Tips before having Voice Feminization Classes or Vocal Therapy or whatever

[Guest chibi_usa]

Well... I'm just going to state the obvious. Practice. I know it not be much but to save money and time, especially for the lesson coming up it's best to practice. The next lesson that's coming up is only for 3 days and I suggest you use that time wisely now to do what you can do and ask questions there later, therefore benefiting more from it. Even I'm back to practicing to make sure I'm perfect, especially because I have no vocal coach.

Use this-http://www.lauras-playground.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4765

-Try doing the Falsetto (Mickey Mouse)

-Try puttiing your tongue on upper back teeth

-Try sighing

-Try EVERYTHING

-If you need help just post a question on the topic.

-And of course take a break 2-3 days before doing the lesson starting on the 08/20. Soooo... 08/17.

What if i don't have an adam's apple how do i check and press on it ?

And since one of the Youtubers i hired is a great voice actor we just voice act different gaming characters, so instead of Mickey Mouse we would do something like Evelyn or Ahri from League of Legends

Other then that i will try using these tips >.> But really no adam's apple here what to do

Everyone has an Adam's apple, some are just not as pronounced. Good tips though, tho for smokers, just stop. Same with milk and or dairy products, they cause a thickening of mucous prior to speech so it comes out differently. Drink water before.

You don't need an Adam's apple. It just helps you a little. Did you try sticking your tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your top teeth?

What is with all the second guessing of tips designed to help improve your speech?

[Guest Nikkichick33]

Is their a problem with me asking a question to better understand how a certain tip helps improve my speech?? I think not!! Guess asking questions comes natural me being a reserve sherif's deputy. If i want to ask how a certain procedure fits into the process, I will ask, anyone doesn't like it, come talk to me.

Don't trust me on this, but from what I can feel when I do this, that produces a similar effect to raising your voice box. Shortening the distance from the voice box to the mouth is often key to having a female sounding voice. You don't want to be sticking your tongue to the roof of your mouth while speaking ( ), but you will want to try to raise your voice box. Sticking your tongue there will give you an idea of which muscles to use to do this and how it should feel.

Again, I don't know for certain, so I might be just spreading a bunch of ... stuff.

Ok, please chill, it's like Newton's third law. The response you give is merited an equal response. You asked in a snarky tone and got one back. I only mention it because the OP is actually offering tips to help people. Google often helps with any questions we might have. The tongue trick is helpful in gaining a certain tone, not only that, it helps the muscles adapt, like in odd situations such as if some how you are forced to talk with your mouth full of food, or louder tones, whatever kind of scenario. We can't always rely on having just one way, if we cough and have to adjust, if we sneeze etc. There are so many variables when it comes to getting that female voice.

OK, enough of that. The Moderators can judge what is over the line and what isn't. Thank you both.

I would find it interesting that such a post of mine was misconstrued as trying to do anyone's job. Frankly I find trying to find work and keeping up a feminine appearance work enough. I am not sure how anyone finds time to do both. I certainly find such time management frustrating, but that is just me. Inspirational! I keep being inspired by the posts here everyday!

If you do this, you get a very similar feeling to talkin like a girl. When you do this your pitch gets higher and sometimes if your lucky you'll get your girl voice almost right away. I found this out when I was trying to teach someone who couldn't do falsetto. So i thought... How am I going to make this work? As soon as I did my falsetto I found out my tongue was kinda reaching the top of my mouth. After I told her about it she found her voice straight away.

Ya I think so. O.o Something about muscles and feelings. This sounds about right about right. But yes. I would say stick tongue to roof of mouth and behind teeth. Talk and record. See what you need to fix. THEN on the 20th ask her if what your doing is sounding right. Even I and everyone else seems to think I sound like a girl. BUT to be exactly perfect, there are still stuff that probably needs to be improved that I don't know about.

You don't do that permanently. O.o Let go. Put your tongue back in position. Stop thinking about your tongue so much and focus on your neck/throat. XD If you noticed your neck/changed position or is a bit strained. If it isn't your not pushing hard enough.
