Vox test vid journal for my new band

[ToniTone]

 

I just wanted to post this here real quick, I'ma check other threads, and talk about my experience (and maybe my new band) later. Busy atm. I plan on doing more of these as I progress and train my vocals, I'll post them in this thread.

 

Vid's about 8 minutes long of akward, subtle voice variations, as I improvise talking about my vox experience and my new music project I'm starting...

Coming along! Been watching videos and reading tips on how to feminize voice. I'm very akward... generally speaking, lol! But I'm progressing.

 

I've been so happy since I started transitioning! ❤️

One of the absolute largest parts of having a feminine voice is NOT the PITCH so much as the vocabulary and the pronunciation of the words.  I am a second Tenor (T2) for my comfortable singing voice and really have no problems with it as far as just the pitch goes.  What matters is that female voices are multi-tonal in their speaking, for instance, just the word HELLO is Hel (high tone) lo (lower note) and can even be three notes if you get nit picky.    Male voices are mono tonal if you listen to them.  You folks have a great Gay Men's and a Lesbian Chorus in your area where they welcome Trans people and let them test drive their voices.  I have met those people and they are great.

Sorry, I forgot to warn about the loud sound at 0:27-0:30ish! 

 

Yeah, fem vox totally has more expression to it, huh!

My dr was telling me the university of mn has a trans choir actually, I checked out some vids. Amazing! She said they'd let me sit in and consult on vocals too. The vocal therapist on campus is the director, she's amazing! 

 

I'm really nervous, just about being on camera in general, but also... It's bedtime where I live, an (mostly?) all hetero cis-male residence, buncha macho dudes and I'm not planning on coming out to anyone here for the remainder of my time here. Which makes making these vids in house all the more nerve-racking, ugh! *sigh* A covert operation, heheheh... o.~

 

Thank you for your input Vicky! It's nice to hear advice from someone with knowledge and talent of vocalisation.

I think I met the director of that chorus back in 2016.  GALA Choruses is an association of LG and NOW T choruses that get together for a festival every 4 years and the next one is going to be in Minneapolis in July 2020.  Trans Chorus of Los Angeles is going to be there.  I have a savings account started already for travel and housing.  The 2016 was a fantastic time.
