Don't over clench, or if 'clenching is causing issues simply replace it with the word 'raising'. there is a sweet spot when doing the exploration, it will raise the larynx while not being uncomfortable, experiment! Tread gently and i really hope this video helps!
After a couple days of trying I have come to realize that while I already had some level of Larynx control already (having tried to imitate women even before my egg cracked as I like to sing along to feminine songs), I seem to really struggle a bit with these excercises. Well most of them. The humming one is super easy. I can basically skip the chest and mouth and hit the nose tone right away if I try. But its been 2 days, obviously too early to call it quits. But luckily, unlike the friend that smashed my eggshell with a brick, I already had quite high resonance for a guy to begin with. I just also have a quite low pitched one too. xD
I'd like to ask you something Claire. Is it possible to get this video split up into smaller fragments so it becomes easier for my transfem friend to digest (and possibly be good for when I am out and about). I have no issues with jumping back and fourth, but they are hit hard by their ADHD so it becomes a struggle for them to pay attention unless it's direct on the point and short. Even if only as downloadable format would be great. You have the right to refuse of course, but in that case I hope I have your blessing to cut the video up myself.
I HAVE ONE GOAL, AND ONE GOAL ONLY Secretly learn a skill that's so strange that none of my friends will have even attempted it, but also is mildly surprising and/or impressive if done well.
I am learning this to jumpscare my friend at 2 am by acting like I’m out Cold at a sleepover and commiting to the most passionate female moan possible while he’s on the phone with a family member (we do a little trolling)
I am a native Chinese speaker and I can say this is very good and god level compared to Chinese tutorials I found on youtube. I’m glad that I can understand english and follow your tutorial
Yeah, knowing english makes you have acess to almost infinite knowlodge on the internet nowadays, my case is portuguese, its not bad but its not the best either, we have some really great content, elementar, impera, abraham but still really good to consume some diferent cultures.
Straight af adult male here. I've been researching voice acting and throat and voice exercises lately, and I gotta say, your advice is spot on. Will be using this. Great job. Also, you sound like an absolute sweetheart. Keep up the good work😁
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel, I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Their kind cling to their flesh, as if it will not decay and fail them. One day the crude biomass that they call a temple will wither, and they will beg our kind to save them. But I am already saved, for the machine is immortal...
I'm a harsh vocalist, which has indirectly helped me with both voice acting and feminine voice training. I already have amazing larynx and resonance control.
Update: I underestimated how deep my voice really is and IT'S BEEN HARD AF. But as a side effect of doing these high pitched exercises IT GOT FRIGGIN DEEPER. It seems that developing the higher register makes the vocal folds and chords more flexible, resulting in a more controlled low end. I gained like two singing semitones down and my normal lower end got "fuller". Anyone of you experienced something like this? Is becoming a femboy the true path to become a Chad? /s
for my fellow neurodivergent trans girls; I kno it's really really hard to stick to this, but you're gonna feel great in the long run. you've got this!
Hi hello. I am here because someone told me sound like my father, who’s voice is on par with action star vin diesel. I now must collect the full vocal range like infinity stones. Never again.
i am a dude, and by no means trans, but I am a DM for DND so this can still hopefully help. might help me get more control of my voice so I get rid of my lisp as well, only time will tell.
I am a trans woman that got into DMing d&d specifically so I could get face to face practice with other voices in front of my friends before I was out. Happy to see cis DM's embracing making their NPCs more varied vocally as well. Good luck!
I hate hearing my voice, but I oddly like the idea of the recording because of one reason. It feels like I’m confronting my dysphoria. I’m looking directly at a part I don’t like and saying “I can do this.” To me, it’s poetic
I may not or want to be trans, but i will add this to my collection And I will participate in mild tomfoolery to troll people online I wish everyone here good luck in their voice training
There are two main types of people here. The people how plan on using a girl voice in daily life (trans) and the people who use a girl voice in online meetups (troll) I fall into the category of hoping that one day, I will be able to switch effortlessly between the two for Dnd acting and vrchat trolling
bro, this was the most complete tutorial on yt about this. You abranged so many details! I think the most important part was that it has (almost) nothing to do with the pitch, and mostly with the resonance and nasalization of the sounds. Also, good choice to talk about the key phrases to resume progress. Good work, after all.
no way new Yukko video just dropped Sure's a shame i have no throat control my dnd sessions will never have good voices (the only reason I'd ever watch one of these videos)
@@YukkoEX fantasy is very fun, dragons are epic, all the classes and races make every character unique and all that good stuff, it's a shame that since I (for some mysterious totally unexplainable reason) play exclusively female characters I'll never be able to truly do good voices for them. Maybe in a few years I'll be able to come back to this video and get it right, all will be good in the world (assuming some fascist politician in my country doesn't ban all TVT on RU-vid to force people to use their bornvoice)
I love d&d, and looking back, with all the d&d things, but also some irl things, I should have known I was trans a long time ago, but at least I have some voice control fundamentals.
@@Iwan._ Just be respectful of trans people while you're messing around. It's okay to do it for fun, but remember that trans people are doing it to sound more like themselves.
Hey, um, thank you. I found you recently, and I'm glad I did. You are so funny and smart, and I'm glad I found someone that can parasocially help with my transition
Please please please do NOT tense muscles intentionally ever; this can and likely will lead to primary muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) which can completely cripple a voice and require years of careful training to fix. I'm a voice teacher and have spent the last 4 years doing little other than try to fix these issues people face when voice training. Unfortunately it's super common due to still lingering assumptions about being able to physically move stuff around in the throat. Please trust me on this, if you can feel a muscle flexing, you're doing it wrong, and developing bad habits. If you get fatigue after less than 30min of speaking, tell your doctor and/or see an SLP as they're the only ones allowed to diagnose you with MTD. SOVTEs e.g. lip trills are good as a way to reduce the effect, but they can't fix or prevent it, only not tensing in the first place can.
@@micahfoley9572 Tensing the voice in general can mean lots of things, I'm more meaning in the context of the video where it's tensing individual muscle groups. Tension is bad, but tensing muscles individually is much worse.
@@micahfoley9572 Sadly my previous reply got deleted for some reason. Hopefully you saw it, but just in case; basically you should not feel that training your new voice is any more effortful than *using* your old voice. That is, if you notice more effort than normally speaking, that's too much in most cases. Trans voice is a coordination thing, not a muscle thing, so you shouldn't notice muscle use.
I'm not transgender myself, but I usually watch voice training videos and queer realated stuff with a friend of mine so her parents don't catch her because they are deep in the transphobic hole, and man, it facinates me how the trans online community in general is so nice. Ms Yukko, thanks on behalf of my friend for doing content like this, you've played part on saving a life, I'm not joking, and I'm sure there are many more transfems out there that are that feel the same. May this comment please the alrgoriths gods.
I myself only became, at least accepting, (there have been many small signs now that I think back to my childhood) Myself as trans when I got my Quest 2 for Christmas and jumped into a female avatar like I always picked in video games, but got some weird reactions when they heard my voice, but it was more fun for me than picking a male avatar, and then I learned about the Trans Academy VR Chat world, and I had never interacted with Trans People before and was very uneducated on what it's all about, but I was absolutely amazed by how nice everyone is, and it was a place where I didn't get any weird looks and was invited to places, finally accepted. Anyways, I am a person who only recently realized that I was trans, but I very much agree with your statement about how they are nice, and I feel so much happier now that I'm not bound to acting in only professional expected ways and can truly express myself instead of having to bind myself with chains of what's expected of me. I can sound cute, I can look cute, I can be a girl! I identify as Gender fluid since I still need to have a mask I can put up since I'm in a transphobic community, but discovering and exploring this other side of myself that I have had all along is very exciting! Suddenly the world regained its color that had started to fade away. I thank you as well for making this video very much!
1.) this is like the perfect compilation of all the best tips from the voice tutorials I've seen 2.) the sighing and yawning bits are so helpful, thank you so much 3.) I forgot what it was, so I'll instead just say, this is just great, absolutely love it
That's actually the best guide i've ever watched Very detailed explanations with images to best understand it + exercises and tips to make sure we don't hurt ourselves This is the full package and i love it!
to yukko, this video is going help me so much not only with my self-evaluation but also my discipline (adhd, autism, crippling existential dread, and the internet have ruined my ability to perform tasks) so thank you so much!! this is something i’ve needed for a while now for so many reasons, and you teach this in such an intuitive and comprehensive way! and to youtube, please never jump scare me like that ever again by pulling from my google searches
Random pitch tip: pluging ONE ear and resting a fingertip on ur voice box gives you WAY better feedback while flailing around with new pitch techniques :3
Drink warm (not hot) milk with honey, helps with the throat, also stay away from caffeine while doing it since it can dehydrate. P.S. WATER (mild if possible) IMPORTANT
Weeeellll NOW ye tell me, lmao. I needed a cuppa before I could speak anything but gruntgrunt, but I like the milk alternative to water. What I wonder is, would cough drops help or no...
I have adhd and the crackhead energy you’re serving is keeping me insanely invested. First video I actually could watch without getting bored and not paying attention
Thank u so mutch iv bin lost and struggling for so long and I didn't know if I'll ever find my voice but I'm starting to find it with ur help this means the wold to me ;3;
I've trained on and off for years. Enough to seem fem but not enough to "pass." I've even had appointments with speech therapists before. This is the *ONLY* source I ever *EVER* found that's explained resonance to me in a way that I can understand. Just doing one round of these exercises helped my voice immeasurably, quite possibly a life-changing video.
thank you so much. I just started with your guide and I started off recording right away. I could create one "ung" sound that really hit my heart. you're the best
OK, lemme just start off by saying, I'm a straight male, and always have been, but this is actually so helpful!!! I like to do voice acting when I play dnd with friends and I have been trying to be able to do female voices forever and could never quite get it, but just after watching this I got closer then I ever could before, female voices were always hard because my voice is rather gravelly and it is hard to hide that part, But seriously thanks so much, this video made it so much easier!!! EDIT: I just use the voice mod hear myself function with very good sound isolating headphones to practice it, I am hitting high notes I never thought I could, thanks again!!!
Seeing this video really made me emotional. It's so beautiful that transgender folks have a community where they can help and support each others. I felt so lonely when I started to transition and the more I partake in the community, the more I feel overwhelmed with beautiful emotions. (That might be because I started HRT last month lol). You were one of the influencers that helped me the most during hard times and when I wanted to give up, so thank you Yukko, you really changed my life for the better
Honestly I can see this being super useful for my DM'ing! I struggle to do voices for female characters and I don't want an unrealistic world of all male characters yk?
As a vocalist, I found this really helpful, since it allowed me to implement the skills id already learned into making my voice more passable, and while it still has a long way to go this helped a lot (I meaning I guess being a vocalist who is taught to control their tone definitely helps in the long run, especially when you need to swap into a male voice if acting sometimes)
See, it's funny because I have been spending 50 USD on professional voice lessons and after 2 months I have only learned as much as this video has taught me 5 minutes in! Honestly thank you so much for this Yukko, this is awesome
Thank you so much, I've been looking for a good tutorial for voice training and you've made without a doubt, my personal faveroute and best video i have ever seen. Keep up the great work queen 💜
Honestly surprising how quickly the throat muscles get sore from trying the exercises. It doesn't feel like much is happening, but those subtle changes matter a lot.
Definitely a handy guide to work with, apparently I've been doing some of these unconsciously over the years so already feels like I have progress going. Thanks Yuuko, great work!
It took me this long to realize I already knew how to do girl voice I was just too stupid to realize sooner that girl voice is the same voice I would use to voice child characters when I played with my toys as a kid. You go high, but not so high as to strain your vocal cords, and then you practice talking like that on a normal basis and boom. Child voice has become girl voice. Its also the same thing but backwards that I did as a teen to deepen my voice. Weird that 10 years ago I was so desperate to deepen my voice faster and now I'm trying to lighten it again. 😂
these vids r just random blurting for desperate young ppl, really reminds me of change ur race tiktok watch anime eat noodles you'll become Japanese and your eyes physically change. the only correct thing about this vid is that you're straining you vocal cords and you shouldnt do it a lot (then tells you to practice a lot 0
All I have to say is thanks for this, its a greatly appreciated, well put together all in one package. Especially coming from the Minecraft disaster its honestly made my day. Keep up the hard work but don't forget to rest too! ❤
Thanks for making this video. I don't really have many resources locally, so just figuring out what exercises I'm supposed to be doing is such a huge help. And I just realized that I haven't heard a recording of my voice since I was a teenager, so I have literally no idea what I actually sound like to other people. Here's hoping it doesn't drive me too crazy.
When I first saw this video in my feed I was scared to click on it since all the other videos I've watched on the topic were difficult for me, especially since I have a really hard time to breathe through my nose while talking, but this video was a great starting point for me. Thank you ♥
I just watched this for the 1st time. I was worried that I couldn't feel the muscles but by the end my throat felt tired but not strained and I am very excited to start training. Thank you for this video.
This is probably one of the best videos on this topic I've come across. Fun fact about the "sigh in the back of your throat" tip is those folds are behind your tonsils (if you have them). Another exercise to flex them is to make a very satisfied, "aaah" as if you just took a refreshing drink of water. Play around with how tight and how high you place that, and you can get some squeaky noises. If you bring the folds together so they touch, you can cough through them and get some really high-pitched screamed distortion.
Me hitting that siren noise and realizing I sound just like a tornado siren? (I live in the great plains, it's the song of my people so I know it well) My brain instantly pulled one of those freakouts cats have where they get scared and try fluff up, arch their backs, do a 180 turn, leap for the ceiling, and run away... all at once. Made me lmao afterwards. But seriously! I've been subbed here for a while now, I've been pursuing transition (mtf) for a year now, and finally yesterday: after delays getting the right doctor, right clinic, and my pharmacy having my spiro ready, I just took my first dose of T blocker yesterday. I normally don't tear up when I take pills but I did that time. Still, knowing I had to get on the ball about training early - because I know I'll have days where I just say "Fuck it, too (blank) to do it today", maybe too often (stupid adhd) - if I want to be ready I need a head-start. Also because I've heard many say they wished they had started earlier - heard loud and clear! And TA DA this magic video pops out today, right when I was ready to go! Thank you so much for this, and thanks for all your great videos and shorts. I really can't thank you enough, and while I can't promise I'll have a lot of food ready for you when the next meme video appears (I'm usually broke lol), I can promise I'll try. For now, back to the video that's teaching me how to hum like a tornado siren... 😅🧡
Thank you so much!! Its really helped me a lot and now i plan to keep up with my voice training because its always so hard to watch voice training vides with adhd because i loose interest very fast but because i watch all your animations and videos it helped me keep interest in the video and actually learn something i just wanted to say thank you again for being so helpful and so nice :3
14:46 Deathcore vocalist here; as someone who took time learning to take my voice to extremes I cannot stress this enough, don’t force things. You’ll get it eventually but it takes time, your voice can be surprisingly fragile so listen to your body! Good luck ^_^
I paused the video before Yukko said "don't hold your swallow" because I wanted to do it along and now my throat hurts, 10/10 tutorial tho, but my throat hurts because of my 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎
Don’t know what drew me to this video, but it was kinda fun trying to practice making a higher pitch voice, especially since I have a naturally very deep voice that makes it easy to imitate Corpse. My mouth and throat are very tired now though lol. Probably straining too much. Keep up the good work. I’m sure this video will help out a lot of trans girls feel more themselves. Gonna send it to my friend who started transitioning a couple months back.
This seems like a great guide! For everyone trying to practice girl voice, I believe in you 💚 I just wanna mention that, for some people, especially with ADHD, self-discipline doesn't work. Discipline is probably part of your motivation (which encompasses all the reasons why you do things), and if so, that's great! However, others like me have to find their motivation elsewhere, and telling them they just need discipline might lead to self-esteem issues and depression when it inevitably doesn't work. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for the work you do!
