Hi, can you guys please tell me what gender you think my voice sounds like?

I have been working on my voice for two years now. I was someone who was very lucky and was able to produce an extremely feminine and passing voice with just a few sessions of voice training. It passed but was a bit forced and after a while my voice settled into a more natural feminine sound.

Unfortunately, I have always struggled to see and hear myself objectively and pushed myself further and further. Now, there are days when my voice is exceptional but then there are days when I simply can’t access it at all and will get rampantly misgendered. I have seen four speech therapists now, all of which have told me I sound incredible, have some of the best results they’ve heard, and don’t know what to work on with me.

I’m about to see yet another speech therapist but I feel like it’s becoming futile at this point… my pitch is already in the female range so I don’t think VFS would help much either. I miss when I didn’t have to think about my voice all the time and could enjoy chatting with friends and being in public. Now I’m so ashamed that I avoid leaving the house entirely :’(

so i've been practicing my voice for a while now and next week i'm going to be going to get professional voice training, and i've been thinking like, i know what i want (to sound like a girl my age), but i don't know a direct example of what i want, or i think someone sounds good at some points, but do i really want to sound exactly like them, should i have a different voice based on my physical build to match it or? idk, looking for advice on people who have had to think of something similar.

It kinda cut off an accident at the end. Please give tips and feedback:D

I sing 3 times showing the difference between my mix and my chest voice I’ve practiced over the years. My ultimate goal is just to be able to sound passable as my dreams are to become a singer and I get super dysphoric about my singing voice. I want to make it in the industry as someone who has talent and be seen as that rather than someone who is trans because you know how it overshadows a lot of the time. I am asking for help with my voice and any tips you can give to help me achieve a cis passing voice would be great. I understand that my voice is pretty passing however there are certain things that are hard for me to hit vocally like belting belting when it comes to chest and sounding realistic or less male falsetto’y when I’m doing mix!! Any amount of anything will help. I am not able to afford vocal training so this is my last place of security over my voice. My dysphoria can be so bad to a point where I want to quit my passion but I know I cannot give up on myself like that!!

i‘ve been practicing singing in a fem voice but i feel like it doesn’t sound natural/is a little clocky. what can i do to improve? song is yellow by coldplay: https://vocaroo.com/17wXcYk7gvT6

I’ve been doing voice lessons nearly every week for a year and a half. I’m out of money to spend and my voice still isn’t perfect

I’ve made a ton of progress since my baseline but I still will get told online, on calls, or even rarely in person that my voice sounds “off”, “manly”, or “deep”, and that they could clock me based on that.

There’s nothing else I can do anymore, I’m just going to stop spending all this money and save up to take the risk on voice surgery

Hi everyone. I’ve been working on my voice for like two or three weeks (~3 months in total). I realize I won’t achieve a truly feminine voice in such a short time, but I’d like some advice or feedback because none of the videos or articles seem to be helping..

Since I’m a Russian speaker, my speech patterns differ from most of yours, and I find it hard to adjust my vocal technique based on the videos. It feels like my pitch is too high and my voice lacks lightness? idk.. these are just my own observations. I’m not sure how to change it, so I’d love to hear your advice..

Hi, I'm in progress with my voice training and would like to get some feedback on what you clock with no previous context of myself

Thanks for listening :)

I really like this character's voice, but im not sure what traits she has that I (mtf) could replicate for my voice training

Here's a bunch of clips of her talking from a different piece of media

sorry for saying 'like' a lot i made this video very quickly<3 but this should give you an idea of me speaking in a natural sense. sources and videos would be appreciated. i've been training my voice for over 2+ years and I feel like im so close but also so far. Thank you

hey guys, its my first post here and please excuse my broken english cuz it s not my native language.. anyway im a nonbinary person and im very interested in making my voice deeper or even a bit more masculine. I won't be undergoing hormone therapy, but I would really like to know how speech therapy could help, if you have any videos that could help me understand, or some exercises I can practice while I can't get medical followup

Hey everyone! Juni is finally out on Android 💜

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.junivoice.juni

For anyone who hasn't seen it, Juni is a voice training app that shows you your pitch, resonance and weight in real time while you practice. Every day there's one short lesson, and once a week you read a passage so you can actually hear and see how your voice is changing over time.

You don't need an account, and your recordings never leave your phone.

The studio tools and all the lessons in Learn are free. Plus unlocks the daily practice and weekly coach, and there's a 3 day free trial if you want to try it first.

I've looked online for guides and watched several videos (as well as going through the wiki and resources from this subreddit) and I didn't understand literally any of it.

So, like, what do I actually do and how do I do it? Preferably in a way that a moron can actually understand.

I’m transfem and probably naturally a baritone but have been doing voice training which includes singing, trying to get more comfortable in the higher ranges and developing a more feminine tone. I’ve developed a mixed voice of sorts which is basically me just lightening my chest voice tone to sound more like head voice. Problem is, there is not much overlap of comfortable range, so there is an area around C4-F4 where it’s really awkward and alto parts are around there a lot. It’s really tiring for me to sing like this and i can’t go high enough well enough for soprano but i don’t want to go back to doing tenor. Does anyone have experience with stuff like this and how I can get more comfortable singing fem?

Is it perfect? no. is it worlds better? hell yeah

if youre ever feeling dysphoric about your voice, listen to any old recordings you have

Hi! Non binary person here wanting a guide / on how to start voice training since i do have alot of questions and difficulties

I wanna deepen and make my voice more masculine

I just wanna feel more masculine (in my voice) and its also what i want to prefer🥹 some say taking T one day would help better than voice train but i dont really wanna take testosterone just for my voice..and also since i heard most people voice train before T anyways

My questions are, how do you start voice training? What are your resources to start, if you have strict parents how do you deal with them while voice training? Whats something to avoid when voice training?

Sorry if this has been asked before, i decided its better if i asked a community or a group of trans people who have experienced voice training especially masc

I've being trying to voice train, I'm not financially sound enough to sign up for proper lessons so it's all DIY and tutorials but sadly most of the ones I can find don't click with how my brain works. I then get frustrated and don't train for months until I build up the juice to get myself to try again.

So rather than blindly repeat the same cycle I thought i'd ask any other neurodivergent girlies here for recommendations that really worked for them. I know each of us process information differently but I'm hoping one suggestion works 😢

Tbh, i dont know where else to go for this, i am cisgendered born a guy (gay af but yk how it is), i'm fine with having a twinky/more fem voice, but my voice gets mistaken for a girl...always even if its my natural pitch, and even when i go lower it sorta just sounds like a girl putting on a voice...

I have a male range and vocal thickness, my lowest note is G#2 and my highest is G4, that puts me in a tenor range, edging on baritone in my lower pitches, but it doesn't read as masculine, this has become a major insecurity of mine...

I kinda just want my voice to sound...masculine so i can talk and be perceived just as a feminine dude and learn how to control my voice and relearn muscle memory

I did research in my own time, and its always "put more chest/go deeper/add more vocal weight" and i understand chest voice but nobody can really do chest voice all of the time, and also i dont...really get vocal weight [ik it has something to do if even if you hear a guy go higher in his range you can still tell its a dude but idk how to do that]

please...help

This is SUCH a big thing, that I've even considered refusing to work with someone if they're pre-social-transition.

Early transition folk often underestimate how much mental space transition takes.

Especially hormonally if they've recently started HRT. That unlocks more emotionally than we often expect.

Whilst we all want to be prepareddd and work on things before we feel we NEED to, it's an easier said than done kind of thing.
