Full transcript

1. 0:00while this video is not scary what is
2. 0:02scary is transvoice misconceptions so
3. 0:05let's cover them today because between
4. 0:07you and me I was supposed to upload a
5. 0:09full voice tutorial this month but it's
6. 0:11been a little delayed let's start with
7. 0:14some more well-known misconceptions and
8. 0:16get progressively more obscure like a
9. 0:19trans misconception Iceberg or something
10. 0:23Club Penguin
11. 0:26why so there's a common misconception
12. 0:29that you have probably heard of that in
13. 0:31order to sound like a girl you need high
14. 0:33pitch this is a myth if you go too high
15. 0:36up into the stratosphere you end up
16. 0:39sounding like Mickey Mouse or at least a
17. 0:41bad impression of the mouse so while
18. 0:44pitch does help with how the voice is
19. 0:47gendered my voice for example isn't
20. 0:49actually that high when you think about
21. 0:51it I used to talk a lot higher around
22. 0:54here that I speak a lot lower now for a
23. 0:56few important reasons that I'll share
24. 0:58with you lovely audience if you speak
25. 1:00too high up it's unlikely you'll be able
26. 1:02to sustain this pitch this can lead to
27. 1:04not being able to talk as long or loud
28. 1:08for that matter if you tried to sing
29. 1:10along at a Taylor Swift concert you'd be
30. 1:12a goner you may be wondering random
31. 1:15voice coach YouTuber with a cool patreon
32. 1:17in the description what do I do instead
33. 1:19of pitch then well here's the name of a
34. 1:22couple of techniques you can look up and
35. 1:24find all sorts of tutorials whether it's
36. 1:26for me or the other wonderful people
37. 1:27that make tutorials pitch is still still
38. 1:30important but no need to worry about it
39. 1:32that much honestly most students I've
40. 1:35had have just organically raise their
41. 1:38pitch while we're focusing on the other
42. 1:40stuff there's a common misconception
43. 1:42that we need to practice trans voice for
44. 1:43hours upon hours at a time that's
45. 1:46ridiculous I promise you it's actually
46. 1:48the opposite the reasons are not related
47. 1:51to propose decreasing attention spans or
48. 1:53something instead it's due to an
49. 1:56important aspect of learning transl
50. 1:58that's often overlooked creating habit
51. 2:02if you practice for this 2 minutes every
52. 2:04hour in the day that's pretty ideal
53. 2:07actually that's like really good every
54. 2:10other hour if that doesn't work but
55. 2:12honestly if you just do a few two minute
56. 2:14sessions of the techniques you can learn
57. 2:16online each day whenever convenient your
58. 2:19voice will improve much more than if you
59. 2:21stared at a wall and just said phrases
60. 2:24over and over for hours straight another
61. 2:26misconception is related to the larynx
62. 2:29this misconception is that the larynx
63. 2:31has to move up a lot this advice is
64. 2:34mostly applicable of course to people
65. 2:36who have tried a larynx tutorial whether
66. 2:39that's mine or many of the other
67. 2:41wonderful options available these days
68. 2:43so while I recommend my old larynx
69. 2:47tutorial I made that a year
70. 2:49ago and to be completely
71. 2:53honest perhaps
72. 2:55transparent there's some parts I
73. 2:59partially disagree with now as I've
74. 3:01grown and learned as an instructor of
75. 3:03trans voice most notably there's a part
76. 3:06of the video where I instruct the viewer
77. 3:09to hold a swallow motion please don't do
78. 3:12that please I can't edit the video and
79. 3:15post froats are pretty
80. 3:18delicate doing it a few times inherently
81. 3:21isn't dangerous but if you did it over
82. 3:23and over and over again not ideal we
83. 3:25have to be nice to our froats I mean
84. 3:28there's an entire specialization for
85. 3:29speech fist to focus on swallowing and
86. 3:32swallowing alone so it's pretty
87. 3:33important so I intend to fully remake my
88. 3:35larynx video but for now here's a quick
89. 3:39tip so long story short this little ball
90. 3:43in the throat moves up or down depending
91. 3:45on which way the larynx is moving making
92. 3:47a
93. 3:48whispered sound keeps it level or
94. 3:51decreases doesn't make a difference that
95. 3:53I know of and then if you make a h sound
96. 3:56for whatever reason the ball goes up
97. 3:58long story short this ball is connected
98. 4:00to the larynx but it isn't the larynx
99. 4:01but it's connected to the larynx when it
100. 4:04goes up a little so does our larynx they
101. 4:06work together essentially doing this
102. 4:09makes our voice less grally so we can
103. 4:11avoid that kind of BL sound if the voice
104. 4:15changes however your ball doesn't have
105. 4:18to go all the way up like those carnival
106. 4:22games so the ball of the throat does not
107. 4:25have to Skyrocket all the way up the
108. 4:27throat like one of those Hammer Games at
109. 4:28carnivals doing this is dangerous reason
110. 4:31being when you swallow you'll notice
111. 4:34that the ball of the fruit will go fully
112. 4:35to its highest point this is to ensure
113. 4:38no food you swallow go somewhere it
114. 4:41shouldn't it's a body mechanism designed
115. 4:44to protect you but when talking you
116. 4:47shouldn't raise your larynx that high
117. 4:50otherwise you kind of have a lack of
118. 4:52access to breathing if you can't breathe
119. 4:56you'll sound very out of breath no
120. 4:58matter how good your voice gets it'll
121. 5:00lack support and most importantly
122. 5:03holding the larynx will really hurt so
123. 5:06instead you just need that ball to just
124. 5:09raise a smudge just a little bit if you
125. 5:12gently and I mean gently by the way
126. 5:14don't don't be rough with your body your
127. 5:15body is a delicate thing if you were to
128. 5:17gently touch the little bowl in the
129. 5:19throat and raise your larynx with the
130. 5:21technique covered in either my tutorial
131. 5:22or another tutorial you should feel the
132. 5:25bowl move up a little bit but your
133. 5:26finger should still have been touching
134. 5:28the bowl it doesn't move that far up you
135. 5:30know so I'll make an in-depth laring
136. 5:34tutorial revised soon I'm currently busy
137. 5:38with the next video which is a bubble
138. 5:40phonation video it's okay if you don't
139. 5:41know what that is I'll cover it that's
140. 5:43the point of a tutorial as you know um
141. 5:46but yeah I'm going to work hard with
142. 5:48that video however that one's taking a
143. 5:50really long time oh my God I'm so sorry
144. 5:53all right all right last
145. 5:55misconception I'm too old to get a girl
146. 5:58Voice or even I'm too young young to get
147. 6:00a girl voice I've I've been asked both
148. 6:03I've been told both and like not really
149. 6:06that's not really how it works the kind
150. 6:08of ways our voice changes as we get
151. 6:11older aren't that different between a
152. 6:13sign sex as a birth however a voice post
153. 6:17puberty will have thicken vocal
154. 6:19faults but if you Lear to arange your
155. 6:21larynx and other techniques you can
156. 6:23achieve any sound as this woman can make
157. 6:26no matter when you start just keep in
158. 6:28mind voice training takes time it may be
159. 6:32harder than you
160. 6:33anticipated and the time commitment
161. 6:36required is inherently kind of
162. 6:39frustrating but don't give up okay just
163. 6:41cuz something doesn't happen straight
164. 6:42away doesn't mean it's impossible I mean
165. 6:45if you learn a language you're not going
166. 6:46to speak the language straight away you
167. 6:49got to build up with building blocks
168. 6:51trans voice is the same we get better
169. 6:53and better and better and better I
170. 6:55didn't sound perfect when I started my
