Suggestions for online training?


Kellianne

So I have done a little research and NatFem Voice Training seems like it may be a good venue. It is $100 a lesson and I am told even with my deep voice, within 4 to 6 months with a lesson a week, a female voice is achievable. Has anyone here used them? Does that sound right timeline wise, that seems awful fast... Does anyone have any suggestions for other places?

I went with Female Voice Club. It took me 18 months at a lesson every other week. However, I had a more feminine voice sooner than that, the later lessons were more about fine-tuning. As for achievability, I guess it would depend on how much work you put in. I practiced my exercises for a solid hour every day and then spent every waking moment trying to put it into practice wherever I could. I honestly don't remember how my old voice sounded anymore. Disclaimer: I was good at voices before. Now I'm REALLY good at voices, but I've lost the one I started with. That's not so terrible. I don't miss it.

 

I also did 30-day Crash Course

I studied Melanie Ann Phillips

and one more that I am NOT finding in my archives. The point being that I learned something from all of them. I'd recommend Female Voice Club though. I think I got the most out of that.

What I would really, really like is a bunch of feminine sentences read by a female voice with pauses between so I can practice in the car or at home. I’ve searched a bit but haven’t been able to find anything. I’ve tried the Harvard sentences, but those aren’t likely to come up in daily life. I’m hoping for simple sentences that can be used in daily life (i.e. ordering coffee, saying hello, talking about the weather, etc.) Anyone know about something like this?  Would be so incredibly helpful!!  Could be an audio file, YouTube, whatever.

There were a lot of bits like that in the Female Voice Club training (I was just going over my notes). Though we did Harvard sentences too. Nina starts you with easy stuff like "Hello my name is..." and moves you through more and more complicated sentences while teaching you tricks to re-center your voice and add more feminine markers. It's not all about pitch (or resonance, though resonance is more important than pitch). There are a whole host of little things like how you end your sentences, how you modulate your voice, etc... Nina's lessons are all on MP3 or MP4 (the first two for some reason) formats so you can certainly do them in the car if you have a long enough trip. Vocal warm-up exercises (lessons 1 and 2) takes about twenty minutes then another twenty or so for the lesson itself. Repeat daily. At least. Vocal training is an area where you get out what you put in.

 

Hugs!

Thanks for the recommendation! I just enrolled in female voice club and did the first lesson! I love it!

Thanks for the tips, girls! I paid for a different course and am now taking online voice lessons, so I don’t really want to pay for another class. Any way to just get a file or CD with sentences for repeating? (Maybe I’ll need to just make my own list of sentences, and get a good feminine voice to read them for me.)  BTW, I’m also practicing in Japanese, so the process is doubly confusing for me.

I used Female Voice Club. They're online in California, but I never found the time-zone difference to be a big deal. The lessons come with links to the site and regular encouragement through your e-mail. You can also send Nina clips of your voice and she'll send you back her critique the next day.

I am using Exceptional Voice with a brick and mortor presence in Denver via Zoom with Kathe Perez a voice pathologist who has been feminizing voices for 40 some odd years. Exceptional Voice takes Blue Cross Blue shield. I started a couple of weeks ago and I am optimistic. They also offer EVAF, a voice feminization App for android and IOS and  WEB based voice feminization on an annual subscription.

Oh yeah! I did her 30-Day Crash course. Learned some helpful stuff.

Hi Becca, I've just joined this site today. I am in Ireland too, I'm just wondering if you found any answer to your question

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
