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 think making a community for trans voice help is a fantastic idea. If such a community is made I would definitely link to it in the sidebar.

    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.

    You’re more than welcome to create a community on blahaj.zone if you like. You’d need an account here, but you can create it, create the community, mod your main account, and do all of the maintenance/management from your main account

    Of, you could set it up on your current instance, and let people know about it.

    Whatever you do, I think it’s a good idea to get a voice training community up and running!

    I never even considered that there could be voice dysphoria. Of course there is. I wonder, would singing practice help ? I know it widened my range and generally made me more nimble, more flexible with my tone(s). This is coming from a place of complete naiveté, not being transgender,… well in any case I hope you get rid of that dysphoria one way or another

      what would not have a dysphoria at this point because if where trowing everything against the wall and too see what sticks that’s going to be more helpful.
