I love spending a day as a woman out in the world. There’s nothing quite as liberating and uplifting as when I look out with the eyes of the woman inside and dare for a few hours to live the life I long for. When I’m truly in my feminine zone it’s as if the shafts of sunlight themselves are signing a chorus of beautiful music just for me to hear. It’s those same soprano voices that quickly dissipate when I open my mouth to speak, unleashing a discordant clang of the deep unwelcome stranger within. Needless to say this can be quite jarring to the unsuspecting person I’m talking to, and many a time I’ve seen a flighting look of perplexed surprise dance across the face of my conversation companion.
It’s with a longing for the beautiful music of my femininity to continue that I have spent (and am yet to spend) countless hours practicing my feminine voice. For the last few months I’ve been following the Voice Feminization training program created by Kathy Perez. I must admit that all the pitch and resonance practice seems to be paying some small dividends, though I realize the path to a ‘passable female voice’ is still yet long and arduous. I’m learning slowly to not to hesitate before I speak, and not to hold back because I’m afraid my voice will out me.
What do you do to sound more feminine? Are there specific exercises you practice, techniques you use or training courses you’ve taken to hone your transgender voice?

It’s Official – Crossdressers Sit To Pee
In the last crossdressing poll I asked how many crossdressers sit to pee. I was surprised at the overwhelming number of crossdressers who sit to pee at least some of the time. 95% of you lovely ladies share in one of the more inconvenient necessities of life as a woman. It makes me proud that so many of you are willing to sit for a while in their shoes.
[...] dear readers. I thought it was wonderfully timed, given how we’ve just been talking about feminine voice, and how it can sometimes prove a daunting challenge to even the most courageous among [...]
I've recentally been cast as the crossdresser Angel in a college production of the musical Rent, which is fantastic seeing as I've been crossdressing since I was 14…The director has no idea though.
Anyway I've been trying desperately to work on my feminine voice and singing and I've tried to find a free download of one of those femine voice training progams because there's no way for me to pay for one…I can't find one anywhere.
I'm 16 and I've always had this problem with money (i.e. having none), I've never been able to buy any facial products or clothes and it drives me mad…my skin is really suffering. I've been using my mum's when she's not around…she noticed that it was going missing though which was a bit awkward. Is there any help on this website for people with no money at all? I'm lost…
I follow the written stuff on my website as well as the video tutorials there. I found that what Sarah Jones had to say was probably the most profound in its simplicity. I also enjoyed Candifla of course. The thing that ‘did it’ for me was learning how to raise my voice box and get rid of the resonance. I had a lot and it changed my whole voice sound and I am ‘almost’ there in terms of a feminine voice. I not longer get a ‘sir’ on the phone. Not yet a madam but no longer a sir anyhow.
Hope that helps 
Hi everyone
I tried to become a male singer since I was about ten. Even made a few albums [went no where LOL]. So my biggest problem was resonance and how to lose it. I am fifty now so after almost forty years of trying to GET resonance it was extremely difficult to remove it for me.
My one advantage was that I knew where to hold my throat, tongue etc to get certain sounds. After about 18 months I now sound feminine enough to no longer get a sir on the phone. Soon I hope to get a Ma’am.
I follow the section on Voice Tutorials on my own website.

Hopefully it can be of some help to others as well.
The video by Sarah Jones I found most helpful after watching it about the third time. I guess I am slow, but I think it was because it was so simple I missed it.
Enjoy and hope you get it soon as well.

For a person that is going to totally transition to being femme, is
there an operation that you could have for the voice?????
Thanks

Hey Karen,
I don’t recommend voice feminization surgery. Results are decidedly mixed, and you could end up forever damaging your voice. While it takes some (okay a lot!) of work without surgery it’s safer and more effective.
