Hey! 

New here, but I gotta jump in somewhere! :-)

I've been pretty lucky with my voice.  I basically started with the CandiFLA technique, and added a few things on my own.  Definitely takes a little while;  took me... maybe a year?  It feels like physical changes took place in my throat, ones which can only come with time.

I second the suggestion of a diary.  I started a video diary (just for *me*) to get my feelings out.  But, it also was a great chance to practice my voice -- gave me something to actually say!

Another thing to point out is you should relax into this.  You don't know what you'll sound like.  You have a natural sound which won't be what you expect.  Don't worry about pitch, in particular!  My voice sounded 100% better when I stopped forcing it into a specific pitch.  As it turns out, my voice is slightly higher than both my mother and my sister, and they are much smaller than I.  If I had kept the pitch high, it would've sounded ridiculous.

Anyway, I made a little tutorial.  Lots of the same stuff others cover.  A few of my own additions.  Maybe it'll help you... maybe not!  :-P

I bought all 4 CD from Kathi Perez and have met her twice at Be All in Chicago.  I find it amazing that people will spend $20,000 + for FFS but not invest $100 to help change their voice.

If you want Kathi will do one on one consults via phone plus she has group lessons too.

My voice is my biggest shortfall as I am not full time so I can only practice on days I am out and about in my car.  I wish I sounded half as good as Anna.
