Trying to weed out all the choices for voice training CDs HELP

[ShawnaLeigh]

I have read a ton in this section and see there are girls here that have had success with this or that.  It gives me hope.  However I can't buy and try them all.

First I can not do anything that is online or requires a computer.  My only "safe" time to practice will be during my commutes to and from work.  I have about 45 min to 1.5 hours, one way, depending on which hospital I am driving to.  I plan to do this solely in the car at first until I learn some things and then only when I have privacy.

So that said I would like a program that is CD only and fairly complete.  Or downloaded to my iPhone.

Price is not a huge deal as I get a nice padding to my paychecks now and again from OT.  Which I have currently in my account burning a hole.  LOL

Thank you in advance.  (especially since this has been asked like 100000x.)

Have you looked into Eva MTF for the iPhone?

 

With best wishes,

Hi ShawnaLeigh, 

 

Has there been any further response to your question?

Did you get the EVA MTF for the iphone?

I too am working on my voice, since I sound VERY male, and am still in transition.

 

Thank  you,

I had downloaded an iPhone app call VoiceUp and it seemed to be helping.  The analyzer gave me fairly good numbers well into the female range with very little male range recorded. Just after a short while too. Though to me I still sound male.  
I realize the range of a cis women can vary fairly low in pitch to very high.  But still.  To me I still sound male.  I hate it.  
At best I may sound like a gay male.  Which is a beginning I suppose.  
I plan to seek out a voice trainer in my area if I can get it covered under insurance.  Fingers crossed.

Shawna and Laura,

 

I'm reading through a Kindle book called The Voice Book for Trans and Non-Binary People. It has good reviews and it has been helpful so far. It doesn't have an Audible version so you would have to read it rather than listen to it. But it has lessons you could learn while reading and then practice while you're driving.

 

I have also watched a number of YouTube videos that have been helpful. There are several sisters who I can't believe they aren't cis, so I steer away from any others.

 

If I find a good source for lessons that can be done while driving I will post here.

 

Love and Hugs ?

Belle

This is a decent book.  I bought the paperback version some time ago.  They referenced a companion audio file that could be downloaded that demonstrated the exercises, etc.  Unfortunately I cannot find it.

Belle and Jani,

 

Thank you both. I have ordered the book on Amazon.
