Nah, women speak in falsetto all the time (it's called m2, and it's a type of making sound with your vocal cords).

The difference is that they have more control over their falsetto, so it doesn't sound bad. (they've been practicing for a long time) There are certain things you can do to make it sound fuller and less harsh. I don't understand the physiology of it really, but you can figure it out by just experimenting and trying to make your falsetto singing sound good.

Recording yourself is important, because due to the bones in your face resonating slightly, the way you hear your voice as you speak is much different and more full sounding than how others hear it.

You could also try to cup your hands and place them over your ears so that the front of them is blocked, then push against your head to block the bone vibrations a little. This gives you more of an idea of what your voice actually sounds like but it's not perfect, so recording is better.

Getting a headset with side-tone (where it pipes the microphone directly and instantly into the headphones), is a great idea. This dongle can give this to you with a normal headset or just headphones and a microphone. This works best if the headphones are over the ear, but otherwise you can just turn up the volume of the side-tone so that it's louder than your actual voice.

Totally! I don't know where you're starting, but six months is a good amount of time to get training in. I think that most people do DIY (I did) since professional training is so expensive. The wiki has a bunch of useful information, and it seems you already know what you need to do.


The most important thing is practice practice practice. Regularly using your vocal muscles is paramount while not still not straining yourself (bad!). Like I'm talking every day if possible. Get some voice recording software and log your progress. Develop a regular regiment and stick to it. If you have the money, get a decent microphone and something to listen to listen to your own voice (such as this).


Make use of resources such as posting voice clips to here and/or the discord sever.


It will be hard, but try not to get discouraged. The hard part isn't the practice, the hard part is doing it regularly.

Thank you!! So the resources I鈥檝e found most helpful are:

This YouTube video, and this whole channel really: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iTViDd0QPEI

This book:
https://www.amazon.com/Voice-Book-Trans-Non-Binary-People/dp/1785921282

And I have a voice therapist I鈥檓 working with, which has really given me some of the guidance I was missing when I was working on this stuff solo. I鈥檇 highly recommend working with a voice therapist if you have the means, and can find one in your area or online.

Hope that helps some!

I put together a nice but budget XLR setup last year and this $18 phantom power source has been working great.

I'd personally suggest reading Whipping GirlWhipping Girl for a surface level understanding on top of taking to trans girls. There's a few details in your post that suggest you have the right idea, but definitely do need some more research - like how you used "Male to Female" as a noun, when it's an adjective (which can be slightly offensive). Also, many trans woman prefer not to identify with / as male at all, so you'd be hard pressed to find someone who calls themselves even a MtF woman in real life. I'll PM you my email for if you want to chat more!

>I have no idea how to masculinize and can't find resources. Help?

The best self help book I can recommend is here. It's written by speech pathologists. It has exercises and techniques for masculinization: https://www.amazon.com/Voice-Book-Trans-Non-Binary-People/dp/1785921282/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536189271&sr=8-1&keywords=the+voice+book+for+non+binary+trans

Welcome.

I actually started self-study voice training about the same time I started HRT, which was about a year before this became my life 24/7/365.

I hate to say it, but I haven't been able to keep at voice training consistently. The first time, I gave it up because I wasn't seeing/hearing results. I could raise my pitch and give my voice more of a lilt, but I couldn't really feminize it. After a while, my voice started bothering me less and less.

However, for various reasons, my voice started bothering me again. At this point, unfortunately all the other transition costs make it difficult for me to afford regular voice lessons. However, after the GCS I should be able to afford voice lessons.

In the meantime, I'm reading up on vocal feminization (I just bought this book), and I'm trying to figure out what will be the most cost-effective way to feminize my voice one training is again affordable for me. Hahaha, any suggestions are more than welcome.

In all seriousness, I was thinking about getting these sleep strips:

https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Strips-SomniFix-Breathing-Nighttime/dp/B076CQ1NR8

They're made for a different purpose, but I think it's exactly what I need! Provides a breathing hole, but keeps you reminded to keep your mouth closed. What do you think?

Sorry to hear that.

I'm currently reading The Voice Book for Trans and Non-Binary People, and in the opening chapters they kind of address this. I know that a "life hack" doesn't give you the voice you want, but it's helped me deal with having a meh voice for the time being.
