What's A Good Voice Recorder?

[Guest Janessa]

I remember someone mentioning a voice recording software that could show me the pitch of my voice, but I completely forgot the name of the software and for some reason I've been unable to find it through google. My voice right now is just plain horrendous, so I really feel a need to work on it. >.<

Hi Janessa,

Many trans gals struggle with trying to get their voices passable and yet comfortable to use. One place to start is with the assistance of a voice spectrometer program. This free and relatively easy to use program can record and replay your voice with saveable graphs which measure pitch (hz) and waveform (breathiness). The normal female voice range is between 175 hz and 250 hz. From what I understand the target for most female voices is around 180 hz. Btw the normal male voice range is between 100 hz and 150 hz. There are numerous other voice sites on the internet, but they generally do not get into the actual measuring and visuals of the actual voice waves. With this site, you can record what you feel is an attractive voice from any source and then measure it and try to duplicate it. Voice work takes a lot of practice and determination, but being able to see measureable and immediate results is very much worth the time and effort. The program is from SIL International and is called Speech Analyzer 3.0.1 and the program is absolutely free. It is certainly worth checking out !!

Hopefully this program will help you find the voice you are looking to own.

Good Luck !! ...

In my lessons the target pitch was A3 or 220 hertz. The target range was 175 - 330 constantly with trying to reach in to the 400 Hertz range when peaking. One of the major differences between the male voice and female voice is not just with pitch. Males have a very small range and are very mono-toned. Females usually have a melodious voice.

Thankyou for your thoughtful inputs Mia.

Each and every one of us has our own perception of the ideal voice to aim for. Being able to actually measure where you are now in the Chromatic Frequency range can be a huge help to sort out the steps needed to proceed to a consistent and comfortable voice. Many sites and programs have their own specific guidelines as to what is normal or expected regarding pitch. My opinion would be to do what works for each of us as an independent person. Getting the right balance between, tone, timbre, pitch, resonance, and waveform is a unique process we all have to try to coordinate using our own voice training methods.

Whatever methods seem to work comfortably for our individual voice performance is the plan to stick with and enhance.

Practice and patience seems to be the norm for voice modifications. Usually where there is a will, there is a way !!

Hoping for your best voice possible ...

Also, a trap a lot of girls trying at first do is they bring up their pitch but they neglect the resonance. You always want your voice going up the back of your throat, through the pallet in the back (which is raised and expanded), resonating in the sinus cavities and ocular bones and out through the top of your mouth. Many I have heard will collapse that system when they close their mouths to make an 'OH' sound, but the mouth should remain cavernous.

Anyway, my little rant...
