I am a singing teacher in a small town and have students asking for this kind of therapy. thankyou for ideas and guidance.

OMG Thank you!!! I was told to pull back the corners of my mouth, akin to sucking on a piece of candy or a straw. It wasn't working, and I was having a terrible time with it, but when you said French, it clicked. It has made a world of difference :) For once, I don't hate my voice!

Thank you for all of your hard work, advise and support, it is much appreciated!

Thank you for making this!!

Fascinating!

I'm trans too ahhah I look very feminine but I still sound very male

I have been looking for something like this, thank you so much

Great beneficial

Hey I'm in Eugene! This was helpful, thank you

@Eugene Speech Therapy due to a crooked nose, Is it a possibility my training is not effective when I focus speaking through my nasal cavity

Wish I could practice anytime besides 12pm. I’m tired

As a french person i am even more confused now

Awesome

❤

Do you know any method to measure female male resonance? Like measuring pitch.

as a man do I need hormons or is it possible with technique to speak feminin?

Can you do a video about talking to Houseplants ,

My friend is a female but her voice is male voice Pls help

As a linguist, I'd have to say that this is not the best instruction at all. TransVoiceLessons is literal decades of learning ahead of this. For SLPs and other phoneticians: The 1-step exercise to increase "R1" (what TVL terms the resonance of the laryngeal/pharyngeal space), is to articulate bare aspiration, and raise the pitch of that aspiration (do not palatalize!). Once you have gotten this very high, hold it there and start speaking. You'll be able to hold a modal voice with a much-smaller R1 space. To reduce how much of the vocal folds are vibrating (what TVL terms "thinness" or "thickness"), just tilt your neck all the way up / tilt your head all the way back while you're speaking, and maintain the sound it gives you. This is a distillation of an hour of introductory TVL videos. I definitely recommend watching them for yourself. A typical female SLP will always have difficulty demonstrating the full potential of this effect, however, since women do not as a rule get large R1 spaces in puberty.

I'm doing this to mess with my friends lol I'm not Trans I swear

Im a Trans Woman and To be honest there was very little information from this 4 minute short video and did not help at all

I am a man not a trans but I have high pitch sounds like femine.

I am so sick of cisgender speech therapists like you who don't know the first thing about voice feminization telling us trans women how to use bullshit classical singing techniques to make subtle changes like the ones demonstrated here. Viewers -- Notice how all of the different voices she uses in this video all sound cis female. That's because she is a cis female, and she isn't doing much of anything to change the size of her resonating cavities. If she wanted to sound less female in any truly noticeable way, she'd have to lower her larynx as well as use a heavier amount of vocal weight. The real trick to voice feminization is in shrinking the space inside and thus raising the main resonant frequency (or R1) of our voice, which is largely done through the raising of the larynx. Some stuff with the mouth space is involved too, yes, but without any larynx manipulation, you're just going to be making tiny subtle changes like the ones heard in this video, and not really changing your vocal gender much at all. Speech language pathologists like this hack will usually not tell you to raise your larynx though, because there is a phobia in the classical singing community of raising the larynx. It can be associated with increased tension and strain (keyword: can), so they largely avoid it, clinging to this delusion that larynx manipulation and tension cannot ever be decoupled. Check out transvoicelessons though. She's a much better voice teacher than I am. Focusing too much on thinking of it as "larynx raising" like I'm saying here can indeed sometimes lead to tension, and she's been modifying her teaching style to be more effective in all sorts of ways since I did the bulk of my initial study into this. Don't trust cis SLPs. 90% of them have no idea what they're doing.

this confused me even more...
