Voice feminization--Practice together on Zoom?


Kasumi63

Recommended Posts

Anyone else just looking for someone to practice with? I live in Japan, but I'm sure that we could come up with times that work. Mornings or evenings work best, but I'm quite flexible. Maybe we could even make a group if we have more interest.

Darn! I was really hoping I'd have some takers. I really, really need practice, and I was guessing some of you guys do, too. Oh, well. Guess I'll keep practicing on my own.

 Hi, Agnes. Yes, that's what I was thinking. Just once a week or even once a month is fine, I think. If we got a few people together that would be even better. From EST, if you add two hours, you get my time (with day and night reversed, of course). Weekends would probably be best, but I'm pretty flexible. Please note: I don't have much of a feminine voice at all, so no one should be worried. I'm thinking  just for practice.

I am taking lessons a couple days a month, both private and insurance, so I have exercises I’m supposed to practice. Like saying “Here kitty kitty kitty” in increasing pitches while being conscious of changing resonance in the face. I do it while I’m out walking my dog when no one is around. Lol

 

i also just got a tracheal shave yesterday so the feeling in the Adam’s apple region is a bit different now.

 

So yeah it would be fun to practice and get feedback from someone other than my dog! Lol

 

do you have a zoom account that lasts longer than 40 minutes?

Hi There,

After some discussions about the desire to voice chat with each other to get some experience using our voices in a safe space. I created a discord server for that purpose, there's only a few of us from the TransPulse discord server in there (TransPulse discord does not have a voice chat) and I did get permission to post the link in the TransPulse discord, though the bots removed it immediately so I'm going to assume it's ok to post here as well. So feel free to join, we haven't done a whole lot of voice chats, but again, mostly due to not many of us there.

Thanks for doing that. Hopefully, we can agree on some set times for practicing. I'll check out the Discord link.

I'm fairly new to discord. i created an account for Agnes-Bardsie, and I did a search for Kasumi and found you, but nothing came up for Kara. How do we connect?

My name is not Kara, I have it changed here as was no longer comfortable having my real name on public forum. I did see you joined the discord, you just need to hit the little trans flag emoji reaction at the bottom of the rules in the discord channel and then you'll see the others and channels for voice and chat

ok, seeing lots of channels. gaming, offtopic, pokemon, etc. i did the #introduce yourself, and green check mark under server rules. not seeing a trans flag emoji though. I have made posts in the mtf folder in the past. what am i missing?

Hi @AgnesBardsie I have just hone and had a look, like you I missed this post first time round. I am quite happy with my voice, even though I am not full time yet, but it is always good to practice!

 

When you click on the link click on the #welcome, and then under the rules the very last sentence is a small trans flag emoji. click on that and it opens up the lounge, from there its just a case of actually messaging and setting up voice chats at specific times.

I would love to talk to people who are happy with their voices and perhaps be mentored by them!

Yes, me, too! I've taken lessons and practice quite a bit, but I haven't made much progress. Very depressing.

I'm interested! Is there a time set, or just check in to see if someone is on? I haven't used Discord yet, so this should be fun! 

 

Hugs!

My throat is still recovering from a tracheal shave, it's a bit hoarse, a little too much mucous production going on. However, the doctor said there was no restriction on talking, so yea, I'm game. I think we're all in a variety of time zones. US East Coast/West Coast, UK, Japan, 

 

 

Japan - JST (UTC +9) - Tue, Dec 7, 2021 - 2:00 pm

West Coast, USA - PST (UTC -8) - Mon, Dec 6, 2021 - 9:00 pm

East Coast, USA - EST (UTC -5) - Tue, Dec 7, 2021 - 12:00 midn

United Kingdom - GMT (UTC +0) - Tue, Dec 7, 2021 - 5:00 am

 

Could be interesting!

There's no set time, but once you're in you can chat with the others there and I'm sure you'll find a person or two that might be on at the same time as you. Typically I'm on m-f between 9 and 2 EST depending on how busy it is at work I'll join the voice chat when it's not overly busy.

Thanks @Kara Zor-El! I'll get a Discord account. I can probably get some practice during that time frame after school's done with my granddaughters.

 

Something I noticed while practicing is using an accent seems to help, maybe it's because I'm making that voice change helps me hit the feminine voice range.

 

Hugs!

My voice therapist gave me a couple of dozen phrases to humm, chant and speak. I’d love to do that with an audience other than my dog, who either thinks I’m nuts or approves every word, depending on when she last ate!

Anyone want to go back to the zoom idea? Discord doesn’t work for me. I hate my voice and would like to practice

Ah, to have the life of a dog.  The practice with others over zoom idea sounds like a great idea (don't think I'm ready for it yet).
I only had 3 voice therapy sessions before dropping out.  My voice therapist told me that I was going falsetto again abut 5 times in my 3rd session when I told her I have no idea what that means.  She explained it to me but I cannot hear it in my own voice - too stressful.  I joined what I thought would be my 4th session only to be told that I didn't have an appointment (Email said I did).  I canceled all future appointments after that.
Note:  My therapist said I was making amazing progress at the end of my 3rd session, but that comment seemed to be in direct contradiction of how many times she pulled me up for going falsetto.  I set a very high standard  for myself when it comes to academic pursuits, anything less than 'High Distinction' was a fail in my world.

      Nothing wrong with that. I'm glad that you found what makes you happy! Just curious what does your wife think? If it's too personal I understand.

      – According to a recent survey, the most popular name for a dog is Max. Other popular names include Molly, Sam, Zach, and Maggie.

      Bob was on his way home from the dojo and he "just happened" to driver by her place. It was 10:30.  Her light was still on.  He knew exactly where she was sitting.  He saw her in his mind.   A fierce wave of desire that took his breath away suddenly showed up. All he had to do was stop, get out of the car, walk to the door and knock.  She would answer, glad to see him.  She would know why he was there and what he wanted. She would invite him in, maybe get him something to drink, disappear for a moment and return in "something more comfortable."  She would lead him back. Oh, joy.   And never, ever speak to him again afterwards.  Or she would not let him in but be angry about it.  In no way, emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually, was she ready for this, and he knew it, if he was honest with himself, and she knew he knew it.  She would look upon it as another assault and their relationship would be irretrievably broken.  He would have to leave town. It would devastate her. It would devastate him.    He fought himself.  He was frozen to his seat as his reason and his body fought. He was twenty four years old, a full-blooded male with normal desires; he had just worked out and he was ready.  All he had to do now was open the car door. No one would know. He held his hands, one in the other, to keep one from moving, against his reason and will, to open that door.  He did not want to be a slave of his desires.   He looked across the street.  Mrs. McCarthy, sister of his landlord, was peeking though her window.  She knew his car.  Everyone in town would know by noon the next day if he got out of the car.  Taylor did not need that, either, and she would know, if he came to the door now, what a selfish thing it would be: in his own eyes, in the eyes of Taylor, in the eyes of the town, and worst of all, in the eyes of God.   He sat there a moment longer.  He was, as he reflected, entering into her sufferings in a small way that she would be made whole, healthy and happy: what he wanted more than anything.  But this hurt.  Why had all this come on her?  He asked God again, but there was only silence. He drove home in that silence. He chided himself for even going on her street and for driving on it other nights.  He would stop that, he told himself.   ------------------------------------------   The next morning Taylor went out to her car to go to work.  Mrs. McCarthy met her before she got to it. "I thought you were going to get lucky last night, dearie," she said. Taylor was puzzled. "Why, what do you mean?" "That young fellow - you know, Bob - he's been driving around here, going up and down the street some nights, not stopping.  Well, last night he parked and sat in his car for a while.   I think he was staring at your window.  I think he was trying to get up the courage to knock on the door. I was rooting for him.   But then he drove away.  Faint heart never won fair lady, as they say. What a shame. You two are a lovely couple.  Well, have a good day!" "Thank you, Mrs. McCarthy."  Taylor knew Bob extremely well and knew what had been going through his mind.  She was more than grateful he had not gotten out of the car. Better for him, better for her, better for everybody.  Surgery "down there" sooner than later.  This was driving the poor boy crazy. It was driving her crazy, too.  But she had a lot to work through. Surgery "up here" she said, pointing to her head.  She woke up her therapist on the way to work.  They were still talking when she pulled into her designated parking spot.  That was a perk that had happened yesterday.  She took a deep breath and headed into work. It would be another wild day.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
