Developing your female voice
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2016 10:00 am
Ok, I have advocated being your authentic self and not play act as in affecting a feminine voice and mannerisms....I have been against all of this. But I have come across a couple interesting vids on you tube... https://youtu.be/hWHGS7s7ffY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWHGS7s7ffY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and https://youtu.be/q6eTvS2wIUc which piqued my interest.
I should clarify that I most definitely am gender fluid and transitioning would be a definite no for myself because my gender does swing into my male if it never did well... that would be different but here I am at 59 struggling to maintain my looks and if I am not there at this late date then I am basically at my end point...having my ears pierced and becoming accustomed to slightly longer hair overcoming a style change from my ingrained look is hard enough.
The first youtube link above the person is drop dead gorgeous and I am so envious and discouraged... Yes...she is a transsexual!!! You kind of have to rub your eyes and look again it is truly amazing!! If I were still young and could come out looking like her with her accent and voice.....um. But...No I have a general american accent that drifts into some country southern on occasion a product of growing up all over the United States. I know because I have been told I do not have a southern accent...or have been asked where are you from? Oh well. I did look at several other of her videos and you can see her body as she works wanting a larger bum, slimmer shoulders and arms and becomes softer...still as a transsexual gee I would consider marrying her she is a knock out! That's saying quite a lot but she is very attractive and is very easy on the eyes of a hetero male such as myself. Wow...very attractive...
So why would or should a part timer be interested in practicing to develop a woman's voice? It takes about a year and a lot of practice. Well, the answer is that we don't but how many out there have a guitar leaning up against a wall somewhere and from time to time pick it up and fool around with it? Well...it's like that...more of a fun hobby we can practice and play with after all it is not all that difficult it is just something you have to become accustomed to. and being part time girls....well we may not use hormones or have surgery but we do shave our legs and body hair where it should not be...we polish our nails...we groom our eye brows and apply make up...we grow, shape buff and even polish our nails don't we? We wear bras with breast forms in them and grow and style our hair or wear a wig. We enjoy all the lingerie and clothing, shoes and jewelry. So doesn't developing a second natural voice in the female vocal range naturally go along with all of that. I don't know about you but I like to experience everything possible for me to experience about being a woman because this other part of my self just is...
I may only be gender fluid and part time but while I am in my feminine self...I am there.
Funny thing is I have learned that developing a female voice for transsexuals and full time cross dressers is not play acting. they become accustomed to it and do it without thinking about it and their voice is amazingly identical to that of any woman. I learned they have to do this because testosterone thickens our vocal cords and that taking Estrogen and surgery ...orchiectomy ... does not change any of that so unless they have a vocal cord proceedure they simply learn to sing an octave higher until they do it without thinking about it anymore...muscle memory and unthinking habit. Think about the things you do without thinking about them ever tried getting in another car and find yourself reaching for perhaps the shift knob...out of habit even though you have borrowed a car with an automatic transmission? You do it without even thinking and that is the same thing that happens here with the voice you speak in all the time after long enough you have to think to shift to the male range because you never use it anymore.
I do not believe I will get that far but it is not that difficult to increase the pitch until my vibrations ascend completely out of my chest and move up to the location of my voice box Larynx. It is not a falsetto ... a true female voice overlaps the upper range of our male voice...then there is simply adding in inflection and some emotion and flow rather than chopping our speech like a machete at the end of our words or barking them out. Place your fingers just below your larynx until you feel the vibrations there rather than the deep booming loud ones eminating in your bronchioles or upper chest. A woman's voice does on the lower part of her range reach down to that of a tenor male. It does take practice to not overdo all of this...listening to women and slowing down a little can help.
I can say I do feel I have found 75-80% of my feminine voice with very little effort and practice just since yesterday after listening to her tips which are really very good.
Now I have been out. I must say hum? ...Am I flying out over my ski's here?? Thing is this is like inhaling helium...suddenly I find I feel like a balloon tethered to the ground with a piece of string as if I am floating around a bit... That is an effect I definitely do not want so I have to work to keep myself grounded and real...women do not float like a sissy...they are relaxed. I am also beginning to fear that if I were to do this too much for too long that my voice might indeed become stuck...really... I mean that I might begin to shift up here without thinking...there is a fear of that if you do it enough to become accustomed to something habitual and muscle memory kicks in and you start flying on auto pilot. If I do this enough I may find I do it without thinking...earlier I went for groceries I had to consciously think...clearing my throat and think "ok male voice" cut it out....
There is a normal female vocal range if you listen to women...they really do speak in a higher vocal range...there is slight breathiness at times there are rises and falls of inflection and women really do infuse their emotion into their speaking, it is not cut an dried, chopped and truncated with strength confidence and command and assertion that booms out loudly without really thinking about it only men do that. Women don't really think about what they are doing either. But their, women, voice is not falsetto...it is more in the mid range dropping just along the upper range of the male's. May be a little slower...well slowing the voice down and concentrating helps some...it is something to get used to.
Anyway I think it can be fun to learn to play our vocal instrument like an amateur yet have enough success to find our true feminine voice and that is the goal just kind of a fun thing to play at. It's just something to have fun with... If we venture out or perhaps on the phone it might be occasionally appropriate for us depending on how confident we are? Any takers?
