Graduated from voice lessons! Woooooo 🥳
I do absolutely sound better and pass better vocally when Im mad, when Im happy, when Im tired, when I have to yell at someone who doesn't have their hearing aids in, when I cough or sneeze... I made heaps of progress with a voice coach over 6 months. It did end up costing quite a bit over alllll the lessons. It was worth it to me and I had the money to spend, but I know that can be a real barrier for people.
I think its possible to do this without a coach - you'd just have to be serious about practicing daily. And find good resources. The Big Dog, Little Dog thing does work but you have to do it. Raising your larynx works but same deal. Shortening vocal tract, that all works. All the exercises you can find online and watch videos to see examples. And the biggest hump is definitely "getting over it"/dealing with feeling cringe and dysphoric and practicing anyway. This is not to be underestimated, for sure, not downplaying that part.
It was also nice to have a coach to listen and give feedback but if I didn't have that, I had a lot of my friends all of whom are trans femme too which is also a big bonus and makes the whole thing much easier.
Ooh congrats!! Reminds me I got to look into that as its covered by my insurance.
I've tried to do it myself a little bit but could never keep it up for more than two days.
That's so good, congrats!
I'm trying to take on this journey too and I think I've been having some progress, but doing it alone is pretty hard, I get pretty lost some of the time, like absolutely unsure if I'm doing it right or getting any closer.
My voice was never that masculine, at least not the way I use it, so I guess it should be a little easier.
