Vocal Feminization: A Guide for Complete Beginners

[@LilFeralGangrel]

I simply am not in a position where I can afford lessons, but I am thankful that this is online to get me started on my own, thank you.

[@oliviaflanigan5938]

I have quite a few videos - check them out!! Hope they help! You've got this! :)

[@Thatonecouplewhowalks]

I agree ❤

[@ErasMcras]

I have sessions with a voice therapist scheduled and I really appreciate having this info going in. It’s a bit intimidating working with a professional but likely will be the best step for me

[@oliviaflanigan5938]

Awesome! Congrats - that's a big step. I know it can be intimidating. I think it's all about finding the right person for you. I hope it goes great!! :)

[@aurorraaaal]

[@oliviaflanigan5938]

[@ravennaprojects]

Resonance Cascade

[@HansLemurson]

Saying "controlling the resonance" a bunch of times feels like a good vocal exercise phrase for that.

[@hombreduro1022]

Hey, I',m not afraid to spend some money on this, but what would be an estimate given that you can assess the voice and the techniques that I can do right now, on how much lessons one needs to get the training routine done correctly. My background is that I am a hobby musician so I sing often and can at least understand the theory behind it but when I do some practices I have real issues to judge if its really my resonance that is changing and if so, is it enough or too cartoonish and so on.

[@oliviaflanigan5938]

Hi! It really depends on the person, but if you already have a handle on some things, it could take as few as 3 or 4 lessons or up to 6 months. I know that's not a satisfying answer, but it's a tough one without hearing you! :) I'd love to meet with you!

just call me paul atreides the way i'm practicing that Voice

What a nice video 😊

[@oliviaflanigan5938]

Thanks so much!! 😊

[@HarshitaBhandariXB]

how much time will it take to make my voice more femine? by exercises?

[@oliviaflanigan5938]

Hi! It really depends on the person and how much time you're able to put into it. It's a skill, and can definitely be learned. You've got this! :)

[@philippajoy4300]

Great for U.S. white beginners but I wish someone would talk about the effect of class, race nationality age and personality on vocal pitch, resonance and onset. Otherwise we will all sound like cute white American girlies...

[@padskiii]

I’m a SLP currently giving gender affirming therapy and as a woman of color I understand your comment, but the dialectal and cultural aspects of our voice are detailed factors and have been trained for years, look at this video as the foundation of voice feminization & not the detailed breakdown that individuals will seek.

[@PetraBrown]

Do other drinks with lots of water count?, Petra-B ❤U

[@oliviaflanigan5938]

Other things with water count!

Why would someone need to affirm a gender? Its actually "try to sound like the opposite sex".

[@BrennanYoung]

voice is not merely a matter of biology, it is also social, therefore: gender

[@1888CHAD8881]

@BrennanYoung So gender and Biology are totally separate? Ok... what science explains gender then?

[@BrennanYoung]

​@@1888CHAD8881 they are not totally separate. Gender is originally a grammatical concept. Many languages have more than two genders. Sometimes the genders have nothing to do with sex. (e.g. "animate/inanimate") - it's a linguistic category. Later used in anthropology to describe behavior, routines, ritual which is *connotative* of biological sex.

[@1888CHAD8881]

@@BrennanYoung How many genders are there? (Ones that refer to "sex").

[@BrennanYoung]

@@1888CHAD8881 there are as many genders as any culture finds useful/appropriate because gender is (by definition) socially determined
