How does it feel to know that you are the answer to so many people around the world without ever having seen any in person? All who participate in the channel, congratulations. you are leaving a positive impact on the world...For that...thank you so much...
due to living in FL I'm in the process of detransitioning (a long journey but one I've ultimately grown comfortable with. I know who I am and no one can take that from me and thats what matters) and so my voice is something I have been the most stressed about. That first mimic exercise literally put into context the FINAL piece I was trying to fix in my voice that no other video was able to do for whatever reason. Thank you so much, not the most ideal reason to need these videos but I'm grateful they exist
For a moment I thought Clover was going to sing Hello from Adele I like that Clover didn’t focus to a specific goal and explained this at a very basic level, more ppl may benefit from this video
Hi Clover! Thank you for the video. Recently, I find myself mimicking any voice I come across that sounds close to the me in the slightest. Some days I’ve found I’m practicing for hours. It’s almost like a game at this point. I’ve found that it adds a layer of fun to the whole process that is refreshing. This channel has been a game changer for me. I can’t thank the TVL community enough.
this is so well explained, thank you so much. my family keeps telling me to stop voice training because I just sound silly and weird, but I wont give up! :)
Be encouraged Lil sisters and new sisters (Me too: i sound silly) Most of our YT coaches have timeline video testimonials that showcase their efforts and goals that they have improved Knowing that they can no longer reach as deep as their Testosterone voice was, is a huge girlie encouragement
I have a discouraging group of church friends that would say anything to make me stop. I know that my friends aren't hate mongers. But they don't understand how a brain can feel mismatched in the wrong body. They have gender brains that match their assigned gender, I used that terminology in 1988 before I ever heard it on TV I feel like these tools help balance my incongruences , is that a word
watching these videos has really given me the confidence to actually try adjusting my voice and it's so nice to have a calming safe channel to come to. really really can't express how grateful i am to have found you guys. thanks so much for the video, Clover!
@@kumicables DW Pushing through is definitely possible! I wrote the entire explanation of the video into my notebook because I kept tuning their voice out. And it works. Take a while but slow but steady progress
@@lunausagi8495 I've been trying to reach out to Zhea and ask her to add subtitles to the videos for a while a few years ago. Not much came out of it. I think she's just really busy. Maybe you can catch her on a live stream or on her Discord server though, you get access to both if you support her on Patreon in the appropriate tiers
I really appreciate the explanations given here. I have been struggling to grasp what any of these weight terms actually refer to. This helped clarify things a little. I still don't think I really get it entirely, but I feel more confident in my ability to eventually understand.
Literally every video on this channel is life-changing in and of itself. This video is the same. I can already hear a difference in my voice after doing the exercises just a few times. Clover's demonstrations are really engaging and easy to follow. Bless you guys and thank you!
Hi! I feel this channel is a wonderful idea. all the content is great and also very clear and you explain with awesome exercises. Congrats and thank you so much, this channel is so interesting and inspiring to me. 🎶🎤💫✨✨✨💛
I've been needing some new motivation for voice training and this video addresses a trouble that I have had a while, so I'm happy to have something new to practice with!
i am extremely thankful you disponibilized these tuturials for free. the problem is, im progressing way more in english than in my native language. I haven't been able to make my voice sound as close to what i want in my native language as i am in english
I have to comment. I sat on a piano. I tried to figure out what the pitch of your voice is, on the demonstration at 11:00 You landed on a perfect "Be Natural"
I love you, Zhea. Before stumbling into her channel, I used to think that feminizing my voicewould be almost impossible for me. But thanks to you Zhea,.... now I see that while it may be difficult, with knowledge, time, and practice it is finally realizeable for me.
Thank you, that was a great tutorial! Love your gentle approach, your happy character and super smile. I just loved that singing approach and I surprised myself, I broke into the hymn "Abide with me" and it sounded amazing! I'm hooked, please do more!
Hello! First of all, love your work in general and your music. Which is actually why I'm asking this question: what's the title of your intro and where can I find it? It. is. FIRE.
Thanks for this video Clover :3 I really dont like voice training, I was not doing it for a year because I pass pretty much but I don't like my sound like this, I don't like saying this but it sounds a little bit much queer, other lgbt people do understand that I am trans and I kinda don't like that, I wanna find a much more feminine voice. I hope I will find the energy to come back to these videos every day. I also found this video very fun too! Thanks a lot again
what do i do if i cant reduce my voice's weight? every time i even get close to a lighter sound my voice cuts into a falsetto and its really discouraging :(
Wow clover demonstrated pitch near my lowest note (I'm a bass), that makes me feel a little better about how my voice training might go, maybe I really do just need to practice I just got to figure out how I'll find the time and private space to do it.
Great video, just want to say that Clover's voice is too low in volume compared to the music, which means I constantly have to turn the volume up and down so I can hear what they're saying and also not hurt my ears. Again, fantastic video, just a small complaint.
I would say the first sound is triangular, as in how you would name the tone (sine tone, sawtooth tone, etc) and the second sound is more of a square tone.
Clover, thank you. Have you ever tried to help someone with cerebral palsy in addition to her gender issues? I feel like I can get started correctly, but maintaining a good voice seems very difficult for me. Do you have any suggestions?
I only recently started doing vocal exercises and training and as mentioned in the video was breathiness in the voice. After thinking about it and paying closer attention, I realized that I have always done that when speaking. Part of it is probably because I dont really talk all that much naturally so I.. I dont really know how to fix that bit of issue i have been looking into it but seem to not be able to find an issue to this if anyone could help or point me in the correct direction PS: These videos are rather wonderful
Clover thank you SO MUCH I'm in tears because this video has made it so much clearer what and how I should be working on my voice. I can't WAIT to see more thank you thank you thankyou xxxxx
thanks clover I was pleasantly surprised to see you! but a question I have is how can one counter when going light and not sounding fake or being too quiet? Or maybe you need some brightness to be louder and not fake sounding? I also struggle with being bright or having I guess a smaller resonating chamber, thanks again for the video!
Thank you! Check out our video on Fullness. It may answer your question! Eliminating the hollowness from a voice typically involves changing the resonance to produce a perceptually smaller quality. However, fakeness is much more complex and sometimes exists just due to new-ness with a skill. :)
I'm new to this, but from what I've found it's about practice and strengthening the cords. That doesn't mean forcing it though - it's more about gently strengthening over time. The video on this channel called "Voice Feminization for ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS How to get started now" is really good. The current video we're replying on is like tips and tricks, verbally telling you ideas. The one I just mentioned has a bunch of exercises to get started with. I've found it super helpful already, hopefully you will too. There's at least 1 exercise in there about finding the point where it seems like you can't make a proper tone - it seems like you can't keep the tone because you're used to making it with a heavy "buzzy" sound. I'm not explaining it well... but watch that video from the beginning and try the practices in order! It's so useful. And also, top tip: if your voice starts to feel strained or painful, don't push it. I know it's tempting to keep practicing. But one day you'll be able to do it without discomfort at all. You don't wanna hurt yourself and have to wait several days before you can try again! (Speaking from experience... sounding deeper for a few days because I pushed too hard was NOT the plan lmao)
Hello I'm trying this rn but i don't get wether im increasing my vocal weight or just lowering my larynx, how do i find that out? it's a very good video :)
well, the biggest issue i have is I can't GO that high. my voice just gives out and sounds weird, like it's capped at a certain lightness. how do i fix that to expand to a higher range? any exercises i should practice until my muscles work for a higher lighter, less weighted sound? i have a BASS that is hard to fight.
I think that may be because weight and pitch are really closely linked. You can have a higher pitch with a heavier weight, but a heavy weight can give the impression of a deeper pitch... I'm still new to voice practices, so for me I'm treating the light/heavy thing as a vocal exercise, and when talking I'm gonna try remove a lot of the weight
God I really hope something from this video clicks because I've been told my voice sounds overfull but I have no idea how to change that... Ive also been told it sounds like I have some false fold stuff going on but I also have no idea how to change that. I've watched the videos on this stuff but I can either never mimic the sounds, or feel the physical sensations you're supposed to. That's been my ongoing problem with voice training, sometimes it really does feel like I can't do any of the exercises right... (Also god, from that video about overfull and underfull, I'm so jealous of your feminine voice...)
Beside the fact that these videos are véry helpful and I feel misplaced to ask for advice, as I also saw I can just book you (which I think I will do in the future but will save up for, so I can have multiple sessions if needed). Would it be possible to have 'tricks' like, sounds, which relate? The baby example is very reletable. I feel like I do get the hang of it but .. as if I cannot maintain it for the life of me. I will be practicing and feel, the right note/tone/sound and whenever I talk I just .. well, it comes up sometimes but I cannot hold it for it to sound fluently nice. As if familiarity pulls my voice back down, even when I am talking 'higher'. I thought at first it is a matter of training, perhaps it is? Maybe I need patience and to practice more? But for now it feels like I know how to hold a weight but I don't know how to keep it still/prevent it from falling, if that makes sense.
What's the key to lightening your voice ? It feels like when I try it I get it off my throat up into my nose almost, i dont know if thats the right way of doing it
This isn't about weight specifically, but i've struggled with this for months now. What to do if im activating unnecessary muscles for size change? I learnt it the wrong way, and before i could realize it, i had taught my brain thats how small sounds are done... I can't speak for more than 3 minutes without feeling this tugging at my larynx, so obviously it won't do, but honestly i don't know how to fix this. People are telling me to just try from the beginning and to go for a relaxed sound, but this feels very wishy washy in the air, and subjective... Because for me, anytime i speak its kinda effortful, any sound i make is effortful.
I think I'm affecting vocal weight, I can get my voice sounding softer but staying the same volume, but idk if it really helps my voice sound any better? It just sounds like a fake voice... But now softer
So you’ve got the higher pitch and softer weight down, but then you’re stuck in what sounds like a falsetto. No matter what I do I can’t get out of that falsetto and still keep a light weight. How do I get rid of that?
you're probably going hollow, you could watch the video on fullness or you could also try to move slower in the direction of lighter and listen for when it gets into "falsetto". if there's a big break you could try to reduce that break too and get closer but not completely hollow
