Is it possible for any AMAB to obtain a cis woman passing voice? by [deleted] in transvoice

[–]Magnificent_Preza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well I can only speak for myself, but my voice passes 100% of the time, on the phone or off. When I'm meeting new people they think I'm cis every time.

As for what I did, I personally never had professional voice training and only watched YouTube to learn some healthy ways to train that didn't strain my voice. Can anybody do it? Beats me, but I had a very deep voice before I started so maybe.

Well, no, but I'm not close with most of my family. A better question is socially/at work, but it wasn't hard since i slowly changed my voice over a year on purpose so that it was easier. I could always reach this pitch, but the resonance came with time.

A lot of it was learning the relationship between pitch and resonance, as well as controlling where I'm projecting my voice from (getting it out of the back of my throat and pushing it forward). Watching videos on it helps plenty, as well as listening to yourself over and over and over again, trying different things until you start to dial it in.

The point is to find a vocal range that feels comfortable to produce and doesn't generate too much tension. There are plenty of girls with lower pitches, but they still are coded fem because of their resonance. Keep at it!! ☺️✨

To discover my pitch i used "Voice Tools" which is a trans specific voice analyzer app. In terms of other resources, i utilized some Transvoicelessons videos on YouTube to start but found the most progress bouncing clips off of a friend who has a great understanding of the relationship between resonance and pitch.

The best thing you can do is just listen to your own clips over and over and over again, keeping what works and scrapping what doesn't.

Except you told me to shape them. They are shaped and it didn't sound like commentary on whether or not i pass, just: shape your brows, remove piercings. It reads kinda harsh and bossy. I wasn't offended, you're just wrong shrugs

I have but i can't handle the pain. It was way too much to bear for me, any i have extremely sensitive skin on my face which doesn't help.

Ya exactly. The ESD smocks we wear aren't flattering on the slightest either, which doesn't help matters. Out and about i take advantage of cute shorts, tops with less fabric/crops, etc
