And it isn't a mistake. That's who you are. 

I know its just the simplest way to explain that situation and lol true and hmmmm i never ever though of it like that you do bring up a great point

Well everyone sounds funny at first. You really need to train your muscles, after a while the sound comes more naturally.

My own method was a mix of what Samantha posted above and singing.  While singing, I kept picking songs that continuously pushed the boundaries of my voice.  And even though my voice is mostly where I want it, I still push it harder.

Then again, I've been a singer my entire life and this was nothing new.

Meow at your cat. No seriously. Meow at your cat.

This is spot on. My voice coach had me do this to get the correct tension in my throat to start with. The "me" part of meow is what you want. Just make sure you keep your jaw loose, hold the tension in your throat. This and pitch was the core of finding my voice. Everything else was refinement.

Very very good tips!

Quote from: Annah on July 13, 2011, 11:51:08 AMI completely disagree with this. You could look like a super model and soon as you open your mouth:   *clocked*.

I approach the membership desk, because apparently you need a Costco card to purchase the food from Costco, which is cash only. Anyway, I'm not particularly trying to pass, or even be perceived female at that particular moment. The gentleman at the counter asks me as I'm waiting for assistance, "Can I help you ma'am." The very second I open my mouth to speak he begins profusely apologizing, thinking he'd used the incorrect pronoun. Of course I told him he, "...got it right." And mimed a big smile in the air.

As Annah has stated, voice is a huge gender cue.

...Lolwat? Such sexism in a SCHOOL in 2011? Do they force skirts on women, too?

Boys short hair - Grey pants, white long sleeve collar shirt, tie, blazer, black leather shoes, may not date another boy or act in a manner which promotes dislike to school _ ie be any bit feminine and dont come back to school.

Girls -open collar white shirt, navy skirt, long hair unless given permission to have short hair, may not date a girl, may not wear pants unless winter.

Uh, I meant that as a joke. You're serious? Run away. Is it even legal?

Haha just saying  Catholic church = Zoey cant live  stupid school haha but yea really i remember a case where a boy asked to take a boy to prom and wasnt allowed to go to it. even if he took a girl because he was gay i mean seriously

I'm sorry you have to deal with that Zoey. It's really hard to live in a system that is so strict about gender roles. That's kinda the way it was when I was growing up. Just make sure that you get an education, it wil really help you later on.

Hehe i know thanks   gosh i know its off topic but university seeming i am gonna go full time i hope as go to uni should i apply are Zoey or boy me cause i dont want to be sued....

Sue your school for violation of a ton of basic human rights. Then worry about getting sued.

Anyway, for your question, no, it is not wise to apply as Zoey unless you have a special arrangement with the university's directors (which is possible, though, given they are understanding). You should get your name officially changed before that.

Unless you have your name officially changed and documents to support this, it will not be wise to apply under your girl name.  You probably won't be sued but it can cause problems with the admin process and student loans declined if the names on the documents don't match... its not worth the trouble.

Thanks girls and do i have to wait for SRS to change my official gender?

It depends on the country. In Canada, you just need a doctor to approve it for you. Gender marker (M/F) has to wait until SRS, though.
