Hi! This is an older pic of me. I think it was from around 2013 with a bad cell camera and a silly makeup app. Weirdly, it is still the best one I’ve got of myself even after having fully transitioned shortly after the pic was taken. Anyway, my biggest dysphoria is with my voice. I’ve spent over a decade on make it “pass”. I’d like to know if there is interest in making a community for voice help (there are similar on Reddit).

This has been my biggest hurdle, and if I could feasibly help others, or other people could help each other that would be fantastic. Simple voice recordings uploaded to free sites with feedback are, in my opinion, very valuable as you need to be able to interact with people on a daily basis and looks alone will not get you there.

In short, I’d just like to know if there is interest for a community where we can help each other not be “outed” for simply trying to speak.

    I’ve been voice training solo for a while and am always on the lookout for more resources, anecdotes and info in general so I’d definitely be up for it!

        I recommend just using a spectrum analyzer like Spectroid. I’ve never used the one you recommend, but it doesn’t seem to have a spectral view, and just looking at your pitch is not going to help feminize the voice.

        What I did is watch the TransVoiceLessons videos, learned to recognized pitch, R1 and R2 in the spectrum, and then just figured out how to use my voice to change those, visualizing them (it’s a long process, takes months).

          It does have a spectrum view.

          Edit: I just checked out Spectroid and the spectral view in that app seems to be better though.

        Yup, that’s a great one! No ads with adguard’s private DNS either.
