Was just wondering what aspects of your voice you're currently working on?

My issue is mostly that I drop my pitch a bit too low, which invites a heavier weight and sounds too masculine to my ears.

How about you?

My comfortable pitch range is very narrow, so I have a hard time sounding super enthusiastic. Not sure if training like a singer would to boost their range is what I need, but that's my idea.

my understanding is that you can indeed train higher pitches ... where I struggle is with actually using and producing those higher pitches in a natural way - they require more abdominal engagement, I'm more likely to falter or my voice to crack, and in general I struggle to sound as normal or natural - but it's still a good idea to do pitch slides and sustains to help you produce those high pitches anyway

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.
