5 YEAR VOICE TRANSITION TIMELINE | The Evolution of My Voice

LMAOO

This might be the best comment I’ve read

U don’t have to say cud dude ur jus a biology male don’t put labels in

Bibble i wonder if this is universal, i have a southern accent ( im from MS) and i literally abhor the sound of my voice but other people say its not that bad. Those times when you wanna know peoples true thoughts.

Amber Armstrong yea, many people hate hearing their own voice including me lol

Oh good I thought it was just me

Nope, i honestly think its most people, at least anyone ive ever asked doesnt like their own voice, makes me wonder if people with voice actor quality voices do or don’t. But these videos have shown me you can change it to some extent. I was blown away with by the level of manipulation she has. Not to mention the knowledge and talent. Its enough to make you jealous.

aroused

Absolutely unbelievable!!

That’s exactly how I sound lol😂 it is so bizarre trying to talk differently. Unless you really really know how

I find it impressive. To be frank, her first attempt sounds quite androginous already - like a low voice of a young woman. Or a higher voice of a young man. It would be hard to guess the gender just by the voice, with no context tbh.

Honestly her week 1 voice sounds super pleasant to me

Yes. She spent five years or so on that. But it is like listening to Jimmy Page: practice as much as you wish, you will maybe make some progress, but do not believe that anybody can become a Jimmy Page.

yep

Dysphoria's a bitch.

Dysphoria likes to be negative with yourself

I mean, that’s kind of the whole point of criticism, which is what this video is it’s important to be able to track your growth and see it in real time like this, but it’s also good to be able to be critical of your older production (as it demonstrates thorough knowledge of the path of improvement) she didn’t really seem to be excessively negative to me beyond basic objective criticism

I completely understand the cringe and disgust she feels toward her dead voice. It's a reminder of a time in life when you felt so lost or stuck and didn't think you were ever gonna get where you wanna go!

Lol true! 😅

LMAO I'm dying

Haha

Indeed I am trans. So glad to be able to encourage you to try. You'll crush it. 💕

Archive higher pitch and more feminine voice with this effective voice highlighting tea. High in Vitamin C, vitamin B12 and Thiamine. You should try, take two weeks to hear changes and helps your throat stay unhurt whilst practicing.

ty c:

her dead voice is me and i don't like it 😾

I'm a cis boy and I wish I had her dead voice... It sounds so good

i agree! her dead voice was really nice but her voice now is so beautiful and also nice as well

@@dem.l1278 I’m a trans boy and I wish I had that voice

Thanks so much! :D

On god, I thought the first recording was a different person entirely before I rewinded and actually paid attention.

Isn't she amazing?

this is the best thing you could ever say to a transperson

I thought the same, thank you so much for sharing your work, you made me cry 🥺💓. I love you so much for giving me hope that I can sound different 💓🥺.

Ayyy! Good luck on your journey!

good luck with the journey

Training and hormonal replacement therapy. Estrogen and anti-androgens can change the anatomical structure of your vocal folds!

@@sm4shcarly244 doesn't it also gradually change skeletal structure?

doubleAAbatteries689 If one is past puberty, then probably not. Plastic surgery can definitely help create a feminine face. As far as the person in the video, she could’ve had a feminine-looking face as a male. It’s all about the genetics

Executive dysfunction sucks :( I'm a trans guy and for a while now I've wanted to deepen my voice, but I never was able to put in the time and effort to try! It's hard to try to work at something when you feel sorta alone in the situation.. (I'm not quite out yet) But I know one day I'll get to the point where I'll be happy with my voice, and I know you can get there too! It may take a bit of work and an extra push, but it's totally possible!! I hope things have gone well in the past 4 months since you commented this. You got this, girl! I believe in you!!

as a trans guy, youve got this :)

I have ADHD too and I've been struggling with the same thing as I've only come out recently as a trans woman. You got this, I believe you can do it ♥️

Wdym by baby trans

Executive function sucksssss 😩 But being trans doesn’t. We’re living proof 😎

That’s the point......

That’s like the point..

Hands, shoulders and jawline usually give it away... adams apple aswell assuming it was ever pronounced.

@@TyrooShino nahhh i cant tell grow up 😂😂

The shoulders and collarbone look odd tho

As a trans guy I can agree. Consider my mind officially blown😅

Surgery rarely even does much unless you're training at the same time. You can't depend on surgery to fix everything.

Jonah W. oml- so i can make a male voice!! AAAA-m guessing it will take time? :’)

@@Achzio Training for a masculine voice is more difficult and usually requires testosterone so that the larynx drops. I've heard it takes about 3 years.

Septuple damn.

lol! thank you :D

*subscribes and watches part of one video* "Wow, cute voice" *plays second old-voice clip* "Wow, cute voice"

its hard but well worth it :3

testosterone widens the cartillage constraining your throat and it's a one way process because cartilage never shrinks only withers it's weird

Wait silvyya? How in the world did i find you here? ​@Silvyya

Cause the default before we became male in the womb is female.

The Time Paradox

o.o no way lollll

Honestly, I was gonna say that your voice only sounded like super butch in the beginning, 'cause I know cis girls that sound exactly like that.

My voice sounds way higher than that and I've been on T for 6 months ffs

@@menacingjack i was on T for almost 9 years. give it time. :)

TransVoiceLessons why does this have 4 likes when you said you’re mtf which means you wouldn’t take T dude wut

Hey, I’m also detrans. May I ask if you had any success with voice training? Does your voice sound female now?

@@huncho2984 I ain't your bro, "bro". Now shoo, get back under your bridge, troll! Your kind ain't appreciated around here.

Arturo Ochoa Ok incel

This is such a touching message! Thank you! I’m glad I can help you find hope and greater freedom!

Campy Stuff You’ll get there 🥺

I’m a cis guy and I wish I had that first voice haha, my voice is pretty high for a cis dude

AmericanTaco same

@@TransVoiceLessons Question: you were talking about modifying R1 and I can imagine how one can squeeze it but I can't imagine how can take something small and make it bigger. Are there examples of females shifting their voice like you shifted yours but in reverse? Genuinely curious and want to learn! Thanks!

@@AntonAdelsonftm's usually have an increase in R1, the testosterone lengthens the larynx and so the voice of someone who is ftm does change with hormones, mtf people do not however since estrogen cannot shorten the R1

You work at gnc?

What is a GNC man? I tried googling but nothing relevant comes up.

@@olive8604 gnc is the initials for gender non-conforming. It means people who appear, behave, speak, etc differently from what society thinks their gender should be. An example would be a man with long hair, wearing makeup, and wearing a dress whereas society usually imagines a man would wear a suit, have short hair, and have more of a masculine look. I’m gnc and don’t conform to what society thinks I should look and act when it comes to my gender. I’m a man but I wear makeup, dresses, and a lot more typically feminine things! :) this term can be used for anyone that wishes to use it if they fit the definition.

@@taylor9683 Thank you! I actually did know what gender non-conforming meant but wasn't familiar with the abbreviation. :) I recently came out as non-binary and I think I will start dressing more GNC as I transition!

Thank you!!

Witches > bitches

I'm going to agree, absolutely Witchcraft. (This is a compliment, of course).

Grev McGrevington I originally read this comment like a compliment lmao

She really beat the male voice up 👆🏿

Science *

It's "trans women" with a space between.

@@MxPokirby okej

@@sagawennstig1140 The reason why there’s a space is because transgender is just an adjective that describes a specific group of women. When you combine the words into one word instead, it seems like you’re considering trans women something distinct from women

@@andreadamon2197 okej, I understand that. I'm Swedish, and I guess I used the Swedish spelling of the word without knowing it wasn't correct. No offence meant and I thank you for taking the time to explain :)

@@sagawennstig1140 You’re good. It’s a common mistake

Well, this can apply to you too then, if you want to raise it! :D

pitch isn’t the only indicator of gender in a voice, I’m sure yours is beautiful 👁〰️👁

@@jennywithaglock3916 of course not, just saying she can use the same material, if she wants to change something [:

👁👄👁 we love vocal fry

Hey, please don't say anything like that. For trans ppl it's really invalidating to hear thing like "my voice is deeper/higher and I'm a cis girl/boy" this just furthers the point of " you'll never be like a cis" even if you didn't mean it like that.

same, gang! rock on and good luck with progress

Ram the Cowy thank youuu you too!! I’m just watching to learn more cuz my voice is pretty deep for an afab and i like it that way cuz i don’t feel dysphoric when i feel masc which is about 10% more than fem shdbsbs i appreciate it though 💘

@@seance444 it's okay! you don't have to have dysphoria to be valid or to even want to change, as I'm sure you know 💕 im amab (but only came out to myself recently lmao 👁️👄👁️) and have a deep-ish voice which I don't have any dysphoria over either, I just thought "well this might be fun, what if I try it and end up liking it? might as well!" anyway, keep at it non-binary pal ♥️

Ram the Cowy thank you 💘💘💘 i agree, my dysphoria is more physical anyways lmao anyways HAHA thanks for the support and love 🖤🖤🖤

@@seance444 mtf here, this is the most wholesome interaction I've seen in months ♥️ keep rocking it both of you!!

Ah yes, of course

You can tell what its supposed to be, but you're not too sure whats wrong

Maybe it's just me, but with her explanations I could kind of grasp the problems in the older voices. Not intellectually at all, but intuitively

Is it a vine reference, or what ?!)

@@evgenyaleksandrov1206 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jk6jVl1fAn0.html

Yeah, it sucks ;w;

A way you show others these videos is to talk about how it helps you. "Hey, I've been watching some YT vids showing me great tips for my voice."

Wow you're such a wonderful friend good luck💖

you are such an amazing person. just know we appreciate allies like you so much 💕

you're a beautiful friend 🥺💕 good luck!

not to echo the last 3 but this is like the best youtube comment ive ever read

This comment is extra special to me, seeing you're a doom fan. Good shit, king

Thank you! It was fun reacting! I may do more stuff like this in the future. Like a.. singing voice evolution video. That'd be cool!

@@TransVoiceLessons I sound like a man and I'm a woman I hate it because all I get is negative things on it I really want to change my voice because of how Insecure I am about it too thank you so much for this! :)

I wish you the best of good luck with your transition 👍

I’m a lesbian and personally tall women own my ass. I’m sure you’re gorgeous

Hoping the best for you!! Coming from a trans guy :)

Dear IcarusBSP, I am also very tall - 6’9’’, in my mid 40s and MtF transgender. I am out to my wife (who accepts that side of me) and a few other people (who largely try to avoid the trans topic). I had strong dysphoria in 2011-14, then I managed to shove this aside for a few years, but at the cost of anger issues and depression. Now dysphoria has been back for some time and I am contemplating transitioning in some way or form over the next years. I go back and forth in my mind what that should look like. Given my height, I feel like I cannot completely give up my male “safe space”, which allows me respite from being gawked at when out as a woman. It is just tiring and frustrating after a few hours and I just feel like going home. I feel like if I made my best effort over a couple of years with voice training, make up etc, I could actually be quite beautiful and feel good about myself. But I feel that my height would always prevent that I can live a normal life as a woman. Then I consider where to create sizable female spaces in my life without making my family’s life miserable (by them suffering all kinds of prejudices). It is very hard to find an acceptable way forward. I would love to talk with you about our experiences. Maybe we can provide each other some support and maybe even find ways how each of us can move forward. Best, Jessica

@@itsjessicanow hello jessica, wishing the best for you! it's never too late to be yourself and it's definitely never too late to be happy. i know things will work out for you one way or another. hope you have a nice day and a nice life. :-)

Thank you! This is such a touching comment!

aww that’s sweet 🥺 ty you’re the second person to tell me that 😳

@@TransVoiceLessons You have cute teeth. I'm I the third you did someone else say that in the meantime?

won't lie I was focused on her teeth and voice the entire time like.. wow absolutely gorgeous.

Claire, so much is about finding the right teacher. I worked with a speech therapist for 6 months. It was mainly about working on pitch. I never gained confidence, although I made some progress. I stalled some after that, got down on my dreams of ever being happy with my voice. I then found someone who has skills similar to Zhea. After just a few sessions, I am making strides both in understanding of what I'm doing and in actually doing the correct things. I now believe that the right guidance is key to not wasting a lot of time. Progress is quicker than I thought it could be. I don't mind the hard work when I can see the right things progressing.

*INTERNET SLAPS YOU*

dont hold back! im 34 and JUST about to start HRT...if you know your truth, then just live your true self! i wish i took the leap of faith earlier, but i think i see a reason for everything...a big one being that i have the most understanding wife :) shes amazing so it really grounds me and lets me know my life path was all for a big reason! anyway, do you!

This is such a touching comment. Thanks so much. I'm blessed to have known you all these years. Sending good vibes to you as always.

congrats on that!

I'm so happy for you! If you go for it all the way, know it will be a tough journey, but you absolutely *deserve* to find inner peace and comfort with who you truly are. Fight for that. Good luck to you, my friend.

You'll do great!! There are all types of people here cis, trans, women, men, nbs, bigender people, etc and we can all relate to struggling with voice and how society treats us from it. Just be sure it's what you want and not what others want for you. :)

mickey oh I mean yeah, but they’re trying to improve their voice and that’s great

mickey oh dude, this is the second comment that I see you saying the same thing. What’s is your problem which the world “cis”?.

TransVoiceLessons omg why are you like so nice and also thanks

mickey oh man, I don’t understood your response, could you reformulate your comment?

You're not alone. People make us feel so insecure that we're scared to be truthful to ourselves.

Yes absolutely.

Woman to man detransitioners. Female/Male is your sex and can't be changed.

Thanks so much! This really means a lot.

okay this is actually hilarious. That said, I love my cis audience. They are really trying 🥺🥺 lol

To be honest, this is the same, except for Vegans and LGBT+ people in non-LGBT/Vegan videos.

They a lil confused, but they got the spirit

@Shay Patel But it isn't reversed. So theres no "outrage" no matter what

probably cos they want you to know that the information isnt only interesting within the trans community, they have support everywhere.

So glad to hear this was helpful! Try to think less about voice like a set of instructions of things to do and more like exploration. It may help you!

Glad it helps! Best of luck in your journey.

you go!!! you can do it

I am too! I hope everything goes well.

You go girl! Yes! 💅✨

Amazing progress!

🐄

Thank you! 🥺 I really appreciate your message.

btw!! make an insta!!

@@HiHi-bl2np Thanks so much!! I'm sooo glad I'm able to help you. It really brings me such joy to hear from adolescent GNC people who are getting started on this stuff early. I also do have an instagram but rarely post. Here it is: instagram.com/digital.harmonic/

@@TransVoiceLessons Love your Instagram pics. You have the cutest nose. :P

I am in the exact same situation!!! Same ages and everything

Sooo glad this was helpful for you!

I'd like to do a video on switching between voices sometime too! I think that'll help y'all. :)
