/voicegen/ voice general for voices under training and otherwise
prev: >>40419121

>what is /voicegen/?
/voicegen/ is primarily a general made for trans people on /lgbt/ to share recordings of their voices so as to get feedback, advice, or opinions, to help achieve the voice they want. This does not mean that you must be trans to post! Remember that this is a community-led thread and not a source for professional advice; please be kind to one another!

>how do I post?
It's easy - just record yourself on vocaroo.com, rate others in the thread, and post! That last point is very important - to keep the thread alive and ensure engagement, it is strongly recommended to NOT respond to those who don't do their part, as it is very impolite and leads to threads dying. You need not be an expert; trying your best is all we ask! Even a simple rating can be helpful.

>how do I get started?
There are several ways! You're always welcome to ask for advice here, and there is a wealth of video and written resources available online. However, we tend to believe that there is no alternative to repeated practice and reflection, so exercises that advertise "get a passing voice quick" tend to be confirmation bias from people with a great natural ability to control their voice.
That said, some channels to watch are:
Zoey Alexandria (rip)
TransVoiceLessons

>what do I read?
What we would recommend is to vary what you read aloud - this might be divided into three broad categories:
- flat reading, as if you were reading to an audience, in a neutral, affectless way, usually to focus more on things like pitch or resonance, and less on things like cadence, diction, or intonation
- voice acting, as in you find some piece of media to act: do intonations, try different voices, have fun! Edge Studio is a known resource for texts such as these.
- talking, as in just talking as yourself: improvise, imagine a conversation!

>>40473100 u sound totally cis pitch a little low but it's fine

>>40474246 ur pitch is great desu i don't think being higher would sound more natural/passable. are you australian?

sounds good but i think you need to lighten and open the sound more. i think it’s called knodel or smth but it will help. also resonance should be a bit more in head and less breathy.

>>40476108
this is a big mistake everyone makes. the reason ur voice is so nasally is because ur trying to push it higher and ur pushing it into ur nose. try resonating from the front of ur mouth near ur teeth.

your voice has a nice quality. it has a low "bottom" and feels andro but leans fem and could easily be made into just a girl voice
it sounds like you hate the rainbow script and you're trying to get it over with as fast as possible lol

>>40474246
pass/borderline, I think only because your tone is pretty flat so my brain doesn't sort it right away
are you comfortable inflecting? might be something to play with

>>40476108
this sounds really good! keep the f-slur away from your pretty face please :(
right on the edge of just being a throatier woman's voice
maybe work on smoothing out the sound but good job

ur voice has a bit of a low resonance try speaking from the front of your head. you can look upwards and sit up straight to help that just put your hand on your chest and try your best to stop it from vibrating as much as possible.

also yes i do hate the rainbow script it makes me sound stupid

sounds good to me, but a little forced sounding maybe due to forcing the accent

(pretty long but u can kinda skip around it, just rambled for a bit while letting my voice drift to try and see if any parts sound better/worse, then included guyvoice at the end for reference and/or lulz)

Posted in a previous thread but didn't really get replies with much of an idea of how i could improve, just people sorta agreeing that i sound kinda like a smoker aunt or something, lol.

>>40481138
u sound great, hard to imagine it even being hard for ya, hah! Very jealous...

>>40478168
if ur pre-t then ur probs gonna have no problem if you do ever get on it, you already sound mostly like a dude or at a couple times a bit of "teenage boy trying to sound deeper than his voice really is", which is probably an amazing place to be when that's the absolute low end of that clip while the high end is just like a lotta guys that I've heard.

>>40482723
nah the entire thread mogs me!!!!!! u included, I get why u feel there's still progress to be made b/c there probably is, but there's absolutely some cis women who sound like that.

Always feels so cursed that I can voice act rather well... but exclusively with male voices, while I feel like fem voice I really haven't made progress in after initially figuring this zone out like 2 or 3 months back. I still don't know how I even figured out whatever I'm managing right now, which has me mega paranoid combined with how I feel like even at my best I don't sound very fem or natural.
Anonymous No.40484113 >>40484200
Do you ever wake up and can't do your fem voice at all? Today is one of those days. Not saying I do it well at all, but it's really hard and I feel like I'm straining my voice and taking ten steps backwards from the day before.

Pitch is good, so is weight though a bit whispery. Mostly resonance to my ears is the issue. Could pass depending on the situation
>>40483516
Passes to me. Sounds like you are doing that strained thing on purpose so probably just a technique issue.

for being pre-T you sound really good! you could give it some more resonance and oomph but it is not bad at all.
>>40481138
>>40484200

>>40482723
pretty good aside from the nasality! that is the only thing i can pick out :)
>>40483516
you sound fine lol. i also have a but of a gravely voice but it's not hurting your passability at all :)
>>40484421
sorry about work nona :( at least you can find a little solace in knowing you pass as cis ;p
i don't actually think your voice is very monotone but i can't tell with these things so who knows..you sound nice anyways
>don't know what you said
mostly: "let's see...bread with grain; bread with wheat; bread with grain and wheat; bread with some grain but almost no wheat; bread with a bit of grain and a shit-ton of wheat; grain and wheat with some bread; ah, here we are: flaxseed bread, like astronauts eat!"
it's not a joke i get though lole
maybe because i do not make bread

yay I can jive with being a boyish girl on my not-great days
so the tone and quality of your voice are great
do you sing, or have you ever?
that would be a great way to practice modulating your pitch and noticing what it feels like
dual-screen a YouTube video with a pure tone of a common note, and then use a pitch detector in another screen to check if you're matching it
raise and lower your pitch smoothly between two tones
basically just play with that part of your voice
you can also just download Voice Tools which has a built-in tone creator and tuner that will tell you your hz

Baby tranner here. It's genuinely hard to go for longer than 10 seconds, and even more so to get to a point where you have an actual "voice", I'm not sure how to describe it but where it's no longer breathy but has actual texture and substance, I guess? How long has it taken you all to get to where you are? I listened to a few random ones in this thread and I feel like all of you have fantastic voices :3
Anonymous No.40490383
>>40487901
youre projecting all of your voice through your nose. relax your your voice, try speaking from where your teeth are, and put your hand on your chest and try to talk while vibrating it as little as possible. eventually youll learn how to talk through your head comfortably

>>40489781
omg dont worry i was exactly exactly like you. basically what i realized is that i am not actually speaking any different i am just kinda putting a sheen on a male voice. what you have to do is fully scrap and restart. what your doing is pushing the air to your head not your resonance. my biggest advice is to sit up straight, hand on your chest and just try and pla y around to see if you can get the resonance to go into your head. not a falsetto, this is more of a singing voice.

this is my first attempt at voice training about 1 year ago
https://voca.ro/1fIiNq4IYNTy

also another huge huge tip i got was to use a vocal fry to patch up any points where you sound like you're breaking, it really really helps keep it going for longer and makes it much more comfortable.

never give up anons !
