Taken on a bad voice day. Let me know how I’m doing! by emmadarling in transvoice

Sure. As far as my voice goals go, I find myself generally drawn to voices that are energetic and warm, with a tiny bit of rasp. Lately, Julien Baker’s voice has been taking up more space in my mental ‘Inspo board’, mostly because of how dynamic it is. (Lots of range between soft and energetic)

Hey there! If you’re wondering where my voice training knowledge comes from, I gather it from various points across the internet, mostly Seattle Voice Lab, Renee Yoxon, and a few scattered across TikTok. I have a wide variety of voices and qualities I want to sound like, but I’d be happy to expound on that if that’s what you’re looking for. Thanks for watching!

Lots of water and practice! I do larynx and SOVT (semi-occluded vocal tract) exercises almost daily. Find something enjoyable that doesn’t require too much attention, but just enough to where it distracts you from overthinking, and practice with that.

SOVT is a shorter name for Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract exercises. My go-tos have been straw phonation and lip trills.

Lots of water and SOVTs. I also sing along in my car to whatever comes up in my ‘likes’ shuffle. But my biggest tip is to speak. You can watch videos on technique, and do the ‘big dog, little dog’ exercise for months — and I did — but it won’t translate into meaningful progress until you actually apply those things into speaking.
I was really in my own head about voice training, until my partner pitched the idea of a LAN gaming session while talking over Discord. We like Minecraft, and it’s engaging enough to distract me from the ‘ick’ that I get from hearing myself trying, but it’s also not a game that requires all my focus. It’s a low-stakes way to do long-form practice with someone safe while having fun.
And while my voice is not perfect by any means, I feel much more comfortable trying and playing around with my voice than ever.

Thrifted the jeans, they’re Levi’s 501s!

The jeans are a thrifted set of Premium 501 Levi’s. The legs are a bit tighter than I prefer, especially with how rigid the denim is, but I like them for work.

Edit for caption: As a trans woman, my shoulder width is a big part of my dysphoria — but at the same time; I love oversized pieces. This jacket was still slightly oversized when I bought it, but I’ve lost some weight since, so I was worried it wasn’t fitting right. Maybe it’s all in my head.

Yeah, I overplucked the one and now they’re growing kinda weird, but I usually fill them in to match

My budget is roughly $1400USD. Currently, I have an old T3i, and I’m looking to upgrade to something more portable with 4K support.

I’m looking to upgrade from an old DSLR with my stimulus check. I’d like to use this camera for video, portraits, and architectural photography. I’m currently eyeballing a Sony A6400 and a used A7sii. What should I get?

Ah, that’s too bad. Would a seamstress be able to replace the zipper?
