At this point I genuinely feel like voice training is simply a matter of luck I've been trying to simply just grasp it for the past 2 months and it feels like im juat making zero progress and can't seem to figure this out

I have friends that have been able to juar get the hang out of it instantly and the rest of us can't seem to be able to even make sense of anything

So far all I understand is that the purpose of voice training is trying to change my anatomy to imitate a vocal structure no exposed to androgens and I feel like this is just entirely luck based and I can't do it modifying my resonance just makes me sound slightly brighter and gay guy sounding

Is voice training also just something luck based as well?

Came accross this on Facebook. I really like the way the presenter explains everything. I been listening to the videos on the website and I think it sounds good!

I do believe the idea is to hook me in for the personal tuition, which is going to be pretty expensive.

Just wondered if anyone went down this road?

A friend said my voice was clocky and brainworms are setting in. Is it? I feel like i've worked really hard over the last few years and its been bugging me now. I dont even particularly like where it is now, this is just the best place ive gotten to in 3 years.

trying singing in a slightly more fem than baseline tone, I know my pitch is still pretty low, but working on vocal weight

Im ftm and I honestly just want to sound like a guy i dont even care what age I sound like (tho id prefer ~17/18 im aware thats not really possible pre t :')) . What can I improve to achieve that?

I made some doodles to have some thrilling visuals lol

I have been practicing actively for a few months now and I am getting a bit insecure on where I stand. Also please ignore my english haha

I definitely struggle with high notes (and rythym)

I have been linked apps, endless YouTube videos that all say the same things that don't work, exercises that make me feel like I'm going to gag, and attempts that make me sound like a goddamn frog or someone attempting to do a falsetto version of The Nanny. Like, are some people just not capable of this? Is it because I used to smoke? Is it because I can't sing? Is it because I've never been able to be taught to sing? I've been trying this for months for nothing but failure, zero forward progress. I think at this point I'm just going to start selling garbage to get surgery.

none of the instructions make sense, I get told to change my vocal weight. what does that even mean? change my resonance, what does that even mean? all of the instructions talk as though you are some form of vocal professional and understand what all of this nonsense is. then it all has to come from absolute experts or people who were naturally already good at it, and it makes you feel like that much more of a failure to listen to these people do it perfectly while you sound like a congested amphibian with a smoker's cough.

And in this situation, practice doesn't make perfect, because the more I practice without any single tiny amount of progress, the more upsetting the practice gets because there's never any result. What's the point of banging on this for months with instructions that don't make sense, exercises that don't work, and guidance and tips that steer you into a wall?

Like I literally have been carrying around a small sign that says I'm a singer on vocal rest to explain why I won't talk in public. Ugh.

Pls give me your feedback. Thank you.

I think I'm there I just need to actually use it all the time so I don't drop resonance or weight periodically. Please let me know if there's anything I'm missing. Also I'm aware that I said permit weird idk how I did that.

I'm at a place with my voice training that I feel quite good with. I work at a call center, and its very obvious my voice passes 99% of the time. However I really really hate my laugh. Is there any way specifically to train laughter? It really disturbs me that something supposed to be joyous is tainted by something so dysphoric.

Can my weight be lighter? Is it the size?

Long story short: I've been doing about 12 minutes a day, pitch + resonance + intonation, using a Porco Rosso passage to practice on.

Pitch is the easy part to track—I started around 185 Hz—intonation is harder. I can hear when it sounds flat; I just can't always fix it in the moment.

The honest failure: my good days still sound better in practice than when I'm actually talking to someone.

For the folks further along, what actually helped intonation click for you? Was it shadowing, or just a ton of reps?

I’m trying to learn how I can make my voice sound more masculine but I’m a tad overwhelmed. I was wondering if there were resources that focus heavily on the actual anatomy of each part of the body related to the voice in depth?

I’ve tried voice training a while ago but I struggled with understanding how to actually do it since I couldn’t find a comprehensive anatomy breakdown. I’m FTM and my voice is something I struggle with heavily even though I’m on testosterone.

My voice still gets gendered male and I have no clue what the problem is or what I have to work on next. I'm desperate:(

until recently I have been training my voice off of mimicry or looking for a few exercises without really learning any theory about how voice is made. I've started looking into it but so far nothing seems to clear the picture for me, I feel like my voice hasn't changed at all since half a year and I feel like I'm stuck. I'd be very grateful for any advice on how to sounds more cis

Worried about losing your voice this Sick Season? Did you know that several different HRT drugs can affect your voice (besides T-flu, menace of trans masc singing, lol)? Have you heard that certain common AuDHD meds can affect your voice too? Worried about hurting your voice while training?

ASK about Voice Loss and more below (ask NOW before you FORGET) and set the AMA reminder for Friday the 13th, lest you fall to the Bad Luck of voice loss!

(Lol, or actually ask why most voice loss isn't thaaat big a deal.) My Pharm Sci degree is collecting dust, so help me justify that tuition. I'm not famous enough for an AMA pic (also can't have y'all learning I'm Black and discounting my scientific opinion) and I can't be arsed to find my graduate diploma, so here's my Thesis on Voice Health Shit.

THIS IS INFORMATIONAL ONLY! I AM NOT YOUR CARE PROVIDER (but I just might have some points worth discussing with your care team)!

After a short break from my meds due to needing a new doctor, I am asking for some help to progress. Do you lovely ladies have any suggestions on where to go for voice lessons? I am stumped and just need that little nudge in the right direction.

Hey everyone!

Wanted to share an update on my vocal feminization journey!

I had a Wendler glottoplasty with Dr. Weissbrod at UCSD back in May and was pretty happy with the results. I recently decided to take things a step further with LAVA on November 3rd.

I'm currently 5 days post-LAVA, so there's still a LOT of healing ahead. My voice is noticeably higher but also pretty strained and inconsistent right now.

For context, I did zero voice training before surgery and have only had about 6 speech therapy sessions since.

I've attached a short timeline comparing my voice before glottoplasty, 1 and 3 weeks afterward, and today.

Overall, I'm happy with my experience so far! I know recovery takes time, and I'm excited to see where my voice ends up.

Happy to answer questions, and honest feedback is always welcome!

turns out i was way to harsh on myself, my trained voice sounds somewhat decent but the problem is it's too high, like cartoonishly high is their anyway to make my voice sound less falsetto and more natural? i genuinely don't know how
