[Guest PrincessHikari]

Wow this helps alot!

[Guest Kaitlyn16]

Oh my God... it worked. O.o THANK YOU! <3 <3 <3

[Guest Cerawmn]

I'm not sure how to use the Spectrogram but I am trying to find my tone and pitch as well as my timbre. I want so badly to sound like my true self, despite the horrors of testosterone damage. Please, would someone explain how the spectrogram works so tjat I can tell if I am dong this correctly?

I have found that my voice sounds deeper and man like on the phone and more female on the radio, I’m often confused for a woman when I’m talking to a train crew on the radio at work and of course I never correct them if they call me Mrs. It just makes me smile.

I have trouble with finding my voice as well, I do voice impersonations for fun, anything from Russell Peters, Jimmy Stewart and all the way up to the high pitch Bobcat Goldthwait. I find the female voice the hardest voice to do (and I’m horrible at it) I think the best thing to do is just keep at it and it will happen.

Trust me. It's not as hard as you think. I remember I taught my only guy bff that has a SUUPPEERRR deep voice to sound like a girl ;P. You just need the right tricks to do it.

This was so helpful I can't believe it worked! I have "tough guy" roommates so I had to drive to an empty parking lot late at night to practice. But after only 30 mins of stretching my voice I was able to figure it out! thanks a lot Chibi!

Yes it is! just about three hours drive north! There are plenty of cute and friendly guys here, they're just not my current roommates lol. Sorry for getting your hopes up, but I'm getting new roommates in a few weeks though, maybe they'll be cuter and sweeter ^-^.

[Guest Salicone]

Ooooh I'm so excited to start

[Guest Lexicat]

This is so helpful! A lot of helpful hints on this page thanks!

Ooooh I'm so excited to start

Lol! Alright. Tell everyone when you think you got your voice and let us listen to it. ;D

[Guest JenniferR]

This is by far the scariest part for me. I have worked on my voice for a while now, and while I don't think it sounds bad, I am absolutely terrified of using it while in public. Whenever I go out, I pray to god noone talks to me, asks a question or even says hi! Noone has yet, but if they did, I would probably freeze up or come off as being stuck up or something, but I'm really just scared. Has anyone else gone through this? Does anyone have any advise?

Thanks,

Jen

Haha yaaaaa. Sometimes I just act mute. LOL! But if I'm REALLY in the mood to talk then I'll do it. I like the rush LOL!!

I have no clue how to read the Frequency Analysis chart, but I am having fun with Audacity One of my quirks is that I make lots of weird noises and I like to hum to things I've never heard (and some things that I have heard). Most of my friends would list that as something unique to me:

"That is one thing I am going to miss. Whenever I was stressed or tweaking, I could talk to [her] and when I asked for an opinion, [she] would just chirp or make some weird noise and I'd realise how stupid I was being."

Anyways, I don't have a feminine voice and I couldn't get the tips to work for me (I think I am overthinking things), but I've spent most of my life contorting my throat, tongue, mouth, and voice, so when I stumble upon it, I'm sure I'll think, "Oh, that's what she meant by <<insert step here>>!"

Did you record yourself? Because even when I talk now without a record of myself I tend to think I'm not sounding right.

[Guest Zeda]

Yes, I have recorded myself Occasionally it sounds about right, but I don't usually remember how to get back to that noise. Also, the recorder I am using distorts my voice quite a bit, so I can't completely trust it.

I think it's best with an itouch/iphone/ipad. Just saying lol.

[Guest Basilo]

Ok, I may just be being derptactular here, but I can't make a gargling noise, at least as far as I am aware, I have no idea what is meant by forward and back when referring to voice, and I don't see how you can maintain a falsetto while lowering your voice...

Ur not really maintaining the falsetto ur just having the feeling. Easiest way is press your tongue against your upper teeth. And with that feeling in the back of ur throat (Should be kinda tightening) talk. That's what that is.

[Guest chibi_usa]

Check page 2 for proof that it was 2010. Lol! Ugh. I just listened to all my recordings. I learned my mistakes now and know what I did wrong. So that's good ;D

[Guest chibi_usa]

Just wanted to say. If you have step one down (Mickey Mouse) Step two is making motorcycle noises by pressing your lips together and making a pitch high then low, high and then talking. (Notes for myself)

I will compile EVERYTHING on a blog and make everything neater during the summer. I just have to be reminded.

Wow Chibi this thread is AWESOME. Thank you so very much!!!

Honestly your "voice shortcut" shown in the YouTube video, is BY FAR the best tool I have ever found to finally reach a somewhat decent female voice. And believe me, I've tried practically everything offered out there. I mean all the fem voice courses/methods out there, singing, you name it.

Of course, NOT EVERYBODY will be able to go as high as you go when you go real high before sighing (you reach a G#5, that is, about 830 Hz, which makes me think your natural voice is tenor or even high tenor, and it breaks somewhere around G#4 or even A#4). also I believe you were still a teenager, around 19 y/o when you recorded the voice shortcut, right? Ican go as high as that G#5 you do reach in the video, but I strain my vocal cords a bit. Since my voice break is at G4, I feel more comfortable going only as high as G5, and then sighing. Then I get a "girl voice" a bit similar to yours in the video, only about half a note lower as an average.

I will be honest, the main reason why I signed up to this web site, is because of THIS THREAD, how useful and insightful it is. IMO, your shortcut is MUCH BETTER and easier than CandiFla's videos because she never explains the most important thing: how to reach the female falsetto voice (the Minnie Mouse voice, as opposed to the regular male falsetto, which is the Mickey Mouse voice, which is WAY DIFFERENT in sound and quality to the female falsetto. Being able to reach a FEMALE falsetto voice is THE KEY to achieving a convincing feminine voice IMO, as opposed to just being able to reach a male falsetto voice, which requires almost no effort really.

Anyways, I signed up, I wanted to thank you for such a GREAT thread and I really hope I can be informed if you have found any other shortcuts, or uploaded any other videos with your voice reciting some passages or just talking whatever stuff, I am sure it will be really helpful for many people struggling to find their fem voice, because IMO when it comes to passing, voice is about 50% and the rest is the other half!!!

Much love
