5 YEAR VOICE TRANSITION TIMELINE | The Evolution of My Voice

In this video, we will be going over the evolution of my voice over the course of 5 years. It has been a long and bumpy ride but I'm infinitely thankful to be where I am today. I hope by sharing this it can help those who are feeling stuck or lost in the process. Voice alteration is fundamentally non-linear. There will be moments where you have zero progress and moments where you go further than ever in no time. It's tricky to determine which side of that you're on at any given time. Focus your sights on the long game and constantly interrogate yourself about your own experience.
13:40 for the seamless back to back audio timeline.
warmly,

If I cringe hearing my own voice, I can’t imagine what she’s feeling rn
Bibble i wonder if this is universal, i have a southern accent ( im from MS) and i literally abhor the sound of my voice but other people say its not that bad. Those times when you wanna know peoples true thoughts.
Amber Armstrong yea, many people hate hearing their own voice including me lol
Oh good I thought it was just me
Nope, i honestly think its most people, at least anyone ive ever asked doesnt like their own voice, makes me wonder if people with voice actor quality voices do or don’t. But these videos have shown me you can change it to some extent. I was blown away with by the level of manipulation she has. Not to mention the knowledge and talent. Its enough to make you jealous.
aroused
ngl I, as a cis male, am watching this mostly bc i want to be able to sing along to carly rae jepsen songs better but also like you go girl you sound great

This might be the best comment I’ve read
U don’t have to say cud dude ur jus a biology male don’t put labels in
the fact it’s possible to train and change your voice like this is incredible
Absolutely unbelievable!!
Your first attempt at a female voice sounded so insecure 🥺. The amount of progress you made is amazing!
That’s exactly how I sound lol😂 it is so bizarre trying to talk differently. Unless you really really know how
I find it impressive. To be frank, her first attempt sounds quite androginous already - like a low voice of a young woman. Or a higher voice of a young man. It would be hard to guess the gender just by the voice, with no context tbh.
Honestly her week 1 voice sounds super pleasant to me
Yes. She spent five years or so on that.
But it is like listening to Jimmy Page: practice as much as you wish, you will maybe make some progress, but do not believe that anybody can become a Jimmy Page.
yep
This is witchcraft, sorry.
Witches > bitches
I'm going to agree, absolutely Witchcraft. (This is a compliment, of course).
Grev McGrevington I originally read this comment like a compliment lmao
She really beat the male voice up 👆🏿

This sounds like she’s making fun of her younger sister or something
Lol true! 😅
LMAO I'm dying

I have been out for almost 2 years now and am still paralyzed by fear of my voice. I came across one of your videos from someone on reddit, and I watched your video on pitch/weight. I did not know until 15 seconds into THIS video that you were trans. I cried, and now I am so excited to practice. Thank you for the inspiration!
Indeed I am trans. So glad to be able to encourage you to try. You'll crush it. 💕
😊😊😊😊
😊😊😊
Woah, so voice training permanently raises your voice? Dang I’m a femboy questioning nb but I wouldn’t mind having a higher voice without surgery that sounds lit! You give me courage. I am only 16 tho so.
Update: now I identify as trans!
Second Update: Nearly 3 years later, and i have finally started hrt. It took a while but im super happy!
Ayyy! Good luck on your journey!
good luck with the journey
Training and hormonal replacement therapy. Estrogen and anti-androgens can change the anatomical structure of your vocal folds!
@@sm4shcarly244 doesn't it also gradually change skeletal structure?
doubleAAbatteries689 If one is past puberty, then probably not. Plastic surgery can definitely help create a feminine face. As far as the person in the video, she could’ve had a feminine-looking face as a male. It’s all about the genetics
literally never would have even guessed she was trans, honestly pretty insane the progress shes made with her voice.
That’s the point......
That’s like the point..
Hands, shoulders and jawline usually give it away... adams apple aswell assuming it was ever pronounced.
@@TyrooShino nahhh i cant tell grow up 😂😂
The shoulders and collarbone look odd tho
I wish you weren’t so harsh on yourself, that person went through all that cringe so you could enjoy the beautiful pipes you enjoy now.
Dysphoria's a bitch.
Dysphoria likes to be negative with yourself
I mean, that’s kind of the whole point of criticism, which is what this video is
it’s important to be able to track your growth and see it in real time like this, but it’s also good to be able to be critical of your older production (as it demonstrates thorough knowledge of the path of improvement)
she didn’t really seem to be excessively negative to me beyond basic objective criticism
I completely understand the cringe and disgust she feels toward her dead voice. It's a reminder of a time in life when you felt so lost or stuck and didn't think you were ever gonna get where you wanna go!
Speaking as someone starting her transition, hearing your first girl voice hit HARD.
Thank you so much for making these videos!
Archive higher pitch and more feminine voice with this effective voice highlighting tea. High in Vitamin C, vitamin B12 and Thiamine. You should try, take two weeks to hear changes and helps your throat stay unhurt whilst practicing.
Crazy how long it takes for MTF and how hard it is to change their voice while FTM voice changes on its own in just like 5 months (starting with 2 months) and you are unrecognizable. A lot of hard work to be put in for MTF huge respect.
its hard but well worth it :3
testosterone widens the cartillage constraining your throat and it's a one way process because cartilage never shrinks only withers
it's weird
Wait silvyya?
How in the world did i find you here? @Silvyya
Cause the default before we became male in the womb is female.
I didn't actually realise you, yourself were trans until you played the tape of you speaking. I thought you were just an educated vocal coach or something. The work you do is amazing!
Thanks so much! :D
On god, I thought the first recording was a different person entirely before I rewinded and actually paid attention.
Isn't she amazing?
this is the best thing you could ever say to a transperson
I thought the same, thank you so much for sharing your work, you made me cry 🥺💓. I love you so much for giving me hope that I can sound different 💓🥺.
Her dead voice is nice, too, but her voice now is just soooo pretty.
ty c:
her dead voice is me and i don't like it 😾
I'm a cis boy and I wish I had her dead voice... It sounds so good
i agree! her dead voice was really nice but her voice now is so beautiful and also nice as well
@@dem.l1278 I’m a trans boy and I wish I had that voice
As a baby trans woman (only realized it literally a week ago) who has always hated hearing recordings of their voice because it's so much deeper than it even sounds in my head (and never knowing why I hated it so much until now) hearing your progress actually gives me a ton of hope. Now I just need to get over the executive dysfunction from my ADHD and get practicing. 💜
Executive dysfunction sucks :(
I'm a trans guy and for a while now I've wanted to deepen my voice, but I never was able to put in the time and effort to try! It's hard to try to work at something when you feel sorta alone in the situation.. (I'm not quite out yet)
But I know one day I'll get to the point where I'll be happy with my voice, and I know you can get there too! It may take a bit of work and an extra push, but it's totally possible!! I hope things have gone well in the past 4 months since you commented this.
You got this, girl! I believe in you!!
as a trans guy, youve got this :)
I have ADHD too and I've been struggling with the same thing as I've only come out recently as a trans woman. You got this, I believe you can do it ♥️
Wdym by baby trans
Executive function sucksssss 😩
But being trans doesn’t. We’re living proof 😎
even your dead voice could pass as a butch woman’s voice ahah you got a good one❤️
lol! thank you :D

"Wow, cute voice"
*plays second old-voice clip*
"Wow, cute voice"
The reason your voice didn't sound right at the beginning was because the transvoicelessons channel wasn't a thing back then
The Time Paradox
Your deadvoice sounds like every FTM voice timeline like 2 months into HRT
o.o no way lollll
Honestly, I was gonna say that your voice only sounded like super butch in the beginning, 'cause I know cis girls that sound exactly like that.
My voice sounds way higher than that and I've been on T for 6 months ffs
@@menacingjack i was on T for almost 9 years. give it time. :)
TransVoiceLessons why does this have 4 likes when you said you’re mtf which means you wouldn’t take T dude wut
Everytime I meet a trans girl and she tells me she has vocal dysphoria, I show them this video. Everytime, the reaction is the same, wide opening eyes. Many people don't know the potential hidden in each one's voice. That's why this video, Zhea, is definitely life-changing for many people. I mean, all your videos are good/fun/interesting/practical, but this is a lifesaver for many trans girls around the world. This video gives them hope and that is no small thing.
I had no clue that you can change your voice so much and reach into passable without surgery.
This is a little inspiring as a GNC man. I may not be a trans woman but I have a lot of feminization in my appearance, talking, and behavior. My voice can make me a little uncomfortable from how deep it used to be. Currently I can have a semi-passable voice and I’m really trying to reach a tomboy-ish type of voice as I want to keep a fraction of my masculinity but still wanna have my femininity. Great video! Also I literally couldn’t stop saying out loud how pretty you are.
You work at gnc?
What is a GNC man? I tried googling but nothing relevant comes up.
@@olive8604 gnc is the initials for gender non-conforming. It means people who appear, behave, speak, etc differently from what society thinks their gender should be. An example would be a man with long hair, wearing makeup, and wearing a dress whereas society usually imagines a man would wear a suit, have short hair, and have more of a masculine look. I’m gnc and don’t conform to what society thinks I should look and act when it comes to my gender. I’m a man but I wear makeup, dresses, and a lot more typically feminine things! :) this term can be used for anyone that wishes to use it if they fit the definition.
@@taylor9683 Thank you! I actually did know what gender non-conforming meant but wasn't familiar with the abbreviation. :)
I recently came out as non-binary and I think I will start dressing more GNC as I transition!
when my natural voice is deeper than her deadvoice and im a cis girl 👁👄👁
Well, this can apply to you too then, if you want to raise it! :D
pitch isn’t the only indicator of gender in a voice, I’m sure yours is beautiful 👁〰️👁
@@jennywithaglock3916 of course not, just saying she can use the same material, if she wants to change something [:
👁👄👁 we love vocal fry
She already had a very feminine voice before training, lucky girl.
Geez I’m so ignorant about how much progress someone can make as a trans woman with their voice WITHOUT surgery. This is so cool!
As a trans guy I can agree. Consider my mind officially blown😅
Surgery rarely even does much unless you're training at the same time. You can't depend on surgery to fix everything.
Jonah W. oml- so i can make a male voice!! AAAA-m guessing it will take time? :’)
@@Achzio Training for a masculine voice is more difficult and usually requires testosterone so that the larynx drops. I've heard it takes about 3 years.
Septuple damn.
I don't normally tell other trans people that I couldn't tell because I know not everyone appreciates it, but you know that we can recognise each other in a way cis people can't and this time I genuinely thought you were a cis vocal coach because I've never heard such a flawless feminine voice in a trans woman before (I hope this isn't read as an attack on other girls' voice training trajectory) and it's clearly the result of a very long journey that you've put a lot of work into. I've seen a lot of people give up on their voices and I wish I could show them this video as proof that nothing is impossible.
A way you show others these videos is to talk about how it helps you. "Hey, I've been watching some YT vids showing me great tips for my voice."
I started watching this after looking up a bunch of vocal feminizing surgeries and this is giving me so much hope. I’m a detransitioned female and took hormones for about a year and I feel like it wrecked my singing voice. I adored singing until I went through this but now I know that I can work towards improving my voice I feel so much more at ease!
Hey, I’m also detrans. May I ask if you had any success with voice training? Does your voice sound female now?
I'm a straight male, but honestly if I could master feminine voice to this degree it would be a super useful tool for singing. Always been a fan of female vocals.

@@TransVoiceLessons Question: you were talking about modifying R1 and I can imagine how one can squeeze it but I can't imagine how can take something small and make it bigger. Are there examples of females shifting their voice like you shifted yours but in reverse?
Genuinely curious and want to learn! Thanks!
@@AntonAdelsonftm's usually have an increase in R1, the testosterone lengthens the larynx and so the voice of someone who is ftm does change with hormones, mtf people do not however since estrogen cannot shorten the R1
This is an incredible video. Your self-analytical ability is exemplary. Like, you straight up should be considered an historical figure imo
This is so impressive! Kinda makes me realize that I don’t have to give up on having a nice voice despite not reaching my goal in just one afternoon!
her: *plays audio track*
me: wow that sounds good!
her: ahmmhmm that is not correct. Because according to the encyclopedia of splgdickurfuie
Ah yes, of course
You can tell what its supposed to be, but you're not too sure whats wrong
Maybe it's just me, but with her explanations I could kind of grasp the problems in the older voices. Not intellectually at all, but intuitively
Is it a vine reference, or what ?!)

I'm 35 years old and only recently put all these confusing complicated feelings together and realized I'm a trans woman.. and I'm going to transition but it's so goddamn scary. But seeing people like you makes me really happy and hopeful. If I could get my voice to be more femme, even if it's just a little bit, I would be very happy, but I know it's a long long long long long journey and I just started
You're not alone. People make us feel so insecure that we're scared to be truthful to ourselves.
I didn't know it was possible to change one's voice to such an extent, that is so cool.
This video made me cry, I can't believe where your voice started! My voice is so deep I gave up entirely, but hearing the huge difference in where you started and how beautiful your voice is now I just started crying and I feel hopeful again for the first time in nearly 6 years. Love ya Z!
This is such a touching message! Thank you! I’m glad I can help you find hope and greater freedom!
went from 'bruh' to 'hiiiiii!'
Your voice is wonderful and it is fun to see the transition. It gives hope, and a realistic timeline, to those that are trying to change their voice.
Also, your masculine voice was not gross. Just different. Please don't shame yourself, you are, were, and always will be awesome. We also don't want those who still have a masculine voice or choose not to change it to feel that their voice is gross, or that you might feel that their voice is gross.
When you said basically nothing after 10 month, it felt like there was a big difference. Very fun to see the progress you've made. It's very inspiring!
random but “dysphoria is not rational” helps me a lot sndnsbs im not transfem im actually non-binary but your video is amazing I’m proud of you 🖤
same, gang! rock on and good luck with progress
Ram the Cowy thank youuu you too!! I’m just watching to learn more cuz my voice is pretty deep for an afab and i like it that way cuz i don’t feel dysphoric when i feel masc which is about 10% more than fem shdbsbs i appreciate it though 💘
@@seance444 it's okay! you don't have to have dysphoria to be valid or to even want to change, as I'm sure you know 💕 im amab (but only came out to myself recently lmao 👁️👄👁️) and have a deep-ish voice which I don't have any dysphoria over either, I just thought "well this might be fun, what if I try it and end up liking it? might as well!" anyway, keep at it non-binary pal ♥️

@@seance444 mtf here, this is the most wholesome interaction I've seen in months ♥️ keep rocking it both of you!!
It’s crazy to think that as a trans guy the only I have to do is go on hormones and then my voice will get deep and you girls have to go through all of this training. Sending love!
Yeah, it sucks ;w;
As a recently cracked MTF egg, the statement at the end made me tear up. It feels so empowering to hear that, yes, I CAN take control of my body and create the identity I want to create for myself. Thank you so much for all the work you do, I’m sure your videos will be a great resource as I begin my journey!
Don’t do it man

Its unreal how in-depth your knowledge of understanding tone and pitch and control of your own vocal chords is. Its absolutely fascinating.
Thank you!!
Damn, I don't understand half of the "technical" words you said, but I'm so impressed. The way transwomen are able to change their voices through hard work and dedication is incredible, and you are certainly the master of vocal feminization.
It's "trans women" with a space between.
@@MxPokirby okej
@@sagawennstig1140 The reason why there’s a space is because transgender is just an adjective that describes a specific group of women. When you combine the words into one word instead, it seems like you’re considering trans women something distinct from women
@@andreadamon2197 okej, I understand that. I'm Swedish, and I guess I used the Swedish spelling of the word without knowing it wasn't correct. No offence meant and I thank you for taking the time to explain :)
@@sagawennstig1140 You’re good. It’s a common mistake
I have a squick reaction to the sound of my current voice, so I'm feminizing it as the first stage of my transition. Your progress over time, and the nonlinear nature of the process gives me hope of finding my own voice. Thank you.
I've given up on a positive outcome of a transition. #1- I'm 38 now.
#2 A parent already by the time I had the courage... I still am haunted by dysphoria about it. Your videos are very inspiring. Also very educating. You Rock! \M/
RESPECT!
So my friend is transitioning MTF and I want to be as helpful as possible. So I've been watching every vid and I'm even practicing these vocal techniques as well so I can work with her and just be there to help out. I've known them for years. I love them like family and at first I guess I was utterly confused as to what they meant by transitioning. I'd even say I was against it at first. But I love them so much. I want to be supportive. So thank you for posting all the vids you do. This information is BEYOND useful.
Wow you're such a wonderful friend good luck💖
you are such an amazing person. just know we appreciate allies like you so much 💕
you're a beautiful friend 🥺💕
good luck!
not to echo the last 3 but this is like the best youtube comment ive ever read
This comment is extra special to me, seeing you're a doom fan. Good shit, king
To my untrained ears, your progress is unbelievable!
we have a culture thats so obsessed with "talent" rather than genuine hard work, its so nice to see someone willing to show how they have tried and failed to do things rather than act like they were always great
As a musician and vocalist I find this fascinating. I didnt know such a vast change was even possible. Awesome. Nice synth collection by the way!
every cis person in the comments: "I AM NOT TRANS I AM CIS... I NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT I, AM CIIS AND THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SHARE AND RELEVANT TO MY COMMENT, I AM CIS. NOT TRANS. great job queen" lmfaooo. they have the spirit tho
okay this is actually hilarious. That said, I love my cis audience. They are really trying 🥺🥺 lol
To be honest, this is the same, except for Vegans and LGBT+ people in non-LGBT/Vegan videos.
They a lil confused, but they got the spirit
@Shay Patel But it isn't reversed. So theres no "outrage" no matter what
probably cos they want you to know that the information isnt only interesting within the trans community, they have support everywhere.
The facial expressions you make when listening to your later recordings is precious. I can tell how pleased it makes you to hear your progress.
Thank you! It was fun reacting! I may do more stuff like this in the future. Like a.. singing voice evolution video. That'd be cool!
@@TransVoiceLessons I sound like a man and I'm a woman I hate it because all I get is negative things on it I really want to change my voice because of how Insecure I am about it too thank you so much for this! :)
I love that you don't shy away from the time before your transition but actually fully accept it and show it as something natural.
I'm also so shocked by the knowledge you have over how the voice works. I didn't know this existed.
Been listening to your music for the last couple of weeks and it's a shame there's not more of it because I'm completely hooked.
Much love.
I dont know what you're complaining about. you sounded good by first week 😭
I'm going to sound like a freak, but oh well. You have cute teeth!
aww that’s sweet 🥺 ty
you’re the second person to tell me that 😳
@@TransVoiceLessons You have cute teeth. I'm I the third you did someone else say that in the meantime?
won't lie I was focused on her teeth and voice the entire time like.. wow absolutely gorgeous.
I'm going through a super hard time with my dysphoria, I'm a 6'7 hulking mass of a man, and seeing you have the audio from your start to your end is so nice. I wasn't expecting your dead voice to transition so fast, and after all of that is just perfecting and saturizing a beautiful voice for a beautiful girl. Thanks for posting this, it gives me hope for my transition.
I wish you the best of good luck with your transition 👍
I’m a lesbian and personally tall women own my ass. I’m sure you’re gorgeous
Hoping the best for you!! Coming from a trans guy :)
Dear IcarusBSP, I am also very tall - 6’9’’, in my mid 40s and MtF transgender. I am out to my wife (who accepts that side of me) and a few other people (who largely try to avoid the trans topic). I had strong dysphoria in 2011-14, then I managed to shove this aside for a few years, but at the cost of anger issues and depression.
Now dysphoria has been back for some time and I am contemplating transitioning in some way or form over the next years.
I go back and forth in my mind what that should look like. Given my height, I feel like I cannot completely give up my male “safe space”, which allows me respite from being gawked at when out as a woman. It is just tiring and frustrating after a few hours and I just feel like going home. I feel like if I made my best effort over a couple of years with voice training, make up etc, I could actually be quite beautiful and feel good about myself. But I feel that my height would always prevent that I can live a normal life as a woman.
Then I consider where to create sizable female spaces in my life without making my family’s life miserable (by them suffering all kinds of prejudices).
It is very hard to find an acceptable way forward.
I would love to talk with you about our experiences. Maybe we can provide each other some support and maybe even find ways how each of us can move forward.
Best,
Jessica
@@itsjessicanow hello jessica, wishing the best for you! it's never too late to be yourself and it's definitely never too late to be happy. i know things will work out for you one way or another. hope you have a nice day and a nice life. :-)
I am able to understand what she's talking about if I mimic her voice but when I try to follow the instructions I get lost. It's like the violin all over again. Mimicking the different stages of her progression has been extremely helpful to my understanding of my own progression. Thanks a billion!
So glad to hear this was helpful! Try to think less about voice like a set of instructions of things to do and more like exploration. It may help you!
Your voice is so pretty and pleasing to the ear. 🥰 I can't believe you managed to transform your voice so much! The human voice truely is incredible...
I have no clue why this was recommended for me but damn it's interesting how much your voice changed, a trans journey is something i'll never have to experience, but I wish you good luck on yours.
I’ve always wondered how people altered their voice when they were MtF, as I know trans men tend to have their voice deepen by testosterone. This was a fascinating thing to listen to, and learn about! Thank you for sharing your journey
This is insanely inspirational, I’ve been attempting to change my voice for 5 months now and I’ve been feeling like I’ve been getting nowhere. I really appreciate this video!💖
Oh my goodness, I am so so so glad that I found your channel. I just recently started coming to terms with things recently, and seeing your experience and seeing how you change from you dead voice to your current voice is inspiring! I can’t wait until I watch more of your videos!
NGL I thought I was cis when I first started watching, even told myself I just wanted to be a more well-rounded voice actor (I still do), but I took a deeper look after realizing it was...exceptionally nice to hear my voice make so much progress after watching your vids. It took a fit of tears after hearing one of my better attempts to realize I was, in fact, not cis. So...Thank you? You somehow helped me with more obstacles than I knew I needed help with.
congrats on that!
I'm so happy for you! If you go for it all the way, know it will be a tough journey, but you absolutely *deserve* to find inner peace and comfort with who you truly are. Fight for that. Good luck to you, my friend.
This is honestly beautiful and amazing. As a cis female, I can't even imagine what the journey would be like to change one's voice so completely. I really enjoyed listening to you every step of the way
Thank you! This is such a touching comment!
This is so incredibly motivating. I'm about to start my journey quite similarly to yours, only came out to myself a few months ago, about to start a 3 month tour with my band, and no idea of when I can begin my medical transition. Your videos have been so helpful over the past few weeks and this one in particular has given me so much hope for the future 💖
This has given me hope ,thank you so much. I have been having a really hard time with my dysphoria especially with my voice.
Your old voice sounds like it could be a audio book reader.

Amazing progress!

I'm pretty early in my journey and it is DAUNTING. The amount of progress you've made is simultaneously inspiring and discouraging
It really helps to see this. I recorded myself recently and I really sound like your first attempt, except a few differences - not more "passable" though, just a little different. It feels like a long journey at the same time, but really inspiring. I like that you mention that it can be fun, because that's something I hadn't really actually considered.
I feel like most people hate the sound of their own voice in general, but couple that with the dysphoria, that has to be really hard to deal with. I can't imagine the kind of work that goes into voice transition. Love the way to explain it in terms of acoustics, speech science, and music theory, definitely helped me understand a bit better.
Damn, both her voice before and after the transition are just so soothing and pleasant to listen to!
Just started voice affirming therapy and was feeling discouraged because I didn't think it would be very effective. After hearing your voice and your experience, I feel motivated now! Thank you for sharing
Wow! I’m impressed with how much work you put into your voice, and has made such a beautiful natural flowing voice. Amazing!
Fascinating. This could help the female to male detransitioners who find their voices are still very deep.
Yes absolutely.
Woman to man detransitioners. Female/Male is your sex and can't be changed.
I cant believe this wasnt witchcraft! You dont even sound like the same person in 2015, you've come so far!!!!
I've just discovered your channel because I've just started my own transition journey about a week ago. I watched a few other videos, but I'm really glad I watched this one. My voice sounds eerily like the first voice clip played, so much so that I cringed a little bit. But! That's really awesome to hear, because it's the solid proof I needed to hear that if I practice hard enough, it's absolutely something I can achieve! Thank you so much for your videos, I'm looking forward to learning all that I can on this new path I'm on 💗😊
Watching this has made me more excited for when I’m older and move out so I can start medically transitioning. Thank you so much! Genuinely! 💜🥰☺️😊💕
I'm a trans girl who hasn't started transitioning yet, I make a lot of those beginner mistakes, thank you so much for this! Xx
Glad it helps! Best of luck in your journey.
you go!!! you can do it
I am too! I hope everything goes well.

dont hold back! im 34 and JUST about to start HRT...if you know your truth, then just live your true self! i wish i took the leap of faith earlier, but i think i see a reason for everything...a big one being that i have the most understanding wife :) shes amazing so it really grounds me and lets me know my life path was all for a big reason! anyway, do you!
Your voice sounds so natural and casual in this video, it's so nice to hear! It gives me hope for my own eventual progress.
Watching you listen to yourself is delightful
You are such an incredible human, my friend. I'm so happy to see how you've grown!
This is such a touching comment. Thanks so much. I'm blessed to have known you all these years. Sending good vibes to you as always.
This isn't magic - this is knowledge and hard work, which is even more impressive.
You're so talented, and so kind to share your journey to help others.
(also... so damn beautiful 🥺💐)
Thank you! 🥺 I really appreciate your message.
I love your technical descriptions and explaining what the voice is doing while you developed it over the years. I totally get and understand the technical descriptive words you used. I’m a Producer in television and occasionally do live voice over work. I’ve always been amazed of people who has a natural “elastic voice” that can sound like anyone. Your video has demonstrated the sound of our voice is not set in stone. You have encourage me to develop the sound of my voice even more. You are doing a wonderful job with your voice and many thanks!
Very recently discovered that I'm trans (I think) and this gives me an incredible feeling of hope, I absolutely love you for everything you've done, thank you so much
Personally, I've transitioned over 8 years ago and somehow, even though I'm satisfied with my feminine voice, every now and then I catch myself involuntarily lowering my pitch and feeling horrible about how I basically just sounded like a man xD It's definitely easier when I'm reading something though... not sure why, maybe because there's less of my brain focused on what I'm gonna say and more on how I'm gonna say it?
Aww. :( i'm sorry to hear you still get those momentary bouts of vocal dysphoria. If it helps, maybe consider recording audio and reversing it. It will make it so you can't hear your identity as a speaker but you can hear how you gender it more objectively.
sending good vibes!
If It helps think about the fact that this happens to cis people too. They just never notice or think about it 3 seconds later
ur deadvoice literally just sounds like u trying to make ur voice sound deep honestly
This is the first video ive ever seen of yours but I just wanted to say that it was extremely beautiful to hear this journey and Im so happy that you are feeling more comfortable with your voice. I cant imagine how difficult it would be to be triggered by the sound of your own voice. The science behind it is also super interesting so thanks for sharing!!
Amaaaazing video!! Thank you so much for being willing to share those old recordings. You did a great job applying music theory and knowledge into your transition. Thank you for this!!
me watching all of these kind of videos as a cis female trying to sound like a normal high school girl bc i literally sound like a 10 y/o boy 😭😭: 👁👄👁 ✏️📋
You'll do great!! There are all types of people here cis, trans, women, men, nbs, bigender people, etc and we can all relate to struggling with voice and how society treats us from it. Just be sure it's what you want and not what others want for you. :)
mickey oh I mean yeah, but they’re trying to improve their voice and that’s great
mickey oh dude, this is the second comment that I see you saying the same thing. What’s is your problem which the world “cis”?.
TransVoiceLessons omg why are you like so nice and also thanks
mickey oh man, I don’t understood your response, could you reformulate your comment?
I stopped watching your videos after the larynx video, because I started college (so I had less time) but also because my college's speech and hearing clinic is giving me voice therapy for free, and I figured it would be safer for me to follow what they say (not because your advice is bad, but because then I have supervision). I have to say, your voice has improved sooo much in the last year, mainly because you aren't overshooting anymore. It's honestly amazing. Thanks for being such an inspiration.
Thanks so much! This really means a lot.
I've always enjoyed playing around with my voice and my vocal range, mainly for the purposes of dubbing, so it was a pleasant surprise for me that I found it really easy and comfortable making my voice more feminine after I came out to myself as fluid. Still, seeing how much progress you made is inspiring, and I'm sure your tips will really help me. Thanks for existing!
I love, love, love this! Thank you so much for your videos! You're a real pioneer and hero for sharing your journey and knowledge with us. I came out to myself as trans very recently and it's so exciting to find such a comfortable community that you've established here. just picked up your channel a couple days ago and can already feel myself improving! I really look forward to practicing with your exercises each day! All the best to you!
I honestly just clicked to hear the initial contrast out of curiosity. Your critique of your own development was so captivating that I had to finish.
Congratulations on everything!
As an alter in a DID system, your voice training gives me hope I can one day sound like I sound in this body's head.. I'mma pay cloooose attention to your channel. c:
I'd like to do a video on switching between voices sometime too! I think that'll help y'all. :)
@@TransVoiceLessons Tyyy hon! That wouldd be super awesome! C:
Also, our contact information is in my profile, if anyonee wants to hmu. c:
I find myself smiling and laughing in astonishment between where you started and where you've ended up. The differences is staggering, amazing work!
JESUS CHRIST
I've done about 8 months of voice work and my voice sounds exactly like your 2 month voice sounds. (My deadvoice even sounds a bunch like yours.) I guess it's refreshing to see that stuff can change, and I'm hell of learning what to do.
Now I feel confident with my progress 🙈
It's hard to retake the fact that highly skilled ppl started from the ground

Sooo glad this was helpful for you!
Z... I just wanted to say thank you... luckily I started watching you at around 15, I saved myself from SO many mistakes, from your videos. I’m 16 now, for the past 3 months I have been super unmotivated, but now I’m getting back to it. You inspire me in so many ways Z... Love you Z 😭, your videos always help, and I keep rewatching. Hopefully when I’m 17/18 and I can do a lesson with you! Your work ethic is amazing, love you Z
btw!! make an insta!!
@@HiHi-bl2np Thanks so much!! I'm sooo glad I'm able to help you. It really brings me such joy to hear from adolescent GNC people who are getting started on this stuff early. I also do have an instagram but rarely post. Here it is: instagram.com/digital.harmonic/
@@TransVoiceLessons Love your Instagram pics. You have the cutest nose. :P
I am in the exact same situation!!! Same ages and everything
Solid second of shock at the masc voice audio clip
Hearing how far your voice has come is really inspiring.
