VIDEO OUTLINE: docs.google.com/document/d/1a...
-Basic Info
The larynx, pronounced, Lair-Enks, is the muscular, mucosal chamber which your vocal folds reside in. The position of the larynx can be altered through various muscle groups. When the larynx is raised, the vocal folds are positioned closer to the lips, which shortens the overall vocal tract length and shifts the resonances higher (creates a brighter sound). When the larynx lowers, the vocal tract extends, shifting the resonances lower (darker sound). It’s essential to use a higher larynx position when seeking to pass with a female voice.
-General Ideology
There are several ways to approach learning to alter the larynx height. Most of the best solutions all use a variation of Noise + Filter in order to hear the resonance more clearly, then trying to speak or sing using the filter setting. In the video and link there is simple infographics and audio examples to help walk you through it. The goal, at first, should be to gain control of this variable then integrate it into the process of speech once it’s properly heard, controlled, and executed.
-Common Issues:
1. Flipping into falsetto immediately
2. Altering towards a more forward tongue position instead of raising the larynx.
3. Raising too high and getting a choked or “fluttery” sound
4. Tensing the neck muscles instead of allowing the correct muscles to perform the motion
5. Squeezing the vocal folds too hard
6. Not listening
I hope this is helpful for many of you out there! I’ve seen so much confusion and struggle relating to the larynx so I hope this can illuminate some confusion. There is a lot more to know, explore, and fully digest but I wanted to keep this first video simple, clear, and easy to follow. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments below. Part 2 will contain advanced info, more ear training, and spectral data!

It's funny to me how, since this was so close to the time of my surgery, all of my /s/ and /z/ sound so weird! lol!
So do you basically keep up doing these exercises to make the feminine voice your natural voice or are there some other steps? I'm just starting with trying to make my voice sound feminine while I wait for HRT.
P.S. This may sound weird but where did you buy that top? It looks really cute and i'd really want to buy it.
Each person will require different pieces of technique. There are many other elements and even this video itself is a simplification of something larger in order to be easier to consume as a viewer (R1 movement). I will expand much deeper on all of these things once I can lay all the foundations on my channel. Just in general here are a few parameters to consider for voice: pitch, pitch contour, consonant modification, vowel modification, embouchure, nasal modification, dynamic control, glottal quotient, Most of what we do for sound can be thought of as: R1 control, R2 control, interdependence between them, the source controls (vocal fold and air stuff), and the lips. This allows us to create a female sized instrument (resonating chamber) and create the same vocal fold conditions--thus female tone. Beyond that there is further nuance in control, behavior, dynamics, consistency, etc.
:o
@@TransVoiceLessons Thanks for the reply! I know it'll be a hard journey but I feel like making my voice sound feminine would be a nice start while I wait for a visit to the GIC.
Where could i find those noises you used when you put ur phone on ur lips?
@@queenC6969 you can search brown noise or white noise on youtube
*casually trying to do this while "in the closet", whispering and sounding like I'm trying to summon some sort of minor demoness*
Little Demon Lily successfully summoned :P
Feel that, LMAO
Yeah, that sounds about right.
heat from fire, fire from heat
Same here :3
It feels like i have goten accepted into voice witch hut as a young apprentice and shes teaching me her magic.
Thank you so much for this sis
That's sooo funny! My Patreon server is, "The Witches Coven" haha. I live for comments like these. Welcome to the magic circle, sis.
I just did what i consider a girl voice and honestly i'm so estatic. Bless you so much ahaha i have so much power now.
YAY! That's so wonderful.
Same, it scared me a bit, I mean how can this be possible 😟😨
Teach me pls. I watched the video but i didnt understand.
@@antr9238 She did, that's the video lol...
SAME IM SO HAPPY
Finally, a tutorial on vocal feminisation that isn't just a person throwing a bunch of buzzwords at you in hopes that you understand.
I really love the fact that you break down the science of the human voice and give us a straightforward exercise that we can easily follow. I know it's only the second episode but I feel like I'm already making progress.
I think the best part about this is that it's free. I'm in a less than ideal financial situation right now so the fact that high quality and informative content like this is free really helps.
I'll be eager to see the next installment of this. You're doing amazing work sis!
What are buzzwords ?
@@aidenvaresi9621 they are like "try moving the Sound around" "speak like the french would" stuff like that
@@marflow8791 just speak like a french person from a dutch colony during 1765 being frustrated while trying to find directions would.
LL lllkkkkkkkkkk
Let's forget the science broken down. Four years later, what are the results?....
Honestly that neutral position voice is goaallllls
was thinking the same. it was so beautiful.
yep
you are a MTF trans voice training GODDESS.
Honestly cried because my voice became so much easier to control. I don’t make my throat tense anymore, I really got emotional over this experience because I finally understand how to control my larynx... thanks so much, you’re truly kind and amazing :)
Dylan Boyd it’s funny because when I was younger I did “girl trolling voice” and that’s when I started practicing but at the time it was just a joke with friends. It was practice for 4 years secretly because I really wanted to be a girl. Now it’s my normal voice.
Do this method really work??
me too
i want to make a yt vidio confersation but i dont have any female voice
now ill do it myself
I'm not transgender, but I am trying to be a voice actor, and larynx control for different voices was kicking my ass. This helps, thanks!
*posts the most useful and valuable series of videos on voice feminization on CZcams*
*somehow only gets 18k views*
I think its becuz there are not as much people with gender disorders as there are people watching pewdiepie
@@PeacefulAmphibian disorders?
Up to 169k views a year later!
@@PeacefulAmphibian gender disorder is not a thing lol
@@zniawatch1222 then is being trans normal
Hamon: breatheing technique
Trans voice training: breathing technique
Conclusion: trans people are jojo characters.
I was thinking of Dio the whole time I was trying the whisper, even before she mentioned vampires
When she said do a Vampire noice I was about to do a wryyyyy
when the whole lgbt community is a jojo reference
Now we are at the breathing wait til we get to the spin lol
I reject my masculinity, JoJo!
I just did a femme voice for the first time ever. You're a goddess girl.
yayyyyyyy
how long did you take?
@@TransVoiceLessons I'm a girl with deep voice will this improve my voice
Im trying so hard and have rewatched like 50 times but im struggling, but I have faith
And how I "hold" the swallowing?
@@megustaelpan1527 don't do that it's temporary, not very effective, and can be unsafe. Try getting your false vocal folds to retract, combined with rasing pitch your R1/larynx should he high already. If I'm not mistaken.
So believe it or not I teach people how to do metal screams and a lot of this is really, really applicable and valuable. I've learned a lot from this video, especially the white noise example. Thank you!
Sorry but it's not white noise. It is pink noise. White noise is all frequencies. Pink noise is only audio frequencies.
@@sarenabarrett7929 no..? The difference between white noise and pink noise is the amplitude slope
@@cloyun-hee9564 Exactly. Pink noise is the white noise while the amplitude is decreased in the spectrum by 3dB/octave. (From low freqs to highs).
I thought screaming made your voice more raspy and harder sounded. If you wanna sound soft dont scream
@@celavie8499 Nope healthy screaming doesn't affect your voice outside of the scream as long as you're doing it right. Another thing that this video reminds me of is Tuvan Throat singing and the things I learned from learning to do that
The breathing is actually SUPER helpful
Hi there, I'm a young trans girl who's sort of just starting to socially transition, and now I'm trying to do voice. The problem is, i just really don't understand most of the videos i watch and struggle to replicate what they do. I feel like I'm just being dumb right now, but i just really don't understand too well. I feel like my voice is pretty femme when i go into head-voice though and currently I'm just trying to practice getting used to using it by singing. I feel like I'm making progress, but i just wish i understood all this stuff. Keep up your good work though, you're helping lots of other trans people just like me.
nice profile pic hehehe
I too am just like you
@@PeacefulAmphibian Oh, and me! I'm with y'all!
you're not alone. when i try this i just sound like my male self talking in a nasal tone, none of the beautiful high girly sound she makes. So theres probably something we both are missing. Guess thats what the paid courses are for. ;) Best get a real voice trainer because if you teach yourself by getting it wrong its really hard to unlearn, jt like when you learn a language and get pronounciation wrong in the beginning. A friend of mine still pronounces "shape" as 'chape' 30 years out of high school english class ;)
"Yeah I think I'm probably not trans, I don't actually hate my body..."
*inordinate amount of glee over like a split second of sounding at all feminine*
...huh.
egg_irl
Still cis tho
No one’s to say :)
Y'know, let's just bottle that up. I'm sure it will never come up again. Nope. Never. /S
@@shempai1166 pffffff hahaha
So, I’m not trans but as an androgynous guy I feel like it could be cool to learn how to do this.
Just wait a couple months...
(jk, but only half)
Everyone in the comments having a feminine voice while I’m just sitting here sounding like mickey mouse.
I may not sound female, but atleast i can imitate a smurf!
@@KFP_Prophet I can imitate Darth Vader, turns out making the R1 deeper is incredibly easier than making it higher :/
Problem is, what to do in such case
I must say I learn more in with 13 min of you playing with your larynx than with 3 or 4 hours of videos about pitch and falseto. Please keep doing what you do. You're awsome, finaly someone who understand what she teachs.
Oh my god, I was really anticipating the day you would continue the series, the first already blew away anything else out there, but this... You managed to get every single aspect of the video straight on point, the looks, the sound of it, infographics, scenery, and, most importantly, the actual content, which is BEYOND what I've ever seen, heard, or read anywhere out on the internet. it doesn't feel like an informative video from someone with 5K subscribers, it feels more like a really high-quality production by a big company. Thank you so much for being around and sharing your knowledge in such a unique and helpful way with all of us, you clearly have the perfect skillset to make stuff like this, and I hope that you are able to get a larger following base, you not only deserve it but also basically every Transwoman out there struggling with their voice would immensely benefit from your videos, as almost every other video out there on this topic is more a overview or a story than a tutorial.
Thank you SO much, seriously. This comment has totally made my day. When I sought out to make this video I really wanted to create a, "Gesamtkunstwerk" (total work of art). That will continue to be my style. I'm really happy with how the interludes of my soul music play against the video. I finally see a great way to combine my passion for music with my passion for voice education! Do them both at the same time! Haha.
I am so flattered by your wonderful words. While I may just be one individual, my service TransVoiceLessons has grown quite massive. I'm booked up until November for lessons at this point and I'm starting my company: Internal Bioacoustics. I really want to change the way the world interacts and understands what "voice" is. I'm blessed to be able to help other transpeople heal their dysphoria and self actualize.
this reply is all over the place but I just wanted to get some thoughts off about what you said.
@@TransVoiceLessons That is brilliant, to see once in a while a passion project of someone with real talent work out. I am one of the people who believe that in order to learn something it is immensely important to understand the underlying principles and not just apply pre-determined techniques without knowing why they work, because if you do that and you ever find yourself stuck with a problem, chances are you have no idea how to solve it. And that is what makes your channel so different, you don't just say "do this and then that will happen", you explain "This is how that part works, this is a general principle that applies to everything, so we can exploit it in this way by doing that.".
Two more things, until you talked about your FFS, I still wasn't sure if you were cis or trans, I just couldn't tell. Seeing those amazing results gives me a lot of confidence as I believe that the voice is what makes or breaks your ability to pass, and I wouldn't have guessed in a million years that you were trans.
Then also, your English is absolutely flawless, I thought you were a native speaker and couldn't hear an accent (and I am german myself), so ein gutes Englisch habe ich selten von jemand Deutschem gehört. Gesamtkunstwerk is a very fitting word, it definitely shows where you put in little details, the short music at the right places, the overall color scheme and art style, layout, structure, everything fits together like a charm.
Keep up the amazing work, I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for the next part in the series!
thanks so much, im ftm and even though this is directed at people wanting a feminine voice, its really informative and can absolutely be applied the other way around with a bit of effort.
@@JJ-ec9lp when shes doing the breathing thing, going from low to high pitch, just go from high to low instead and do the rest the same.
Sorry if that comment comes across as rude, but as someone who is obsessed with synthesizers this is like the COOLEST way to learn this stuff. Filtering white noise? That's already my hobby lol
I don't really know what led me here, but thanks for a scientific breakdown of how vocals work.
I am now going to train my female voice to troll my friends, since I'm not a trans myself.
I just have to say that this series is ridiculously well done.
Have you cracked yet?
it's ironic cuz this is exactly what happened to me 😂
"Time is too precious to spend in fear of our own voices." ... that line really got me, but it's worth mentioning here regardless. Let's hope everybody can achieve the voice (and the confidence to wield it) in which ever way they'd prefer!
yes, yes, yes, yeeeees, I've waited so long for this, thank you!!
Thank you so much for your support!
When you suddenly go from breath into "heat from fire fire from heat" I feel like you are an RPG character who powered up and unleashed their special move. I love it!
Turns out I have a natural talent for moving my throat muscles. I can even make a weird sound no one else can do.
A good skill to have!
6:10 (whole exercise)
And 6:59 (fluid version)
I sound like a cartoon character when I actually get to the speaking part. It's quite painful to struggle with this for so long and find nothing that helps you actually progress :c
@@AdaChanDesu Same, i have the same problem
One of my female trans friends said that they loved your videos and just using them in reverse works really well for voice masculisation for me :)
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.
I've been transitioning for about 5 years and I've neglected going thru voice training up until now. My voice (and stubble >->) are one of the main things that consistently get me clocked, so honestly, thank you so much for all these videos. Bless you.
I tried raising my larynx on and off, had some trouble but after this I finally made it!
Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! You really helped me out to understand how it really works! You're a lifesaver and I hope you can help everyone else out there! :)
Emilia: thanks for this. this is something that I can understand and work with. I commented on the last video and clarified that I’m a female headmate.
Jon: We only have experience with accents and that’s way more mouth based than throat based. For clarification, I’m one of her headmates helping her out with this.
This video triggered a breakthrough for me last night and I’m so happy. Turns out I was overdoing the R1 resonance and tensing up way too much. Once I fixed that and could focus on weight and R2, holy moly. Thank you 🙏
I am honestly astonished at how drastically the difference was just mimicing this while watching the video.
oh my god when you first dropped you voice i JUMPED
Thank you for this blessing of a video. I didn’t use it, but my girlfriend did and I don’t think I’ve ever seen her this happy. You really made a difference for her and she’s so excited. This is magic.
I really cannot thank you enough. I looked at so many trans voice videos that gave me 0 understanding.. LEGIT 0. You have changed my life completely. I owe my practice and my voice to you .You're so amazing.
I stopped my transition a good few years ago... for a few reasons but one was that i was under the impression that there really wasn't anything i could do about my voice, that if i were to sound female it would always sound fake. I've got a bit of vocal work experience and in a 14 minute video you just completely smashed my understanding of the voice. I... I dunno if i'll go back to a full transition but... this still is a comfort to me. so thank you. for this work you do.
2:29 that actually helped me a lot. It feels quite similar to what I do when throat singing, so it was easier to adjust from that
I've watched countless videos trying to understand the fundamentals of vocal feminization and this was the one that helped me unlock it. What helped the was the "hah" sound exercise. I opened audacity and started trying it because I couldn't quite tell how things sounded. After a few tries I could barely recognize my voice in a good way. Lots of work to do still but I feel like major progress has been made. Thank you so much for making this information publicly available. You're awesome!
So well done. Amazing teaching. I like the trouble shooting, clarifies a lot of details. BTW the jazz chords in the background, so hip💕
I love how you went from dunce voice to traditional woman voice right away.
And you are so kind in this video! You have never been mean, but it's so great!
I just had recent surgery on my vocal fold. The other was paralyzed for years due to previous surgery. My recent surgeon told me to find the level where the paralyzed one is now at and maintain talking on that level. I was used to talking in a low register and he wants me now to speak in a higher register. I have trouble finding it until I saw this video on my suggestion list. oh wow, this video really helped me a lot and I just tried it today! THANK YOU SO MUCH

I do encourage playing that game with water, then you’ll be well hydrated and ready for voice training!
@@TransVoiceLessons You're so adorable :)
@@TransVoiceLessons Is hydration a huge factor in sounding more feminine.
@@kristyanne719 Isnt she😍😍😍
@@celavie8499 anything with your vocal folds and making sound and stuff just generally works better while hydrated. Drink up!
This is the most understandable tutorial. I knew you would release it eventually
This one was great, I can feel the larynx moving! After a few tries I start to get a lump in my throat. I know this is due to the muscles getting a workout, but at what point is it saying take a break!
Thanks for all your guidance, I love the scientific approach you do!
I am absolutely blown away how effortlessly I just saw you go from low to high pitch. I will watch and practice until I learn this magic!
Each of these videos are helping me regain the ability to feel and act like myself. Thank you _so_ much for putting in the time and effort to record, edit, *_and_* upload each one!
Your method is really effective! I didn't know how to move only the larynx, and it felt like untangling a bundle of wires isolating the right muscles, but I did it before the video was over! Thank you so much!
I am a cis maie tenor struggling to add A4 to C5 in mixed voice. A major block has been my inability to differentiate between the raised versus tilted larynx positions experientially. By following the steps in your lesson I was able to produce a respectable soprano tone in that range. Not my goal of course but doing so helped me differentiate between the two, first by sound and then by feel. So thank you, thank you, thank you! .
finally a tutorial that explains what "now raise your adamsapple even means"
im not trans or anything but these videos are really entertaining and im glad that you have this "savespace" for trans people to just be themselves. keep up the good work and happy extended pride month yall🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

I really love this _whole_ line of videos. the way you describe and teach things clicks so well for someone who already plays music and understands musical concepts, making these probably the richest and most informative videos out there.
This guide is absolute fantastic. Wish my voice would allow me to go as high as you :( Instead I just sound like I'm "putting on a high voice" thus making my problem worse.
just a cis guy, but im studying speech patterns and phonology as through a sociological lens and i absolutely love your channel! plus now I have something to show anyone trying to say that my field "doesn't have real applications out in the world". keep up the good work!
an added note: I'm planning to work with accent neutralization (I'm a non-native english speaker with a reasonably "passing" accent), and while it's obviously not directly comparable I think there's a lot of overlap, and stuff like the mantra phrase etc can also be really useful in this.
years and years and i finally found it. thank you so much ❤️ i’ll recommended this
You really know what you are talking about and know how to share. Thank you!
Oh my god oh my god!!! Definitely practice with white or brown noise! I've been working on this for months with just my breath, but I just tried with the artificial noise and saw an immediate improvement. Thank you!! ❤❤❤
I love how you're doing the music ambience, coloring the video and guiding attention. Also, your visual design is really nice and concise.
literally perfect timing on this (just starting to look into transitioning and you are by far the most informative and easy to understand) thank you so much for all the work you put into this, you're helping a lot of people
This is a great resource! My voice seems really quick to choke out, but I feel like I'm progressing already! Thank you so much for this!!
That guide was absolutely fantastic I’ve always had trouble getting the proper sound I was looking for and I can clearly hear it now thank you so much!!
Love love love the vid so much!! The troubleshooting section is absolutely amazing and so valuable. Going to take me a long time to watch and rewatch this before I can internalize it all. Tysm!!
These videos are so helpful! Feminizing my voice feels like one of the most daunting aspects of my life right now and your videos have been so crucial to the progress I am making. Thanks so much.
your steps have already really helped me and my voice dysphoria, i'm gonna train myself more on it, but for once i can listen to my own voice without wanting to cringe really bad, i'm also gonna have one of my best friends listen to the audio clip i sent her with the feminine voice and ask her how she feels about it
Do this method really work?
I love that whenever I watch your videos there is an add that is about learning guitar and the guy is playing “enter sandman”
I’m working on it, mines always been on the neutral side but this is everything, and honestly it’s such a huge help
Darling, this video is spectacular and I cannot wait to see what else you have to share with the rest of the community! I've been practicing for more than a year, and even after going to speech therapy my progress has been...insufficient, let's say. This alone called me out on no less than three bad habits, and by the end I had produced a sound that made me weep with joy. You are a gift to the world. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
That truly means a lot! I can't wait to help you further.
I been trying for years and my throat dam me.. meny videos and how would I know if this is like every others? Do this method really work are they evidence?
This is so useful, sending this one to my friend who is new to voice training
Lovely! I hope it helps her.
3 years old, the very last video of the series that I watched, and this video still helped me immensely. Specifically it helped me pull out the larynx control, disengage it my r1 movements more from I think my r2. I can feel it in the way my strain went from 3/10 to 1/10, in the way my resonance isn't so tightly tied to the way I was shaping my vowels, and in the way that it actually sounds more cleanly feminine even without considering vocal weight. So thank you for approaching the topic from so many different directions with so many clean examples.
I am feeling the burn! What a great workout! Thanks for being so wonderful, positive, and informative.
I'm very early in my process, haven't come out as trans yet to anyone, only accepted it myself a few months ago really. But wow you are such an inspiration and I already feel so much more confident that I can one day come out and start my transition. Thank you so much for doing this work for the community! Much love
OMG!.. that was the most heartfelt I Love You ever! 😭❤️️
The instruction was ok too. 😂😁 jk this was so helpful, thank you Z!
This was so helpful. The way you explain things is incredible! Love you, you video ❤️
I wish I had've found your channel months ago, but now I have, I can't wait to practice what your are teaching, I've finally found something useful, I love your voice and you make me smile just listening to you, thanks for making these videos, much love
I've started transitioning about 1,5 years ago. Actually went to a gender voice therapist the first few months. But it got nowhere. And I've developed massive voice dysphoria to the point I don't really talk at all outdoors. This is day 3 of me trying again and this is the first video I really understood. The exercises are greatly simplified. Which I just love. I hope you'll do more video's like this (I'll look at your channel more thoroughly once I feel I've mastered this a bit.) I'm Dutch myself. But I feel like I sound much smoother and use different parts of my mouth when I speak English. It's a bit higher pitched as well. Would it be weird to practice this in English? Or should I stick to my more masc Dutch voice? Thanks for this so far!
The reply is a bit late but oh well XD
Different languages use different parts of the throat and mouth for most of their sounds. For example I can speak both German and Russian and I have a deeper voice when speaking russian as well. You could try speaking Dutch with an English accent as an experiment. It will sound weird as hell but also less masc
@@TheVladdracula1 Haha, thanks for your reply. I've since started seeing a new voice therapist. And I'm slowly making progress now. ^^
@@jaina.o1108 oh that's good news I'm happy for you!
you are so beautiful and the way you “handle” the voice is astonishing, i’d never think you’re trans. good luck and all the love from a russian cis gal
I love it , i have to get glued to those videos for years
Thank you SO MUCH!
Excellent video but at 3 minuets in you said "anything thing that goes in there... SOUND wise" which made me laugh for the better half of 5 minuets
I CANT STOP GOING INTO MY FALSETTO 😭😭 someone please help I’ve watched all these videos like a million times, : - (
thank you so much for this Zheanna, this exercise is really helping me out with my voice and in the past few days I've managed to make it part of my daily routine
This video by far has helped so much. I've been struggling with this specific part of voice feminising. You're a life saver thank you
I'm pretty sure I talk for everyone by saying we've been waiting so long for this :p
I’m a cis chick with a very high pitched voice so I’ve got no use for this advice but it’s so fascinating and well described that I can’t stop watching it @-@
Cool! Welcome! Technically you could use these techniques to sound like a child! Cause further reduction of the AFAB vocal tract ends up at childsize. I can do it too! lol.
you could also go lower?
You are legitimately a hero for this series. It's so useful. No really probably the most useful Voice Feminization video I've come across. Thank you!
OMG I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH! you've given me SO MUCH JOY!
Its 10pm, and I sound like a dying animal lol
you're a hero
Wow, this is a lot more helpful then most of the other videos I have seen, thank you not only for the lessons but, for the information in general.
Thank you so much for doing these lessons! I'm struggling trying to find my voice, but I'm early in transition, and these videos are helping so much~
Quick question - I've got the resonance and pitch down but I still think I sound rather masculine / more like a 13 year old boy than a girl ;w;
Angel then you are most likely squeezing and addicting the folds too hard which causes a boyish quality. The behavior of the vocal folds is a heavily sexed feature as well. If your certain resonance sounds fine but it still sounds bad, it’s 99% glottis related. Chances are your spectral tilt is too flat ;0
I really appreciate you doing this for us. :) You look great, too btw ^-^
I've just started voice training, and this is helping me so much!
Ooh I love you and your beautiful brain and the way you’re approaching this, it’s fabulous! Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for this Zheanna
This is honestly so sweet and touching! Thank you, Katherine!
I just spent an embarrassingly long period of time with a phone speaker playing noise into my mouth. Reminded me of old school voice synthesis.
YES! I love this comment so much. Noise is the ----ultimate---- tool for learning resonance alterations.
I think thanks to your videos and practicing i'm getting closer to my goal. I've also tried singing and actually enjoyed a lot just hearing myself.
Thank you!!
I literally cannot express how much i love this.
Hey I have a question. So I’m almost 16, and I have a pretty high bc I KNEW from day one I need to start raising it. I watched a video of how you go from “haw” to “ha”, and when I breathe the “ha” I feel like I’m straining, or even when I’m not straining and I’m relaxed, it’s literally a mini squeak, but it doesn’t hurt. Do I try to talk in that squeak? My goal is basically maintaining a high voice and maybe making it higher. Thank you so much for everything you helped me, you’re such an inspiration 😭😭❤️ EDIT: sometimes when I talk in the voice I do that, I don’t take too much breath, I don’t know how to explain, I’d appreciate if you can respond
