Hello, all. I'm looking for videos to help with training a male voice. I've been told by family that T does nothing to lower your voice, and that's a long ways into the distance anyway, so I'm looking into training my voice myself. Has anybody got good videos of voice training techniques? I've watched a couple, but they just made me sound like Donald Duck.

I don't have videos but T will lower your voice. Genetics will determine how much your voice will drop. The proper way to lower your voice is to relax the muscles between your larynx and your jaw when you speak. CIS men do this naturally and this is called the chest voice. The chest voice is used by women when singing to produce the lower smokey voice and Karen Carpenter was well known for this. Talking in a more mono tone voice will produce a voice that sounds like a male before their voice changes.

Thank you, Dena. I have a low singing register, so I thought getting a male voice would be easy, but, seems not. Ah, well.

There's heaps of FtM video's on YouTube, and I've watched quite a few. I think you'll find T lowers your voice. I'd wonder what else your family said, because chances are its wrong.
