Damn, I wish CandiFLA's videos were still on YouTube. They're quite helpful. Are you close with your mom or any other female relatives? Hang out with them a lot. Pick up on how they talk.

And something you can do right now is to remember that women's voices are more melodic, while men's are more monotone. Work on adding some melody to your voice.

You could have a look here:

Yeah im farely close with my Mother she doesn't understand this but she accepts it the rest of my family don't know

Welcome to Susan's Place. Do you know if you are have problems hitting the correct pitch or if it is a problem of sounding like a man with a high pitched voice. If you can hit the correct pitch, then listening to a woman with a nice sounding voice  and attempting to duplicate the voice will help. If you have a problem finding such a woman, look for a female news caster.
If hitting the correct pitch is an issue, the trick is to move from a chest to a head or mouth voice. If you don't know how to do this from singing, let us know. If you know how to do this then you may be one of the few like me who was unable to move my voice into the female range without surgery.

My voice passes everywhere. Every trans person I talk to is amazed that I used to have a male voice. I got my technique from watching the CandiFLA videos. Here's what worked for me:

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.

I'm just going to add that I was STUNNED when I talked to Suzi, STUNNED I say! Take her advice to heart.

theres a spot at the top of your throat that you have to find, it literally feels like you're pushing the words straight from your mouth instead of coming from your chest. It sounds really weird, but it'll just click and you'll know what I mean. Something I've noticed is when I talk like a guy I kind of hold my breath, and when I talk in a feminine voice I talk while exhaling. I also never let my adams apple fall to the half way point of my throat, if It does my pitch will be too low. Beyond that I just practice, I read out loud to myself every night.

First you need to understand how you sound like record your voice in different high tones you can do. Keep doing that until you find the closet one to normal girl voice that don't sound too much high. It was the basic to finding my voice for more advanced watch some tutorials on youtube. I was very surprised when I discovered mine that it sounds like some narrator girl telling a story to children.
