Trans Voice: Raising the Pitch Safely
Vložit

- In this video I’ll show you how to find a comfortable higher part of your pitch range without fatigue or tension in the voice.
Contrary to popular belief, pitch isn’t the most important part of your voice journey. However, if you change resonance significantly and leave pitch behind, you start to sound unnatural.
And for some, raising pitch is a goal, which is valid.
Many times when trying to speak with a higher voice, people just jump to the highest pitch they can do. But the voice quickly tires out and can sound strained.
The pitch of your voice is controlled by muscles and like all muscles, if you want to lift heavy you have to train and build up strength over time.
To speak with a higher pitch, you need to find a comfortable relaxed pitch to start from. Here's how:
Say an agreeable Mm-Hm. The Hm of that Mm-Hm is the part of your upper range that’s easiest to safely start speaking from.
Let the hmmm transition into actual words Mm-Hmmmm-Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday.
That's WHAT pitch you can safely and comfortably start speaking in.
If you want more info on HOW to expand your range even higher and find a brighter resonance to match, comment “pitch” below and I’ll reach out with resources and next steps!

I'm female but I get mistaken as a man when I'm on calls or voice chat and I get bullied a lot because of it 😭. I hope this helps me.
That's super frustrating. A lot of my videos will help you find a higher, brighter, lighter voice. There's even one for maintaining that voice on the phone if you search the channel!
Omg same, I have been said rudely that I sounded like a man 😢😢😂😂
I'm a cis female but I continually get asked if I'm a smoker because of my husky and quite deep voice. Thank you for your videos, I'll continue to practice
Happy to help!!
I just tried this after playing guitar and singing for my friends and holy crap, that helps so much.

Good! Thank you! Teri
Thank you for this lessons
You are very welcome ❤️
pitch i think is what ive been missing this whole time but im not sure because i get read as a girl on phone or in person but its that giant muscle in the back that if a girl wants to scream at the top of her lungs, im guessing literally squeezing the lungs at the "top"meanwhile the throat feels like it closing up if i go high which makes it hard to project as well i believe. so if i do pitch only, 30 minutes a day every day i can have a pitch change? lol and if so are there any more lessons
So pitch is definitely a good area to focus IF you've already mastered your resonance work. Here's a video about projecting the voice: czcams.com/video/NO0zjxq17W4/video.html
I’m a trans girl that is 15, istg I can’t get rid of the buzzing from my deep ass voice whenever I try these warm ups. I don’t know what’s wrong with my vocal cords but it won’t go away
vocal fry
if you haven’t, you might want to look into reducing vocal weight? there are some really great videos on this, the youtuber transvoicelessons (if you somehow haven’t seen anything from her yet) has some good videos about getting a “lighter” sound without buzzing. hope this helps
Thanks ❤
You're VERY welcome :)
awesome this helps for voice acting myself cause I cant afford one
Thank you
You're VERY welcome!
Pitch! I would love some resources! :)
Awesome! Are you looking for more of the do it yourself, free CZcams type resources, or a structured program with set exercises and coaching/feedback?
how do you keep your voice from naturally going back down?
For how long should I train in everyday?
Does this work in reverse for lowering pitch? i.e. holding the beginning lower part of the "mhm"?
the mm of the mm-hm is going to be where you’re currently speaking. To lower the pitch instead of an agreeable mm-hm, say a disagreeable mm-mm or uh-uh, the second sound should lower!

(Can I do this before turning trans; Will it help?)
I think my muscle are broke, I do the mhm's go to words and straight back to original voice - Back to saving for a glottoplasty I guess :(

Cis female with a high pitched voice but I wanna sound like an anime girly😜
Ooh. Maybe with this, I can reclaim what puberty took from me. My ability to mimic a cuckcoo bird perfectly. Never got the chance to save or record it... :/ I really miss that ability. Even through my voice is biologically supposed to deepen naturally since I'm a boy.
