I'm really lazy when it comes to my voice but I find the best thing to push me is being out in public it forces me to exercise my higher range. My endo told me the other day that my voice is fine and he asked me what methods I'd used I said none and he was surprised. I'd say with time it will find it's own place.
But saying that I'm going to start voice training when I find a job as all the online stuff is too confusing and blah.

Over the course of my voice training, I've had several "breakthroughs" only to realize there's something more (or even less) to do. In the end, whatever you do, do it every day. Even if after several months you feel it's not where it should be and decide to go with an entirely different approach or regimen, at the very least you'll have some greater understanding and control of the appropriate muscles.

I personally started with various YouTube contributors, then picked up Andrea's program, and now I'm working more closely with recordings for fine tuning. I have a small choir background, so I had a little head start.

Has anyone had any experience with programs that show what hertz frequency your voice is?

A frequency tuner can give her instant feedback, which can be helpful.  A frequency tuner is a little device that displays the hertz and usually the corresponding note in real time as it "hears" sounds.  She can purchase one at a local music store for like $30.  Also there is a free iPhone app called Trace Tuner that works okay, if she happens to have one.

I'll have to bring that up to her today. She probably knows what one is and never even thought about the possibility of using it that way. Bianca tends to be one of those people who is to smart for her own good (meaning that the obvious is sometimes lost on her until pointed out) haha.

Oh I also just found a chart that should give you the info on the target hertz and octaves of a female voice that you were asking for.  (scroll to the bottom of the page)

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I have actually been working long distance with Kathe Perez from Exceptional Voice. I sat in on one of her seminars at SCC and totally clicked with they way she taught.

Plus having worked on it myself I felt stuck at times. So I highly recommend a speech or voice coach familiar with trans patients. Getting constructive feed back as made a big difference for me.

But as everyone else has mentioned, practice, practice, practice.

Well went and pulled my chromatic tuner and the batteries were dead when i get a new nine volt I will try the techniques listed above thanks so much.
