Hi! This community exists as a place for trans people of all genders (or gender fluidity, or non-binary etc.) to help them overcome the challenges of being able to speak normally as their preferred gender. Upload audio clips, screenshots from analyzers, or what ever you feel like in order to get feedback and help perfected the voice you have into a state where you are comfortable.

Rules

These are going to be fairly open, since I trust that most posts here are seeking genuine help.

No shaming. This should be obvious. People are looking for help and advice here.
Absolutely no transphobic rhetoric will be tolerated. One warning (with a timeout), then a ban.
If you post an audio file, keep it SFW. We don't need to hear that stuff.
Keep criticisms pertinent and overall kind. Part of this whole thing is practice. We shouldn't expect immediate improvement.
This is a zero politics zone. If you bring them up, goodbye.
No slurs (I hate that I feel this is necessary)
If you have negative feedback, do so in a constructively respectful manner while remembering that this kind of thing is a journey and can't be immediate.
This being the internet, help with voice mod stuff is encouraged. It can make a huge difference for someone with voice dysphoria if others hear them they way they wish to sound.
These rules are not necessarily exhaustive, and if you are generally a jerk or toll, expect a ban

Welcome! As I find them, I will be linking resources in this sidebar.

I think I know what you are referring to, but am not sure how to address it ;-;

honestly I think it might be a combination of pitch falling back and its influence on weight - it just reads a bit heavy to my ears, and there might be some minor inconsistencies with resonance, but honestly I have a hard time separating brightness from pitch perceptually

Feel free to tag me if you make a new recording!

I have significantly fewer pitches to express myself.

same girl, ugh - it is such a huge pain to be unable to be as expressive as I want because my voice will break if it goes to high, and that leads me to become insecure and not even be as expressive as I could be!

I still think within your pitch range you probably have enough room for more pitch variation within the pitches you're speaking at, the clip came across as in that fuzzy area bordering flat or monotone at times (but definitely wasn't monotone, for sure). Regardless it's not that important, stuff like that is far less important than weight and size / resonance.
