Finding Your Female Voice

OK, so the Voice Survival Pack from Deep Stealth came in the mail a week (more or less) ago. I've checked out the DVD a couple times and printed out the workbook, but with all that PLUS the spectrogram exercises and audio CD... I'm overwhelmed!

TO THOSE THAT HAVE USED IT:

Where do I start? Do you have any tips? All I've gotten through so far is a bunch of stuff where it sounds like I'm clearing my throat and... uhh... somewhere around the part where she tries to help you find your falsetto voice... And about that, any tips on finding that point in my voice range? I'm a chain smoker (smoked since I was 12) and while I've been told that I could have a beautiful singing voice if I were given lessons, I can't sing!!

Please, please, please help!!!!!

HUGGS TO ALL

Belle

P.S. Lizzy, if you prefer, feel free to PM me your thoughts/advice. I'm going to send you a PM now directing you to this topic post so I don't have to retype it all to you.

Go to the CD and get a good set of headphones - go to exercises 29 and above. That is the really useful part. Up to that part it is just practicing to reach the area in the thoat that is needing to be reawakened. Yawn really deep - that's where it is. Do the tight-then-soft exercises. They do work - but listen to the inflections too - even with the vowel exercises - she is using a female voice that you want. Note the emphatic closing of the syllables.

Hope this helps - we can talk on this too.

Oh, Dear.....

Honey.....Please, PLEASE find a way to quit....

You CANNOT smoke while on HRT...

Estrogen has ways of causing DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and smoking increases the chance of getting it dramatically!

I care....

Hi Belle,

I found from exercise 10 to 20 are good to warm up and get me to the falsetto, after that, exercises from 21 to 43 are good after I manage to have the falsetto and resonance.

The main thing from the exercise is to let the voice go up to the falsetto and come down (but still above the throat) to reach the female resonance. I feel like the female resonance is using a more higher part of the throat muscles and focus the voice higher....like most people say like a head voice. Also, relax your throat and not squeezing out your voice seems much more easier and more natural. In addition, control the air flow helps a lot to control the voice in a manageable manner. Its will takes a while to kick in and let your brain to reuse that part of your throat. Hope this help.

No worries, DJ, I'm quitting smoking THIS MONTH! I haven't scheduled my appt yet, but I'll be going to the doctor soon to get on that Chantix stuff. I've heard that it works well, so long as you can handle the side-effects and you KEEP TAKING IT! I'll be on it for as long as necessary. I quit drinking, smoking pot... now it's time to quit my MAIN crutch... cigarettes!!

And I know you care :)

I wanna get that. Right now it would be too terrified to try it. Brother is always home or ready to barge in at any minute and mom is here when she gets home. I know I know I'm a chikin lol. I will be getting it as soon as I have a job, probably the first thing I buy since I might as well get my voice down to a science lol. Guess I need to gather up the courage eh?

Stopping smoking pot is really hard since it's around me all the time. I commend you on that. I screwed up and got some today.

I just got it today, and I am wondering what lesson plan I should start on. I have done alot of stage acting, and singing, so I am very familiar with throat muscle control, chest vs. stomach breathing, voice projecting, etc.

Hi Belle,

I was inspired this week at the local TS support group. About a half-dozen of the girls were talking, so easily that I never imagined they weren't using their natural voices. At some point, the group got around to talking about voice and each of them demonstrated their old voice. What a shock!

So, I just ordered the Deep Stealth kit myself. Thanks for the inspiration too!

My voice is the thing that stands between me and transition. I don't know when I'll get to practice - can't at home. I have a long road trip coming up - 12 hours of driving. I'll get some good use of the time, We'll see after that...

Thank you Lizzie also for the helpful comments.

Love, Kat

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
