are you able to get a sneeze and a cough to sound female

Here's a zinger of a question:

Any of you girls who have successfully gotten your voice down pat without VFS ever tried to impersonate either a prototypical "guy" or impersonate a guy both you and the person you're talking to know?  That still seems hard to me because going into my 'old voice' feels so uncomfortable now   Like, it's not just dysphoric, it literally is physically awkward feeling to do it.

But this is a tool that needs to be utilized very sparingly as well, to truly pass in every situation I think... but just going ALL the way down would be freaky.

ex:  "So me, Crystal, Becky and I were just sitting there and this guy comes up to us, looking all cool and whatnot and he's like, "First rounds on me, maybe later I can get on you".  Like what??? No thanks, Poindexter"

Sheesh, this is making me want VFS just typing this out~  Any thoughts on this?

I can't even really impersonate *myself* anymore; when I try to use my guy voice, it comes out sounding like a woman pretending to be a guy. So I think that means the answer is yes? Though to be honest, I only ever even do that around my wife occasionally and as a joke; I've never been in a situation where I felt like I needed to in public, and I'd rather not anyway. I think it's basically that I'm so out of practice that I can't get that voice back (and I don't want to get back IN practice, so it's moot).

Hehh.. yeah it's tricky, but I do it from time to time. You just have to drop down to the end of your female range, and laying on that kinda doofy 'mocking expression' helps too as that becomes a part of the presentation and keeps from focusing solely on the voice (if that makes sense). With enough practice, your voice doesn't just drop off a cliff, especially when your vocal cords have adapted; it's easier to keep tighter control and lower it or raise it more smoothly.
