voice training 🥺

Why doesn't she- the bigger one- not simply eat the other one?

Oh, she does? Perhaps humans are more ruthless than I thought.

So ruthless sometimes the smaller one eats the bigger one
Humans are strange, not bad, but they have a lot of things they need to get over.

Mann I really wanna try to voice train but hearing my own voice regularly is already kinda embarrassing, let alone trying to do new things with it

If you find your current voice embarrassing, then your new voice can only be better 👍😁
Are you any good at impersonations? You could always pick a woman who's voice you like and copy them. I have a friend who did that. She dramatically changed her accent, which was weird but she also definitely sounds feminine.
- Sadly I'm terrible at impressions, and I hate trying to do them because I feel like I always embarrass myself even when I'm alone 😅

I can't wait to be finished with my SLT apprenticeship to be able to give voice training to trans folk :) It's also on our curriculum for our voice therapy classes - looking forward to it.

Only thing I don't know right now is if I'll be able to give tips to transfem as a cis male. Maybe with sufficient experience or advanced training courses

As someone who has looked into voice training a lot, at least the basic ideas I'm sure you can. None of it is necessarily specific to transfems and I would assume all the mechanisms behind feminizing your voice will be covered. The part that people might ask about that's more specific is probably which parts are most important for being recognized as feminine (and the answer from what I gathered is kinda just "it's complicated but it's not just pitch").
- what I gathered is kinda just “it’s complicated but it’s not just pitch”).
  i'm a musician, so this is the way i think of it: men sound like woodwinds, women sound like strings. sometimes the pitches overlap, but usually women are an octave higher. if you start as a lyric soprano and can stretch yourself down to alto, or as a bass stretching yourself up to a tenor, you can get the rest of the way to "passing" just by changing your tone and cadence.

The only voice training I need to hear is how loud you can howl >:3

Wait there's people who might like that I don't voice train?

I like cuties as they are, with deep voices or perfectly fem passing ones. It's not a major factor for me.
- Well I've got one of those
Deep-voiced women 🤤
- I get self conscious about my voice because I did vocal training in my youth to deepen my voice. I'm not sure if I could train it to be more feminine at all
yeah there's people like me. i mean i'm taken, but i know we exist
