Wish I could do this but my house is too small so my trans phobic parents would hear and start questioning me

as a producer that makes darth vader beats I can't get enough

Pov your family your family thinks your a lunatic now 😐

This was such a straight forward exercise to show people how to create a deeper voice. Other videos go into the theory and get overly wordy by trying to describe techniques like speaking from the chest vs head voice, lengthening the vocal chords, resonance. Which is all well and good, but the thing is when someone doesn't already know a skill, describing it in just or mostly words is often a poor lesson because the learner doesn't know what the end result should be or how to perform the action. So they take their already incorrect practices and apply them to the descriptions of vocal techniques while still repeating the same mistakes. What I love about your video here is you both describe the technique (dropping the voice box), but also give a plain and dead simple technique for how to actually PERFORM the desired result. That's the key thing that makes your video stand out to me. Thank you for your lessons!

IM SO PISSED I STARTED GAGGING AT THE DARTH VADER BREATHS BECAUSE OF MY SENSORY ISSUES AJDHSJFJDJF

Exercises 3:09 5:56

I'm a cis woman interested in learning to sound masculine for the purpose of voice acting. I want to be able to sound masculine, but not all the time every day. Would you recommend this exercise for someone like me?

THE FACT THAT MY VOICE GOT THICKER RIGHT AFTER DOING THIS IS SO WILD AND MIND BLOWING THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH

For any genderfluid people, like me, or cis women looking for this for voice acting, this is the same kind of exercise you would do as an alto in a choir class! You open up the back of the throat to allow that richer deeper sound though! Just make sure you also remember to not neglect your upper range and your ability to *safely* but smoothly transfer between the both. Don't just focus on one

As a non binary person with a femenine voice, this helped a lot! Thank you so much

i keep yawning lol

I breathed so deeply & quickly i accidentally activated my gag reflex XD

I have a super feminine voice and I get super dysphoric around my voice, this is so helpful I can't even begin to say how helpful this is.

As someone who went through a lot of feminine voice training, this is great to undo a lot of habits that were honestly hurting my voice as it dropped with HRT. Thanks ❤️

I came here to help deepen my voice. Surprisingly, it also helped a lot with my chronic chest pain!! I’m in awe right now, I’ve never found anything that helped it, outside of medication. I feel like this video just gifted me two amazing things when I expected one! Thank you so much❤

I'm a cis male, but I don't have a very deep or naturally powerful voice so this is a great exercise! :D (I can actually sing quite powerful in at least two full octaves and even do screams/growls but my speaking voice is not very impressive unless I put on my carnival barker/wrestling announcer voice)

I’m here because I want to do NPC voices better whilst DMing and roleplay my D&D character more (although I do also want a deeper voice), but seeing all these comments of joy from people that this helped is pretty heartwarming

My sister definitely thinks I've gone insane, but this is so helpful

Unfortunately, it's the middle of the night. This is gonna have to wait until people are up. Thank goodness my training in choir has helped a little, as has trying to mimic people's singing voices. The throat feel this has is like when I mimic France or Germany from Hetalia.they both have a very full, round sound to their voice. It's hard to accomplish when I'm not singing, though. When I tell people I want a deeper voice, they often just tell me to do T, but I'm not a guy and I don't really want everything else that comes with T, just the voice.

this is going to be useful for me, i didn't even have to hire some voice actors

I have a very high pitched and girly voice and I even became a smoker as a teenager expecting my voice to drop. I'm so happy KZfaq read my mind and recommended me this video. Usually I'd find the algorithm a tad creepy but this time I'm very glad.

thank you so much for making this! it helps a lot with my voice dysphoria. i'm just wondering though, are there any tips for singing higher notes while still sounding masculine or is there a video that covers that? thanks!

How often and for how long do you recommend doing these exercises?

I'm non binary with a really feminine voice so this really helps me! Thank you, and keep up the good work!

I can't tell if I'm giddy or dizzy from all that deep breathing, but I'm not complaining! Now if only I had the confidence to actually put it into sound... Thanks so much for making this video!

Can't wait to try this out! I've been wanting to present as more androgynous, especially my voice, so I've been looking for something like this.

Thanks for taking the time to make content like this!

I’m doing this for voice acting, but fully support trans peeps, love yall

Im actually crying right now because of happiness and amazement. These videos help so much, thank you so so much for making them.

I'm so soft when going to the lower notes lol time to practice!

It's a tremendous relief to finally sound like myself! Ive been subconsciously doing that for years but now i can finally train to have some quality without sound trembling. Thank you so much!

My problem is that every time I open my throat, I feel like I'm yawning and then can't stop yawning. It's really ruining my progress

I'm a cis man (and im gay) but i hate sounding feminine so im doing these

i wish that i sounded like a man and not a woman doing a deep voice 😅 (if that makes sense)

I'm not sure if it's time for my voice to break but as soon as I started doing this training my voice started changing for the better! Thank you so much for giving us this information for free. It's truly appreciated

yay! gonna share everywhere

Actually crying rn I need this so much

Thank you! I am gonna watch The next two videos too to start with my daily voice training

These videos are a godsend

This tutorial is very well done! It has helped me to start to reach a point where I am more comfortable speaking to people.

is drinking types of drinks like warm or more colder drinks can help getting to that voice?

Thank you for this guide series! Im still trying to make my voice more masculine after years bring higb pitched

3:03 Breathing Exercises Start, 5:37 Ha-ha Exercises Start

I love your channel and how accessible you make this, thank you so much for sharing this information you are so wonderful and your channel is so helpful thank you!!!!!!

Im so happy I found this video :)

OMG it works! Thank u so much!!!

Im gonna do comment progress because some of u might want (starting with day one) Day 1: Nothing has changed yet but it's a start. Day 2: OH MY GOSH-im actually surprised I only watched video one and the difference I love this 😭 edit: ITS BEEN A WHILE BUT IT WORKS! IM SO HAPPY TYSM

My parents watching me like: 😕?

As a non binary person that may lean transmasc and identifies as a butch this really helped me and I felt euphoric doing this. My voice naturally has a masculine feel to it but still traditionally feminine sounds on the end of what I say. I hope I can lower my voice naturally more overtime. I’m not so sure I want all of the changes T comes with.

u are a lifesaver

THANK YOU. SO MUCH. I appreciate all of these, and how you describe everything. You’re wonderful

Fantastic

this is so helpful!!! and also kinda fun :)

Really useful!

As a genderfluid person AFAB, this is amazigg thank you

How much of these do you need to do and how often? I've only watched part one this far so I think there will be other exercises besides what is shown in the video? Should I do all, should I switch between different exercises or do all in one day? Tips would be much appreciated!

Thank you ;-;

Wow! All I did was follow along with the video and I can already feel a lot of muscles getting worked! How often and for how long should someone just starting out practice this?

how often/long would you recommend doing these exercises to see change? like 10-20 minutes a day or something like that?

Hello there! My apologies if you have answered this somewhere else, but I must inquire; I've been consistently able to feel a change of SOME kind when I practice these exercises, getting a decent deepness. However, I end up with a... I suppose "Patrick Star" effect, where it sounds less richly masculine and more like someone's slowed down a video and sped it up without putting the pitch back. It sounds very ridiculous when I try. Is there a specific reason for this, or is it a more nuanced problem? I can hold the voice for as long as I need to without strain, but it just sounds flat out cartoonish!

Thanks - note: would be easier to follow without the background music that covers the breathing sounds!!

Im already on T and have lowered my voice but i still sound so weird and keep blowing out my voice. I csnt figure out how to nake my voice sound natural and not hurt. Creating the space in the back of my throat has helped with singing and not hurting when i remember but it still doesn't sound right. ToT.

I feel like I'm not doing it right... I can hit the notes but I feel like my voice still sounds feminine (like a girl just trying to hit the notes) and not that richness you had. :< Also, is it normal for it to wear out your jaw?

thank you so much for these videos! i think i need to learn to breathe into my belly first ;/

That's crazy

I wanna do this but my mum is here and she's almost never out except for when I'mat school ;-;

My voice cant handle the Darth vader breathing and made my head hurt

I couldn't reach the last note, what do I do? Should I practice until I reach that note and then go to the next part? :(

so for the Darth Vader exercise, my voice didn't tickle, and I'm wondering if I'm doing it right. (Though it could possibly be from me doing different voices) Do you normally breathe, or do you breathe in while mimicking how your throat is while you're yawning?

3:06

4:25 if it weren’t for the fact I was in choir all of middle school I’d have no idea what you meant about belly breathing or how to do it lol Whenever I want to take the deepest breath possible I always like… fill up the stomach first??? It sounds weird but I guess we just don’t have a better way to describe it 😂

I cant even figure out how to get my mouth to shape like that ;-;

Is it supposed to feel like a yawn or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, not sure if this has been asked already or not, but long would it take for a significant drop to be achieved?

when I do the darth vader breathing I think I'm doing it wrong because my throat feels like its tightening

How would you open the throat?

One of the major problems Inhave is that not only does my voice sound too feminine, but it for some reason sounds higher when I speak Spanish than English. Spanish is the language most of my family speaks and the main language I teach in so it's a major issue for me.

Idk it just isn't working for me :( I saw your other videos so ill check those out but do you think you can give me an easier alternative to this?

I’m a cis man looking to lower my speaking voice perminantly. Can this help me? Or is it kinda like the inverse of breathing in from a helium balloon to give yourself a high pitched voice temporarily for a short time after the exercise is complete?

Agh I think that last note might be my limit I can't sing it properly

2:40

Is it normal for the breathing thing to make my throat uncomfortable after doing it a few more times? It's not just weird it's not that great (worth it though lol)

❤️

I’m dizzy now

What can I do if VM exercises just make me yawn over and over? 😣

What if you're tongue tied and literally cant do anything about it? My tongue is attached all the way and I had problems eating and speaking as a kid. Its like... bound up at the back.

My gag reflex is really sensitive so I can't really do this🫠

Why does my gag reflex activate when I try to breathe in with my mouth like an O?

I almost flipped when I sounded like a dude XD

I am a CIS man who was caught misgendered on the phone, I hope this helps

It just makes me sound like I'm mid yawn when I talk like that, is that supposed to be what happens? 😅

Is it normal for your ears to pop while doing this? Because mine sure are

im 15, tryna sound more masculine because I'm a trans male... i hate this so much because I don't think its working at all. its only giving me a headache....

Why does my uvula feel like its irritated after doing this? It felt like it lengthened and i almost gagged at one point...what am i doing wrong??😅

Is it normal that I gag when I breath?

How long should we keep doing this daily?

I keep fucking yawning

Hi Anna I’m a trans guy and just wanted to know if I sing in a higher pitch than what I want my talking voice to be while doing these exercises would it mess up my vocal chords? I want to still be able to sing high but also low is that possible?

demigender here tysm :)

I guess quit smoking right?
