Wait - I just figured. Especially A but also Jenny - when you wrote I have to work on resonance dod you mean I still have the low resonance thing (chest resonance) going to a degree and that is what is making me sound not that good or was it the lack of head resonance that you referred to? Or both? I was always kind of obsessed with getting chest resonance away and did not think much about head resonance, so maybe I misunderstood that to a degree.
What I tried now was more head resonance, but I just don't seem to get much. I tried and I am actually finding these two breaking points in voice that A mentions and my regular speaking voice is in the middle section, so it is not really falsetto, thats good. That said, the lack of head resonance still seems to make it sound like that, possibly. So I will try singing , but the hints on head resonance like this from the link provided:

One of the biggest problems facing TS women is, after learning to produce a soft, feminine voice, to then learn how to speak loudly when necessary without the voice returning to a masculine sound. Women gain loudness by using the cavities inside the head as a 'sounding box' whereas men use the chest. To gain a louder feminine voice, develop head resonance rather than chest resonance --- open your mouth a little more, use more air, and 'push' your voice up into your head.
is confusing. I have a hard time to figure out how to push the voice into the head.
One reason that I can think of now that I read how this supposedly work (if thats really what is happening with head resonance really being in the head cavities - chest resonance after all is not really in the chest) is that I have severe problems with the sinuses. I have some chronic sinusitis and some blockades in them and some excess tissue growth. One doc already told me I should get that fixed with surgery to remove the growth and fix the openings so I can breathe better and possibly not have so much sinusitis anymore. I did not want to do this, but now that I read that the cavities in the head may play a role in voice (and that seems as I understand it now to be the case no matter if one does a voice surgery or not, is that correct, Jenny?), I may reconsider for a triple benefit of that (they can do a bit of nose shaping at that time, too
). So does that make sense or is the head cavity thing either nonsense or should work no matter of such conditions?
Ok, I think I will try singing the next days anyways.
I wish I had more chances to be alone for that though
