Hi there, thanks for the feed back. I dont know what you are talking about with the frequency and a3 and d3 but im still working on it. Since you seem to know, could you explain them in to me? id love to know what i need to get to pitch wise. If you could suggest a note for me to practice and work from that would be fantastic!! Im always scared of going to high(of course).
Absolutely happy to help as much as I can. When I refer to A3 or D3 I am referring to notes on a piano. The letter is the key and the number is the octave. These also directly relate to frequencies...
http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.htmlMale range is 90-150hz and female range is 190-250hz. I have also seen it notated as 100-150 for males and 200-250 for females. After testing a number of my female friends' normal speaking voices, I have found that a majority of them are actually below 190. Some are as low as 170.
If I were you I'd aim for an F3 or 175hz for now.
This is the average female frequency. A3 or 220hz
If you want to easily speak in a specific range, first try to hum the tone. Then, try to speak a sentence in monotone using nothing but that tone, almost like you are singing the sentence. Then try to speak the same sentence closely to that tone, varying your pitch above and below it.
This is a technique I learned from one of DeepStealth's youtube videos on voice feminization. It has helped me a whole bunch! Also Kathe Perez has a similar exercise within her mp3 tutoring stuff.
