Hi everyone,
I've been sporadically training my voice for the last week, and just recorded myself reading the Rainbow Passage.
Please don't be afraid to tell me if I don't pass; I don't expect to. And if you any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
Autumn,
Thanks for feeling confident enough to share your recording. That isn't easy!
Voice training is the biggest hurdle I see in my transition, and from some friends I've talked to it took them a long time as well! Keep up the hard work!
I listened to your recording several times. I think you are definitely in an androgynous range. The one thing that I have noticed with my training, is women tend to end words going up in their modulation, while men tend to go down.
For example, take the way you say
"Prism",
"Rainbow", "Colors" and
"Horizon". You are starting the words with a higher pitch and ending the second syllable on a lower note. Making your voice do the opposite is very hard!
That might be an area you could listen to other women in your daily life or on TV and hear what I mean. Try to start making the pronunciation more "sing song" the way they do.
You can do it!
