Good way to fix your voice if your not sure (Must have an xbox)

[Guest chibi_usa]

This is soooo much better then a phone because you get 11 people telling you how you sound.

Ahaha I guess it won't work that well for older people because you would actually have to play games for this to work. However through xbox live I play a game called

-Call of Duty

Through there I play a game that makes it so you HAVE to be in game chat.

After that I do my voice and talk to people.

The first time I did this, many people told me I sounded trans and made fun of me. HOWEVER even if they make fun of you don't worry. There were actually a lot of people that thought it was funny and tried helping me so that we could prank other people. Of course none of the people know about me but they always give me advice to perfect my voice for their own amusement. In my opinion I think it's much better then asking friends to listen to your voice because

1. You have to see them. On xbox it's just like a phone

2. Their your friends. They'll try to be nicer and lenient for you

On xbox, the people are VERY VERY VERY VERY mean. But if your a girl, they'll be extremely nice. <3

Anyways I started on August. Now it's December. Even though I already had my girl voice along time ago, I was wayyy to shy and embarassed to talk to people in my voice and I still am. Also I was not able to do my girl voice quickly. I had to warm up before I could do it. . But thanks to xbox live I have learned how to switch my voice in a matter of seconds without warming up.

As long as your strong and don't give up when they tell you--- Ohhhh you sound like a crossdresser, Transgender, man, (very very very Hurtful comments). You'll succeed. Even now I get called a guy (Because apparently only guys play xbox so they think I'm a little boy) But they still give me advice. For some of them just tell them your trying to sound like a girl to prank other people. Guaranteed you'll make friends and they'll give you advice. The bois love to prank other guys. XD Stupid bois. <3

[Guest Jo-88]

lol well thats one approach I guess, glad it worked for you.

[Guest Hayleylady94]

I have an xbox, and you're so brave for doing it on Call of Duty. That game is full of mean people.

However, this sounds like a really good way to get feedback. Whenever I learn to start working on my voice, this is the method I'll use. Thanks!

[Guest Jo-88]

yes very clever indeed

Ahaha how's it brave? XD No one knows who you are. All they can do is talk bad about you. And then you never meet them again or you can just block them. However, outside of xbox (Real world) It can spread, like schools, neighbors, friends, and then they talk behind your back. So I perefer to perfect things in private (If possible). For example- if you were gonna try to pass might as well drive an hr away and go to stores. They call you mam. Yay! sir. Boo. Obviously this isn't as good though because some people would just know your MtF and just say mam to be polite. -__-"".

I feel kinda bad saying this but I kinda stopped trusting friends opinions with my looks and voice. Don't get me wrong! With other stuff I totally trust but they just say what I want to hear and in my opinion, I always like blunt even if it hurts my feelings. ;P So meaner people+observant pplz=best pplz to test it out on. ;D

[Guest Zeda]

Wow, that is actually a pretty excellent way of doing it o_o I don't have anything but old handheld gaming systems, so I cannot exactly do this. I bet that if you happen to be rather excellent at COD, you can just outright say that you are trans and they'll be in awe of your awesome bravery+skills. I have never played, but I imagine that there is a power dynamic where the best players are quite respected.

Ahaha nooooooo nooottt a good idea. XD They'll make more fun of you. They'd be saying along the lines of- Oh wow! That's why your so good at this game? You got no friends cuz ur trans! You got no life cuz you play all day.

I know this is because that's almost the exact same line they said to me. -__-""

[Guest Lucie]

I'm gonna try that. I own black ops 2 on Wii U and there isn't too many mean people. For now I'll just hum a song so my voice gets better.

Haha I always hum on xbox. It's become a bad habbit of mine. I just talk and then when it's quiet I randomly hum because I start feeling like my voice is getting deeper. It's a "tester" thing. It's weird. Lol!

o.o Then I guess it is a good thing that I don't play that stuff o.o

[Guest Sarah Faith]

Wow Chibi you are wayyyyy braver than I.. I did something kinda like that by using ventrilo in World of Warcraft and SWTOR with my guilds and even then I always have been decent with doing funny voices for fun so developing my female voice wasn't too bad. But practicing via call of duty, that would have been totally confidence busting for me when I was just starting out some of those people are soooo brutally vicious!

But good for you none the less! Unfortunately my Xbox live name was one I selected before I was out of the closet with most of my rl friends, so.. It's still pretty masculine and would just beg people on XBL to assault me with annoying questions. lol. I don't setup a new one because... sadly I don't want to lose my achievements!....

What is ventrilo? O.o. Anywayssss my xbox account is very very very manly. My friend gave it to me. It was Randy0706 <<<Is that not masculine name? LOL! And people would always make fun of me! D; However. I'm actually VERY glad that I started with a boy account. Because with this very masculine name (I'm just makiing up statistics but just so you know) 10% said girlmale(The more offensive term)/trans/whatever offensive name u can think of. 40% said are you a boy or a girl? 50% said OMG OMG OMG IT'S A GIRL LET'S ADD HER/Message her perverted stuff. -__-"" Pervs. Lol! Anyways yup. You get the point. Having a masculine name account is the best to prepare yourself for the outside world. ;P

Masculine Name- Suspicion>Question>Pass. If your voice is good enough to get past suspicion they'll ask whether your a girl or a boy. If it gets even better then that you definately pass! ;P.

This helps alot because I do it every morning (When my voice is all groggy) After so much practice (Thanks to summer break) I don't need to warm up ever! <3

[Guest Sarah Faith]

Ventrilo is a voice chat program that tons of people use for playing video games via PC, mainly Massively Multiplayer Online Games. So basically like talking with a headset over Xbox live.

Either way, I'm happy that worked for you!

[Guest Nikkichick33]

Hello chibi_usa, that is a very clever way of going about voice training. way braver than Me! Props girl

Nikki...

[Guest Wendy F]

Wow, you are very brave.

I don't think I would be able to tolerate a bunch of tween boys calling me names!! I would prefer constructive criticism. xD

[Guest Guitargodess214]

I don't think I could do that, People on Xbox are really really Mean, especially on Call of Duty. I don't play it because the people there are mostly Bullies, Pre-Teens, and Cheaters. I would think it would be harder on xbox live because the Kinect and headset adds an almost mechanical sound to your voice completely ruining the effort. Sarah you can always change your Gamertag for 800 Points/ten dollars. I know it's a bit much but so worth it depending on your Gamertag you won't lose your Gamerscore for changing it either.

Yes but it has helped me on phone, in real life, and everything else. I understand that your voice is "mechanical sounding" But somehow for example. My bff and me were at Starbucks and I was talking like a guy. Suddenly my friend calls me and I did a girl voice in a second. And my friend... was absolutely... AMAZED. Besides it helps because people would tell you dude why are you trying to sound like a girl? Or wow u sound like Mickey Mouse (My friend attempted to do this and I taught him) And now he sounds like a perfect girl. Except 13. Lol. But still. And now he can do it in real life too. So I mean it still helps you with the pitch and everything. But like ya. Your choice but in my opinion it helped me learn how to switch in seconds.

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

I must say it is both creative and unconventional. As long as you don't take any criticism personally, it could actually work.

[Guest Kylie2112]

I get that quite a bit when I play Rock Band on XBL. My in-game character is pretty much me with better boobs, and after talking about songs to play, and I get the usual "Girl on drums? This is going to suck!" Of course, that usually isn't the way it goes

On the flipside, my WoW guild didn't know I was male (pre-transition, and they were the first people I came out to...been in it for 7 years now) until I started talking on Vent (it went from "Holy crap, Sturm's a dude!" to "Figured there was something behind all that!" when I came out). So at least typing was more than girly enough to pass as female rather than the typical "guy who would rather stare at a hot Night Elf chick's tush"...I chalk that up to my first serious on-line experiences being with the girls from work on AIM group chats when I was in high school.

[Guest Kelly-087]

Semi-Related story xD

In Halo Reach it would open up mic to your enemy team if they were close to you (I noticed this because heard people working in teams to kill me)

So instead of talking in my normal voice, I'd use that very cliche and flamboyant gay male type of voice. You should hear the way some of these kids get mad xD

But yeah I'd never take people on Xbox Live seriously. Most of them are little kids trying to prove how cool and manly they are, or older guys trying to prove how alone they aren't.

Of course you find some really cool people sometimes! But for the most part I could never deal with the hate and un-necessary insults so I just mute everyone when I do play.

Ahaha I never played Halo before but maybe I will. I think you should stop muting people and try sounding like what you really are. XD. People will help you just for the fun of it! At least you know they're going to be honest.

[Guest ~Brenda~]

I don't engage in online gaming, but I would advise that one should employ caution at all times. Kelly, if you feel safer muting people and not displaying your voice, I think that is wise.

Be safe and always be aware.

I mute whether Im trying to make myself femme or not

Its generally wise for most people. On the rare occasion I play games, I don't want to deal with some cocky 13 year old whos only skill is infact, Call of Duty xD

I do commend Chibi for two reasons.

If she doesn't pass the voice test: Most prolly wont be nice.

If she does. Most prolly won't be nice.

I've talked to female gamers on rare occasions, and they either get insulted with things like "Get in the kitchen -fill in with your imagination horri-word-" or they actually get sexually harassed.

It's kinda amusing actually when they harass me. I don't get mad very easily and I built an immunity to their sexist jokes. But what makes it even more fun is when the older and more mature guys starts defending me by yelling and dissing the younger kids. ANYWAYS I even gave a couple of them my account just because I don't want to waste my time leveling up. They didn't even seem to mind helping me. And some were nice to share their Hulu and Netflix account and they don't even ask for pictures or anything creeperish in return. In my opinion gaining experience, friends, kinda learning how the guy mind works, and getting free movie accounts is so worth the kiddish sexual harassments. <3
