of my throat a lot. For the other, I feel it more in the front of my throat. I'm struggling to find a distinct voice for the third. Can you help me translate "back/front of the throat" into terminology that is likely to appear in videos like these so that I can understand the instructions? Also, how do I change my pitch without simultaneously changing the other vocal qualities? I don't know how to raise my pitch without either moving to the top of my throat or going falsetto. It's like I can slide along a gradient from young female voice to older male voice, but nothing else. Help!
