Voice Training Before T


Guest Keane

Recommended Posts

I've seen a few (very few) videos on youtube on ways to help train your voice, but the only one i remember the guy was already on T.

Plus i went on a MTF site (i think its tsroadmap.com or something) and it said that an MTF would have to go through about 6 months of voice training..... it would probably be the same on the FTM side.

I tried out some things before (id go "ooooooooooooooooooooooo" in a deep voice for like 10 minutes a day or more when i'd get time) and it did help me get used to deepening my voice, but i stopped because a) i'm lazy/forgetful and B) my voice still had female traits, like the lips & the fluctuating of pitch that makes a voice sound female regardless of how deep it is.

So if anyone has any info about voice training, making your voice deeper, getting rid of the lisp, etc. your help would be appreciated :)

gee, i actually didn't know they did voice training for FTM's, but i'd also be interested in finding out about it..my voice is kind of on the deeper side for a female voice anyway..i wouldn't say masculine, more like androgynous..to give you an idea, male singers often sing too low for me, while most females singers sing much too high..

what do you mean about the lisp thing?

Ask Harvester 52 for some tips. I'd say he's the 'voice' of authority when it comes to pre-T masculine voice training. I've talked to him on skype and his voice is 100% male. He did say it took tons of long term training, though.

I'm in the process of making a voice training video, much requested by the folks who saw my "voice demo" video. I'll let you guys know when it's up.

I'm not sure if it's common since T changes the voice a lot, but i wont be getting T for a few years.

I don't know if it's just around here, but girls hiss on their S's alot, and the guys don't.

I've done sixty-thousand takes of my voice training video, and every time it's either too long, or the audio clips out (fuzzes because I forget to turn the gain down when I sing.)

I'm trying, guys. It'll be done as soon as it works. -curses YouTube and its evil time limit on videos.-

If your videos are over 100Mb, log in to your Youtube account, find the MyVideosUpload page, then on the right hand side, is a greyed out link for Upload files larger than 100Mb, mouse over it and click the button, it works even though you are led to think it is disabled (greyed out). The button actually says Multi-Video uploader, then click Add Videos to List and go from there.

:D

It's not the size that's the problem, it's the time. All my videos are over ten minutes. Is there something similar to allow longer video uploads?
A lot of people break their Youtube videos up, ie part 1, part 2, etc. You could try that.

Try changing your youtube account to a directors account, i don't know if that will mess anything up, you could also try splitting it into two videos, or have an alarm go off at like 9 minutes and start another video.

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.
