Feeling the Adams Apple is basically just a short cut to figure out where your larynx, the sound producing voice box, sits at the moment. Have you come across the Big Dog Small Dog exercise? That exercise can be used to get a feel for moving the larynx around. What you do is repeatedly exhale like a panting dog and than modulate the sound of your breath, pant like a big, heavy dog and your larynx goes down, pant like a tiny dog and your larynx goes up.

Once you got use to how it feels to have your larynx up you can introduce sound, then words, then speech and build up the necessary stamina and muscle memory.

There is also the quick and dirty method of swallowing and trying to keep the larynx at the peek of its movement, but it's not recommend because it can introduce unwanted tension into the whole process, which could be damaging in the long run.


If you haven't checked it out yet, there is a sub for voice training /r/transvoice, though its mainly used to get feedback

Zhea from Trans Voice Lessons on Youtube does a good job on explaining the mechanics of voices and sex in voices, which is good to know because high pitch might only be a part of the puzzle for the voice you are trying to achieve.

The Voice Book for Trans and Non-Binary People can give you a good starting point for tackling voice training on your own. It's not all exercises though, a large part of the book is about steps to apply the trained voice in everyday life.
