Title: all i need to know to train into female voice?
Post by: 1832vin on November 25, 2014, 10:34:28 AM
hello, i'm trying be femenine before i go into definate mtf treatments.
i'm gonna skip the reason and the wordings, but i'm a male(and that is why i would like to be a female, i feel that i should have born female, but whatevs), i'm not the type that fiddles with the wording.
voice is a dead giveaway, and before i go into hormones and operations, i would like to be a more gender-ambiguous person and see if that helps,
it's quite stressful not able to be what you feel like you should be....; and i would like to try methods that are reversible before i do anything permenent
but help?

I learned a lot from the videos on youtube by CANDIFLA.

Basically this is her technique:

1. I spoke in the highest, squeakiest voice I could manage. I concentrated on remembering the exact position my throat was in. In practice this meant my voicebox was raised a fraction of an inch and my throat was "squeezed".

2. I would then position my throat exactly that way, but speak normally. Everything that came out of my mouth sounded female when I did that.
