1. 0:00Are you tired of transv voice tutorials
2. 0:02that require either a linguistics degree
3. 0:04or a sound engineering degree to even
4. 0:06understand it? Do you want a voice
5. 0:08tutorial that could be comprehended by
6. 0:10literal 5-year-olds? Here it is. Learn
7. 0:13to change the voice from this to this.
8. 0:16How to trans voice? All of it. Yes, all
9. 0:19of it. This video's goal is to make the
10. 0:21old tutorials completely obsolete. This
11. 0:24is everything you need to know to do a
12. 0:26girl voice. Provided you practice one
13. 0:28step at a time. provided you practice
14. 0:30one at a time. Every technique required
15. 0:32to do a girl voice is like the walls of
16. 0:34a castle. If you build the perfect front
17. 0:36gate, but everything else is a wooden
18. 0:38fence, yeah, people are going to say
19. 0:40it's a bad castle. But once you give it
20. 0:42the time to build each and every wall,
21. 0:44then you got a complete castle. So, just
22. 0:47remember that you won't instantly sound
23. 0:49like an anime girl. I repeat, you will
24. 0:51not instantly sound like an anime.
25. 0:56Okay, puberty made our voice drop. Now
26. 0:58what? Imagine it's really cold. We need
27. 1:01to unfog our glasses or a car window. We
28. 1:03need to make like a sound. This really
29. 1:06breathy
30. 1:07sound. [music] If we made it really long
31. 1:09and then made it louder,
32. 1:13right? H, it's very dark sounding,
33. 1:16right? But if we make a H sound like a
34. 1:20nice and small then we get a
35. 1:26it's a bit brighter in comparison.
36. 1:28Hear the difference between
37. 1:31and and
38. 1:33as you can hear this sounds smaller. It
39. 1:36sounds brighter. When puberty happened
40. 1:38our vocal folds got pretty dang thick,
41. 1:40right? Imagine the larynx is this
42. 1:42window. Okay. Now imagine the frame of
43. 1:45the window is the vocal folds. Okay? We
44. 1:48don't want our voice to touch the frame.
45. 1:50We want to jump right through that
46. 1:51window without clipping our legs on the
47. 1:53side. Otherwise, this will happen. When
48. 1:55the voice does a,
49. 1:58it is now smaller and can fit through
50. 2:00that window. Therefore, you don't have
51. 2:02to touch the vocal folds that got thick.
52. 2:04So, it's as if puberty never happened.
53. 2:06Once you change your vocal size, this
54. 2:07ball is going to go up a little bit. All
55. 2:09you need to know is it's part of your
56. 2:10larynx poking out of the throat. Right?
57. 2:12Once it goes up a little bit, you know
58. 2:14you've done it right. Okay, larynx
59. 2:16raise. Mission accomplished. Don't raise
60. 2:17it too much cuz otherwise you're going
61. 2:19to
62. 2:21If I were to demonstrate through using
63. 2:22my mask voice and only changing the
64. 2:24larynx as best I can, that will result
65. 2:27in a
66. 2:32nice day. Have a nice day. Now, when I
67. 2:35do it in this voice, it sounds like
68. 2:39a nice day. That's cuz all the other
69. 2:40techniques are applied to [music] it.
70. 2:42So, just focus on getting that kind of
71. 2:44bad Spongebob impression kind of sound.
72. 2:46If only there's a way to make my vocal
73. 2:48size smaller.
74. 2:50And now you can with these bonus size
75. 2:52reducing tips. Try moving your tongue up
76. 2:54slightly when using your voice. This
77. 2:56will create even less space in the
78. 2:58mouth, therefore reducing vocal size.
79. 3:01Ever seen a trumpet player play a
80. 3:02trumpet? They look like they had the
81. 3:04most sour lemon ever. That's because
82. 3:06that mouthpiece is kind of small. They
83. 3:08got to put their face right in to even
84. 3:10play this thing. When you make this ha
85. 3:13sound, imagine smiles. Do a smiley face
86. 3:16and really squish in the face a little
87. 3:17bit. Ha. Ha. Procity is like the rhythm
88. 3:22of the voice. Sometimes you might have
89. 3:24your sentence go down at the end of a
90. 3:26sentence. You want to avoid that. If I
91. 3:28were to use my guy voice when I finish a
92. 3:29sentence, it's going to go down. You
93. 3:31don't want that because that's not as
94. 3:33feminine as going up. So when you do a
95. 3:35sentence, kind of picture the voice
96. 3:37going up at the end of your sentence.
97. 3:40Kind of like when people go, "Is that
98. 3:42good?" That kind of thing. Try to
99. 3:44replicate that, but slightly less
100. 3:45exaggerated. A way you can cheese this
101. 3:47if you're having trouble is going like,
102. 3:49"Have a nice day. Have a nice day."
103. 3:52Instead of have a nice day, right? And
104. 3:54then slowly cut it down little by
105. 3:57little. When I do my guy voice, you'll
106. 3:58notice it's very monotone. But if I were
107. 4:01to swap to a girl voice, it's going to
108. 4:02jump up and down like a wave, right? You
109. 4:05want to kind of replicate that
110. 4:06>> in isolation. It would kind of sound
111. 4:08like if the voice is going up and down
112. 4:10in this kind of manner like this. Now
113. 4:12for our next step, vocal weight. So you
114. 4:15may think the voice right now sounds a
115. 4:16little too much like Spongebob. Well,
116. 4:18the solution to that, and you ain't
117. 4:20going to believe this. No, seriously.
118. 4:22Vocal weight is the act of making our
119. 4:24voice thinner as opposed to thick. If
120. 4:27you have trouble doing a bad Patrick
121. 4:29Star impression, just try yawning and be
122. 4:30like,
123. 4:32and you'll probably get it. So, we have
124. 4:35our voice really thick here. And then we
125. 4:37make it really thin. Now, once you have
126. 4:39it like this, all you have to do is the
127. 4:41steps we've done earlier on top of this.
128. 4:44Okay. So, that will be like going up
129. 4:47here and that kind of thing, right?
130. 4:49That's all this is.
131. 4:50>> Is mayonnaise an instrument? Is
132. 4:52mayonnaise an instrument?
133. 4:54>> Is mayonnaise an instrument? If you want
134. 4:56to go the other way, start really thick
135. 4:58here and then like kind of go up and you
136. 4:59end up with this kind of ah kind of bad
137. 5:02sponge impression like earlier. And then
138. 5:04you add that little bit of vocal weight
139. 5:06to make it nice and thin. Okay. Yeah,
140. 5:08you probably already know how to
141. 5:10breathe, but do you know how to breathe
142. 5:11to power up your voice? Not using your
143. 5:14breath properly is the equivalent of
144. 5:15putting fuel in a car, then chucking
145. 5:17that fuel out the window and wondering
146. 5:18why the car stopped.
147. 5:20>> You never do this when pitch drives.
148. 5:22When you breathe in, make sure your
149. 5:24stomach inflates like a balloon. Make
150. 5:26sure you do this really slowly. When
151. 5:28doing this, make sure your stomach
152. 5:29slowly goes back in.
153. 5:33Have a nice day. You should feel it
154. 5:35slowly going back in. If you make
155. 5:37[music] the stomach go in too quickly,
156. 5:40that is throwing fuel out of a car
157. 5:42window.
158. 5:42>> I'm going to crash out. Lucy,
159. 5:44>> I said I was stuck. Now, the next
160. 5:45technique you'll need is Oh, pitch.
161. 5:48Sorry about that. Um, you're actually
162. 5:49later in the
163. 5:52I should see a doctor at this point, but
164. 5:55this place still exists. All right,
165. 5:57obviously going too high in pitch is not
166. 5:59going to sound natural. I used to be
167. 6:01respected, you know. Now look at me. A
168. 6:04metaphor and a trans voice tutorial.
169. 6:07Honestly, all you have to do for pitch
170. 6:09is just kind of make like a d, you know,
171. 6:12kind of sound, right? That's a good
172. 6:14indication of how much higher you
173. 6:16probably need to go. Feel free to just
174. 6:18go
175. 6:20D until you find the pitch that works
176. 6:22for you. Honestly, that's all there is
177. 6:24to pitch. Just make sure it's
178. 6:26comfortable. Don't go too high. Don't go
179. 6:28crazy. Now, let's do more residents.
180. 6:30Give it up for residents, everyone. Woo!
181. 6:33Yay! So, all you'll need for this
182. 6:35science experiment is a straw, a water
183. 6:37bottle, put the straw in the water
184. 6:39bottle, fill the water bottle with
185. 6:40water. Water, not monster. Okay? And
186. 6:44from there, you're going to grab the
187. 6:45straw with your mouth, and you're going
188. 6:47to make like a
189. 6:49sound into that straw. It's kind of like
190. 6:52a W and a V sound mixed together. All
191. 6:54right. Put the straw in the bottle and
192. 6:56just do like a
193. 6:59and see if there's lots of bubbles.
194. 7:00Picture a bunch of sticks made by
195. 7:02beavers to make a dam. Take away one
196. 7:04stick. All the water's going to rush to
197. 7:06that one little gap. You're going to do
198. 7:08that with your voice to create a smaller
199. 7:10vocal size. Allow the voice to travel to
200. 7:12that straw.
201. 7:16Water is good. You can kind of maintain
202. 7:18that mouth posture as you exit from the
203. 7:20straw as that's a bit more effective.
204. 7:22Sorry about having IRL me next to me.
205. 7:24It's a little hard to demonstrate this
206. 7:25technique with a TV strapped to my face.
207. 7:28You can also use this as an opportunity
208. 7:29to practice your breath control by
209. 7:31trying to hold that
210. 7:33sound for as long as you can and even
211. 7:34try little sirens by going up and down
212. 7:36like
213. 7:40that's good for a multitude of reasons.
214. 7:41So feel free to give that a go too.
215. 7:43Don't have a straw sitting around? Don't
216. 7:45worry, I have an alternative technique
217. 7:46you can do though only I really teach it
218. 7:48like this. So keep that in mind. Your
219. 7:50mileage may vary. I call this the hair
220. 7:52method. Grab the HJ from the larynx
221. 7:54exercise. Grab a little M sound and
222. 7:56imagine you're meditating in a valley
223. 8:02and imagine your voice traveling in
224. 8:03front of you. Imagine your voice is
225. 8:05literally a fire breath traveling in
226. 8:08front of you. Maybe you're doing a
227. 8:09Skyrim Dovakin shout. I don't know. Just
228. 8:12imagine your voice traveling in front of
229. 8:13you. That kind of
230. 8:17the way I was explained resonance is
231. 8:19basically imagining vibration from the
232. 8:21lower part of your throat moving to your
233. 8:23mouth. So like imagining the spawn point
234. 8:25of your voice moving with sentences
235. 8:30milkshake
236. 8:31milkshake if I use my old voice
237. 8:35[sighs and gasps]
238. 8:38milkshake
239. 8:40milkshake.
240. 8:41So if that works you let me know. If it
241. 8:44doesn't also let me know. Hi there.
242. 8:46Welcome to Sesame Street. I'm really
243. 8:48happy to see you. Today we're going to
244. 8:50cover the soft palette. Rave your
245. 8:52tongue. Try touching the roof of your
246. 8:54mouth. You might notice it's quite hard
247. 8:55and feel like bone. This is your hard
248. 8:57palette. Take your tongue a little
249. 8:59further back until it's softer. This is
250. 9:02well the soft pallet. If you exaggerate
251. 9:04your soft pallet's movement, you end up
252. 9:06with this kind of uh by moving the back
253. 9:09of your tongue a little upwards and
254. 9:11imagining a trap door opening, letting
255. 9:14more air to your nose. Ever heard Elmo's
256. 9:16voice from Sesame Street?
257. 9:18>> Cookie Zoe, turn Elmo doesn't even have
258. 9:20a mouth. Elmo's voice is basically a
259. 9:22highly exaggerated soft pallet sound.
260. 9:25Elmo, from here, grab the voice and then
261. 9:28remove the falsetto. So if you do that,
262. 9:31then the voice sounds a bit like this.
263. 9:33Then from there, kind of loosen it a
264. 9:35little bit and make it a little less
265. 9:37tight and then you've applied the soft
266. 9:38palette to your voice. So you tried an
267. 9:41Elmo voice and it didn't really work.
268. 9:42Don't worry, there's another way. Grab
269. 9:44the word sing, right? That kind of
270. 9:46sound. Hold it. Sing.
271. 9:49Feel how the tongue moves to create this
272. 9:51sound. Your tongue is going to go up a
273. 9:53little bit. That's the position. Then
274. 9:55feel that bit of movement at the roof of
275. 9:57your mouth behind your tongue. That's
276. 9:59your soft pallet movement. From there,
277. 10:00you can make a
278. 10:08nice day.
279. 10:11The nice day like that. You won't get
280. 10:14this straight away. That's okay. I
281. 10:16didn't get it straight away. Voice
282. 10:18training was my biggest weakness of
283. 10:19transition. It was one of the last
284. 10:20things I even did, right? So, just keep
285. 10:22in mind that if you start and you think
286. 10:24you're bad, that's normal. That's just
287. 10:27because you started. As you do it more
288. 10:29and more, you will get better. You will
289. 10:31become incredible. You'll be able to
290. 10:33have a voice that feels like your own.
291. 10:35Don't give up and don't let the opinions
292. 10:37of others make you feel discouraged in
293. 10:39your voice journey. Understand that you
294. 10:41probably won't get the most honest
295. 10:42feedback by posting on Reddit. It's
296. 10:44people that are kind of nitpicky. Cis
297. 10:46people are not this picky. Sis people
298. 10:49don't even know voice training exists.
299. 10:51If you can get even some of these
300. 10:52techniques down, a sis person won't have
301. 10:54any idea. If you take anything away from
302. 10:56this video, know that it's okay to be
303. 10:58bad at voice training. No one starts
304. 11:00good at voice training. I didn't start
305. 11:02good at voice training. The only way I
306. 11:03feel it's right to end a video like this
307. 11:06is a montage of my voice over the course
308. 11:09of my [music] transition.
309. 11:11When you listen to this, just think
310. 11:13maybe how was I feeling in that moment?
311. 11:16Was I thinking I would ever get this
312. 11:17far? Did I think [music] I sucked? Yeah,
313. 11:22I thought I sucked a lot early on. I
314. 11:25thought I could never do this, but I
315. 11:27kept going. And I hope that inspires you
316. 11:30to keep going, too. Thank you for
317. 11:33watching this video. Feel free to ask
318. 11:35any questions in the comments. If you're
319. 11:38interested in Patreon private lessons,
320. 11:39feel free to click the link below to
321. 11:41[music] see if there's any slots
322. 11:42available. I'll do what I can to fill as
323. 11:44many as I can. And thank you so much for
324. 11:47this opportunity that has fundamentally
325. 11:49changed my life. I cannot express how
326. 11:52much that dang larynx video has changed
327. 11:56my life.
328. 11:59Mixups and all.
329. 12:01Stay hydrated and know that you are
330. 12:04valid. I'll see you next week.
331. 12:08Um, I'm not used to talking in front of
332. 12:10my phone randomly. Maybe you are in the
333. 12:13future if I ever do the content creating
334. 12:16thing. I probably won't. I don't know.
335. 12:19Uh, feminine speech patterns in their
336. 12:21subtitles regardless of the context of
337. 12:23the actual person speaking in the movie.
338. 12:25>> Today's date is uh 9:23
339. 12:29a.m. and it's the 14th of April and it
340. 12:32is in fact 2021. [music]
341. 12:33how it will actually go when I start uni
342. 12:36actually organizing uni to start.
343. 12:38>> It's not about how miserable you are as
344. 12:39a boy. It's about how much happier you
345. 12:43think you'd be as a girl.
346. 12:44>> I know it's a small step in the massive
347. 12:47mountain that is trans voice. But don't
348. 12:50give up, okay? Whatever your reasons for
349. 12:52learning to do a girl voice, you can do
350. 12:55it. There'll be moments where it'll be
351. 12:57really frustrating, moments where we
352. 12:59don't make that much progress. But I
353. 13:02hope this video inspires you for the
354. 13:04journey and also gives you some ideas of
355. 13:07things to practice to get closer. I
356. 13:09tried with all my heart to make the
357. 13:11video that I wish I had. Um, this was
358. 13:15intended to be if I could send one video
359. 13:18to my past self [snorts] to learn voice
360. 13:20quicker, this would be the video I would
361. 13:23send past me. So hopefully this video
362. 13:27helps you all just as much [music] as it
363. 13:31would help a past me.
364. 13:34So thank you for allowing this to be my
365. 13:37job beyond words. Thank you and I hope
366. 13:40this video was helpful. Stay hydrated
367. 13:43and know that you are valid. See you
368. 13:46[snorts] next week.
