An actually understandable MTF Trans voice tutorial: Mastering Resonance — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:05and I'm back are you tired of trans
2. 0:08voice tutorials that require either a
3. 0:09Linguistics degree or a sound
4. 0:11engineering degree to even understand it
5. 0:14would you like a trans voice tutorial
6. 0:15without complicated words most people
7. 0:17wouldn't even know a tutorial that you
8. 0:20could say could be understood by literal
9. 0:235-year-olds here it is change the voice
10. 0:26from this to this how to transvoice part
11. 0:29for
12. 0:30mastering
13. 0:31resonance
14. 0:33yeah this tutorial has explosions in it
15. 0:37that's how cool it
16. 0:38is that's right lovely audience this is
17. 0:41a continuation of a previous voice
18. 0:44tutorial about residance this is a
19. 0:47tutorial on how to master resonance
20. 0:49extend what we've already learned so if
21. 0:52you've never done resonance in your life
22. 0:55I do recommend the other video as much
23. 0:56as I want this video to perform good B
24. 0:59basically we're going to cover
25. 1:01transitioning haha pun intended a
26. 1:03resonant voice into words and
27. 1:08sentences not yet pitch a trans voice
28. 1:11requires many components not just pitch
29. 1:15but we'll get to
30. 1:16you
31. 1:18promise all right let's do
32. 1:21[Applause]
33. 1:23this so last time we had fun making
34. 1:26sounds such as m
35. 1:31which of course is super helpful it
36. 1:33creates the foundation of resonance but
37. 1:36we also need to learn how to actually
38. 1:40speak so that's what we're going to do
39. 1:41today hello and welcome to our Q&A panel
40. 1:44on all things trans and all things
41. 1:45resonance what's your question over
42. 1:47there does that mean we don't have to
43. 1:49make silly sounds nope sorry friends
44. 1:51Speech Pathology is all about making
45. 1:53silly sounds that's how it works let's
46. 1:56do it more silly sounds let's
47. 1:58go
48. 2:00you know how we did a very
49. 2:04exaggerated sound last time well it's a
50. 2:07very drawn out sound we wouldn't really
51. 2:10talk like that however we're basically
52. 2:12going to transfer that into
53. 2:14words however since we went resonance
54. 2:17with M sound I am selecting a word that
55. 2:21starts with
56. 2:24m
57. 2:25manger see this word right here I admit
58. 2:29it's a bit of a trick see that n sound
59. 2:31right in the middle to explain it
60. 2:34without using complicated words I
61. 2:36learned from my complicated degree that
62. 2:38I never used it kind of just cuts off
63. 2:41your air flow basically so when you go
64. 2:45manger you kind of got to reapply the
65. 2:48resonance basically when the nend shows
66. 2:53up did you know you can't make an End
67. 2:56sound while pinching your
68. 2:58nose did you try TR it if so I got
69. 3:03you so what's the point of this fact
70. 3:05actually well you can't start every
71. 3:08sentence by going M before a word that'd
72. 3:12be
73. 3:13embarrassing hey did you see Lucy's epic
74. 3:16Trends voice lessons with additional
75. 3:18voice lessons available on
76. 3:20patreon.com yeah I
77. 3:22did what that's what the video said to
78. 3:25do as you can see from this hyper
79. 3:28exaggerated example that probably
80. 3:30wouldn't happen eventually we'll need to
81. 3:32make a resonant bright Voice without
82. 3:35relying on our little training wheels
83. 3:38the M
84. 3:41sound well cuz this end sound cuts off
85. 3:44the air flow you kind of have to reapply
86. 3:47the resonance which will be helpful for
87. 3:49us to eventually not need that H before
88. 3:53we say stuff so let's try this silly
89. 3:57little word before I feel the need to
90. 4:00eat food in front of a computer while
91. 4:02listening to some random guy in his late
92. 4:0320s tell me about the history of a show
93. 4:05I vaguely remember let's do it
94. 4:08[Music]
95. 4:10okay
96. 4:13[Music]
97. 4:16manger it's okay if you don't get it
98. 4:19first try practice is essential after
99. 4:21all if you have trouble keeping up Buzzy
100. 4:24oh I I wrote busy in the script that's
101. 4:27embarrassing so if you have trouble
102. 4:29keeping it Buzzy like a
103. 4:33Kazo then you can even try
104. 4:38[Music]
105. 4:42going this may be easier this may be
106. 4:45harder adding the Little M right in the
107. 4:47middle but if it works for you then
108. 4:50great but if it doesn't work for you
109. 4:52feel free to ignore that part so now
110. 4:55that you understand the basic exercise
111. 4:58grab any any word that starts with m
112. 5:01right now okay any word it doesn't
113. 5:03matter you can pause the video and think
114. 5:05of the greatest m word imaginable okay
115. 5:08so I'm going to think of a word and
116. 5:10countdown we will both do the exercise
117. 5:13and see if we pick the same word
118. 5:17ready 3 2
119. 5:221
120. 5:25milkshake did we get the same word let
121. 5:27me know in the comments
122. 5:32right so next on the to-do list is
123. 5:35sentences they feel kind of scary cuz
124. 5:37they're big but don't worry our
125. 5:40determination is
126. 5:42bigger yes I did our
127. 5:44explosion if you think this is going too
128. 5:47fast that's because objectively it is
129. 5:50give it a try but if this is too hard
130. 5:52you're welcome to practice the single
131. 5:54words for maybe a couple of weeks and
132. 5:57then come back to sentences the point a
133. 5:59video is for you to watch it at your own
134. 6:01pace so it's up to you when you do this
135. 6:03part okay so for a
136. 6:08sentence we need a few
137. 6:10things we need the letter M to be in the
138. 6:14first word because that'll be a bit
139. 6:16easier for us it has to not be too long
140. 6:19because you might run out of breath and
141. 6:23free it has to be a sentence you would
142. 6:26say in everyday
143. 6:28situations like we we can make our
144. 6:31sentence have the word make in it
145. 6:35right like we could say how
146. 6:37about
147. 6:40um make sure you
148. 6:44[Music]
149. 6:47subscribe okay okay tough crowd how
150. 6:51about we do a different sentence maybe
151. 6:52one would actually say to
152. 6:57someone make sure sure to
153. 7:02hydrate which is important when
154. 7:05practicing so listen to me do it first
155. 7:09then let's do it together in between
156. 7:11each word I'm going to place the buzzing
157. 7:13m in between every word this is a
158. 7:16training wheels tactic and it will help
159. 7:18us do this a bit quicker so we'll
160. 7:21eventually remove these M's but they'll
161. 7:23help us maintain buzziness brightness
162. 7:25and all things of resonance you can find
163. 7:28it in that video so
164. 7:30[Music]
165. 7:31I'll do it first then you do it
166. 7:36okay
167. 7:38make
168. 7:40sure
169. 7:42to
170. 7:45hydrate okay let's do it together okay
171. 7:48and it's okay if the buzzing M into
172. 7:51other words is complicated we get the
173. 7:53hang of
174. 7:54[Music]
175. 7:57it make M
176. 8:01sure
177. 8:03to
178. 8:05hydrate that buzziness that sens of
179. 8:08forward moment the voice the voice is
180. 8:10hitting the Target in front of you and
181. 8:12that sentence is also hitting that
182. 8:14Target that Target is going to hydrate
183. 8:15and you're going to make them
184. 8:17hydrate politely of
185. 8:21course remember the objective isn't to
186. 8:24sound like the funny girl in the video
187. 8:27it's to add resonance to your en
188. 8:30to find what feels euphoric for you this
189. 8:33is a small component so it won't sound
190. 8:36perfect straight away it'll likely sound
191. 8:38a little silly almost like some kind of
192. 8:41chant or like like a spell or something
193. 8:44like summoning something let's try again
194. 8:47one more
195. 8:48[Music]
196. 8:50time
197. 8:52make
198. 8:54sure
199. 8:56to
200. 8:58hydrate
201. 9:03well that's not
202. 9:03[Music]
203. 9:09good am I going to fall in my head every
204. 9:12tutorial I swear this just keeps
205. 9:15happening
206. 9:17wait how did we get
207. 9:20here lovely audience this this is bad
208. 9:23this is if I stay in this place located
209. 9:26in critically acclaimed RPG Final
210. 9:28Fantasy 14 too long I'll procrastinate
211. 9:31this video it'll never come out luckily
212. 9:34for us you could say our Chan voice
213. 9:36exercise it was a spell in away come to
214. 9:38think of
215. 9:39it so what we're going to
216. 9:42do and this might work this might not
217. 9:47work we're going to have to use that
218. 9:50power of resonance together to get out
219. 9:52of here we have to make a sentence so
220. 9:54Buzzy so resonant that we will escape
221. 9:59and I'll be able to finish the video on
222. 10:01time okay let's do this all
223. 10:06right okay here we go here's the plan
224. 10:09we're going to transport ourselves
225. 10:11somewhere super quiet and productive so
226. 10:13we can concentrate on my voice so let's
227. 10:17try a
228. 10:18sentence I'm going to go with milkshakes
229. 10:21are
230. 10:22tasty I have a feeling it will come in
231. 10:24handy Al I'm kind of
232. 10:27fusty sorry
233. 10:29this sentence does have a small
234. 10:31trick and I will present it to you in a
235. 10:35film format that predates
236. 10:40me hi everyone I finally get the chance
237. 10:42to use my Linguistics degree for
238. 10:44Linguistics themed facture sir see that
239. 10:47k sound that's called a
240. 10:50frickative it sounds
241. 10:53funny knowing the name it's not
242. 10:55important I just think it's so funny I
243. 10:57had to share it
244. 10:59if I had to be the one that giggled in a
245. 11:02lecture room with hundred other students
246. 11:04staring at my immaturity so do
247. 11:08you
248. 11:10frickative oh right the the relevant
249. 11:13part so similar to the end sound from
250. 11:17earlier it'll cut off the air Flur
251. 11:19meaning you'll have to be extra careful
252. 11:21to make sure the buzziness of the
253. 11:22resonance maintains the entire sentence
254. 11:25you got this now illogically back to me
255. 11:30hello it is me Steamboat Willie I have
256. 11:32entered the public domain and can now
257. 11:33let you know that I am canonically
258. 11:35transgender all right we have a sentence
259. 11:38I Justified my degree let's do
260. 11:42this
261. 11:45milkshake
262. 11:47more
263. 11:49tasty I can hear the magic nearly
264. 11:52working let's try one more time to make
265. 11:56I'll getaway remember that little case
266. 11:59sound well that's going to be a bit
267. 12:00challenging however practice can
268. 12:02overcome literally everything all
269. 12:05right
270. 12:09ready
271. 12:12milkshakes
272. 12:14more
273. 12:16tasty wow a door appeared that actually
274. 12:20worked okay let's
275. 12:25go wait where are
276. 12:27we I don't think this is the right place
277. 12:31pitch what do we
278. 12:33[Music]
279. 12:44[Music]
280. 12:57do okay I I really don't think this is
281. 13:00where we need to be okay
282. 13:03let oh God am I going to get copyrights
283. 13:06trick for this we get out of
284. 13:10here all right this is
285. 13:13the I don't think we're going to be
286. 13:15productive here
287. 13:18a
288. 13:27fine
289. 13:33[Music]
290. 13:40all right second full of the video
291. 13:42okay oh this is perfect we've landed in
292. 13:47Blue Lagoon from ponga an MMO that shut
293. 13:50down years ago no one will interrupt us
294. 13:55here so I know what you're thinking
295. 13:58random voice coach YouTuber we have a
296. 14:00cool patreon Link in the description for
297. 14:02Discord 101 lessons how do I turn this
298. 14:05into a real person
299. 14:07voice let me show
300. 14:11you this part's so important I needed to
301. 14:14bring two microphones so repeat after
302. 14:20me
303. 14:23milkshake
304. 14:26milkshake so let's back up for a second
305. 14:29what does that part of the technique
306. 14:31even
307. 14:32do think of the
308. 14:35buzzing as your training
309. 14:38wheels the slow chant kind of buzzing is
310. 14:41you pedaling on your bike for a bit once
311. 14:44you're sure you got the technique well
312. 14:46the training wheels are now gone us
313. 14:48saying the word milkshake after using
314. 14:51the milkshake you know what I mean
315. 14:54allows us to transfer the resonance to
316. 14:57regular speech
317. 14:59so essentially this allows us to see
318. 15:02what it would sound like when we use
319. 15:04resonance with our voice and also it
320. 15:06helps us get used to doing it but we can
321. 15:08go
322. 15:09further
323. 15:15sentences I love my job so with
324. 15:18sentences we can of course run into a
325. 15:21couple of complications like before
326. 15:23sentences are long we may run out of
327. 15:26breath maintaining resonance can be ult
328. 15:29in one long string of words so to
329. 15:33address number one you're allowed to
330. 15:37breathe if if a sentence is too long
331. 15:39please just breathe it's okay I
332. 15:43promise and approach the second issue
333. 15:46we're going to space it out all right so
334. 15:49I brought my camera Person Pitch okay
335. 15:52give us a
336. 15:53sentence a different
337. 15:56sentence I need add Revenue
338. 16:01yes that works milkshakes are
339. 16:03tasty wait did I use the same
340. 16:07sentence I know you're thinking Lucy how
341. 16:10did you afford a cooking show well the
342. 16:12last video did really well so hello and
343. 16:14welcome to Lucy's Niche trans voice fed
344. 16:17cooking show where we teach you how to
345. 16:18speak sentences we have residents a
346. 16:21tasty twist with the perfect ingredients
347. 16:24we can turn any voice into a resonant
348. 16:27voice here's what we will need for our
349. 16:30recipe water cuz hydration is important
350. 16:34resonance exercises we did before
351. 16:36including the stuff we did in part two
352. 16:38and the power of the Buzzy Bee are you
353. 16:43going to be a while I need to make
354. 16:44dinner for everyone yeah I should be
355. 16:47free within time frame all right I'll
356. 16:50sit over there I
357. 16:51guess all right then enjoy back seating
358. 16:56my cooking show I suppose
359. 17:01okay is everyone good now can I continue
360. 17:04the voice
361. 17:05tutorial yeah good okay cool for our
362. 17:09recipe follow these instructions who've
363. 17:11made harm let's grab this sentence milk
364. 17:14shakes are tasty I will do this sentence
365. 17:18in the Chant voice from earlier and then
366. 17:21I'll repeat it in regular speech but
367. 17:24with
368. 17:25[Music]
369. 17:26resonance okay
370. 17:29[Music]
371. 17:31[Applause]
372. 17:31[Music]
373. 17:33milkshakes
374. 17:34more
375. 17:37tasty milkshakes are
376. 17:40tasty in between each word I do
377. 17:43the thing again the thing I explained in
378. 17:47more detail in the previous episode
379. 17:49think of these M as an assist with that
380. 17:53knowledge that I didn't realize I
381. 17:55repeated in the script until now let's
382. 17:57try doing that sentence together with
383. 18:00the and Lead it into our new full
384. 18:06sentence
385. 18:08milkshakes
386. 18:10more
387. 18:12tasty milkshakes are tasty you can kind
388. 18:15of do it like
389. 18:17a little swing to like get used to going
390. 18:21milkshakes are
391. 18:22tasty we're doing that kind of emphasis
392. 18:25just to be like yeah resonance power
393. 18:29that kind of
394. 18:32thing so how'd that
395. 18:36feel do you need some water water is
396. 18:39really important when doing this kind of
397. 18:40thing especially since we making louder
398. 18:42sounds
399. 18:44now
400. 18:46so allow me to swap to a regular
401. 18:49microphone so you now know my secret
402. 18:54recipe however it's more of public
403. 18:57knowledge just present it in an
404. 18:59accessible
405. 19:00way so before you go off to practice
406. 19:05just remember when watching these kind
407. 19:07of videos often the presenter of the
408. 19:09video will make it look really easy my
409. 19:13stuff is no
410. 19:14different but voice trading takes a lot
411. 19:17of practice but it does work I've been
412. 19:20there I used to stare at a wool being
413. 19:23like heat from fire fire from heat for
414. 19:25hours hours I say
415. 19:30but the thing that really
416. 19:33works is shorter practice sessions space
417. 19:36between your day
418. 19:38and being kind to your
419. 19:41voice you know what I
420. 19:43mean if I did the techniques that I
421. 19:47learn online with more patience and more
422. 19:51care for my FR
423. 19:54and more support around me I think I
424. 19:57would have done this a lot
425. 19:59quicker I sure I got to a voice that I'm
426. 20:02happy with in the end but I think it
427. 20:04took a lot longer than it needed to be
428. 20:06because of my inefficient way of
429. 20:09practicing point is the goal isn't to
430. 20:11sound like me
431. 20:13specifically or anyone you happen to
432. 20:15also be
433. 20:17watching this is a piece of the puzzle
434. 20:21but once it's all together it's so
435. 20:24empowering so make sure to enjoy the
436. 20:26little victories on this voice Journey
437. 20:28knowing that you're getting better and
438. 20:30better little by little is
439. 20:33incredible I I know it's really easy to
440. 20:36feel
441. 20:37discouraged especially when the video
442. 20:40makes it look easy because when you see
443. 20:42a video you you see my end result you
444. 20:46don't see the journey I
445. 20:48guess but wherever your starting point
446. 20:52is or wherever you're up to now I do
447. 20:54believe in you okay the voice is
448. 20:57powerful and it can change I mean like
449. 21:00the differences between sex is
450. 21:02biologically fright wise basically
451. 21:04nothing is
452. 21:08different it can change everything can
453. 21:10change with a fruit it's
454. 21:14easy to feel down about it it's easy to
455. 21:17feel like only talented people get to do
456. 21:20this voice
457. 21:21thing I know I can't fully do my old guy
458. 21:24voice to demonstrate fully I can kind of
459. 21:27do it Guy voice still but not the same
460. 21:30as I could before but the point
461. 21:34is when I
462. 21:36started I was told very explicitly by
463. 21:39people around me that I was one of the
464. 21:41people that weren't gifted with the
465. 21:43ability to do a girl voice I was told
466. 21:46very bluntly that I should give up and
467. 21:49not speak and that's nonsense if
468. 21:52anyone's ever told you that nonsense
469. 21:55okay any voice can do this
470. 21:58I know videos make it seem unobtainable
471. 22:02or too easy and then you realize it's
472. 22:04somehow unobtainable but that's not the
473. 22:05thing that's on the truth the voice can
474. 22:08change and the voice will change it's
475. 22:12just the more you practice the more it
476. 22:14will change in tiny little chunks
477. 22:18remember
478. 22:20so to all the trans gals and binary Pals
479. 22:24F booys curious sis guys and gals all of
480. 22:28you I do believe in
481. 22:30you and I believe in your practice
482. 22:34especially I hope you get what you want
483. 22:36from this video the goal of this video
484. 22:39is to present trans Voice without
485. 22:41complicated big words to make things
486. 22:45accessible
487. 22:46and actually understandable is a big
488. 22:51thing there's a difference between
489. 22:53focusing on
490. 22:55educating compared to showing how many
491. 22:58big words I know which I feel is a lot
492. 23:01of tutorials
493. 23:03unfortunately so yes this is obviously
494. 23:06an elaborate ploy to get people to join
495. 23:09my patreon for voice
496. 23:11lessons that's why these videos exist
497. 23:13that's why all these kind of videos
498. 23:15exist but it also exists to hopefully
499. 23:19increase accessibility to transvoice
500. 23:22because right
501. 23:23now I don't actually think there's any
502. 23:26accessible trans voice videos
503. 23:28YouTu um sure I found some that worked
504. 23:31for me but I'm a Linguistics major and
505. 23:33I've done sound production I don't think
506. 23:37a trans voice tutorial is perfect until
507. 23:39it can be understood by everybody we
508. 23:40haven't reached that yet I don't think
509. 23:44I'm the one that's going to reach that
510. 23:46priso but I hope this
511. 23:49starts
512. 23:51like people trying new things on how to
513. 23:53explain this kind of stuff I hope that c
514. 23:56us a wave and then more people try doing
515. 23:59voice tutorials and we can all learn
516. 24:02together you
517. 24:04know
518. 24:06so I'll try to be what I see in the
519. 24:10world I'll try to make accessible trans
520. 24:12voice tutorials that I needed so badly
521. 24:15back then when I came out did I succeed
522. 24:19in making a successful accessible trans
523. 24:22voice a successful
524. 24:24accessible that's strange wording but
525. 24:26it's true
526. 24:28so I'll try my best to be the kind of
527. 24:31trans voice Creator I wish that I could
528. 24:34have watched when I was that nervous
529. 24:3612-year-old that came out to their
530. 24:39fronts the nervous trans that didn't
531. 24:43have much support back then I want to
532. 24:46make accessible trans content that makes
533. 24:49people feel good empowered to do what
534. 24:51they need to
535. 24:52do does this video
536. 24:55succeed that's up to you everyone will
537. 24:58feel differently everyone will have
538. 25:00favorites and it's okay if it's not me
539. 25:03either way I'm happy you tried this
540. 25:05video that warms my heart I hope it
541. 25:07helped
