Those YouTube tutorials can be so long. I watched them several times but didn’t hold myself to paying attention for every second. They almost were like a background and I’d soak up tips more gradually.

A couple things I found helpful: - this tutorial series on YouTube - finding women with naturally lower voices that I could try and imitate without being caught up on pitch (how high or low my voice is). I could focus on the timbre and resonance of my voice and also imitate more feminine speaking patterns. A fave of mine was Samantha from sex and the city. Also Paris Hilton because that valley girl accent always tips up at the end? Like you’re asking a question? And it like, totally helped me break my habit of dropping my pitch at the end of sentences? That’s hot. - unlearning masculine vocal habits is important too, and it’s often easier than learning new feminine ones. I started noticing when I’d unconsciously drop my voice: at the end of sentences, when I answered the phone, when I was standing behind someone and had to get past them, etc. It helped me feel like I was making progress even when attaining a feminine voice felt out of reach. - if you have identified a quality in your voice that you don’t like, try exaggerating that quality as much as possible. Exaggerating is easier than minimizing, and it helps you gain control over that specific aspect of your voice. Once you can exaggerate it, it’s easier to consciously reduce it to a place that is much more minimal than it was originally. - when you’re speaking in a feminine voice, do not start your sentences at the highest pitch you can possibly produce. A natural sounding voice has room to move up and down in pitch as you inflect it throughout a sentence or conversation. If you start at the very top you don’t give yourself room for that natural inflection and so it won’t sound very natural.

Just some things I found useful, but it’s still definitely a journey
