coughing

[Tammy M]

I have a pretty good female voice and am working to perfect it.  I never slip back into my male voice when I am not supposed to but one thing that bothers me sometimes is my cough, especially if it is unexpected.  I know the best thing is not to cough but it can't be helped sometimes and I am afraid mine often sounds too male.  Does anybody have any ideas on how to cough like a female all the time?

Try this, smile when you cough. It comes out a lot less male sounding.
