Do you attempt to use a feminine voice?

Hi Catherine,

I worked on my fem voice for a few weeks, but don't obsess over it.  I have quite a few lengthy conversations with general public (mostly men trying to get in my pants but whatever LMAO).

Anyhow, something I tell people who are trying to work on their fem voice: 1) speak softer and more breathy.  2) speak naturally without the added "man trying to be fem accent" my gay male friends often speak with.  3) To find your pitch, put your hand on your chest and "feel" the vibrations.  In your man voice, you'll feel the vibrations in your chest.  Once you can speak without feeling any vibrations in your chest, you will have found your "normal" fem voice.

I have so many conversations with people now in fem that I actually have to think about NOT speaking in fem voice while out in guy mode!

It took me a while and a bit of effort, but as I love going out, I took the trouble to learn. Some videos, and lots of practice. I'm still not thrilled with it, but my wife says I pass and there's no higher opinion for me to meet. We go out and go through shops just chattering away at each other, nobody even looks. At DMV today the nice lady helping me said ma'am and didn't carry an eye at my voice, but did give me a little look when I showed her my old dl... which didn't look a thing like me, wonder why? I don't know what you have to work with in the way of a natural voice, but basically you'll need to soften it, and perhaps raise it some, but not too much. You may need to slow down a little, and you'll want to study speech patterns and listen to how women your age in your area talk. Usually there's a difference.

Just my $.02

I do use a fem voice.  I have had alot of speech training which has helped.  I have been told it is very good. Like a Sally Kellerman voice.

HA HA HA HA
Thanks for the laugh Grace.............Needed it.

Use to be pretty good with my fem voice except on longer talks and all. But after my facial surgery and trach shave and some fem voice surgery its pretty natural now. Still suggested maybe some speech therapy if choose to. Feel pretty confident now with out it.

It’s something I think about and definitely need to work on. When out, en femme, I’ll try to practice a few lines while driving to my destination and sound just ok. But my natural rough male voice always takes over. Yuck!

Your dogs names is Twopoos?  Hahaha nice! 🤣

Oh my Catherine, you have no idea. Twopoos is just the beginning of Ms Plumb’s brilliance.  You really must check the archives for her Country Files posts.  And Steph, if you’re reading this, we could really use a new installment just about now.

Hi Catherine!

Naw... I want to look the best I can for my age all dressed to the nines in nylons, dress, leather jacket, and cowboy boots, then pull up somewhere on my BIG cruiser motorcycle, take my helmet off, shake my long hair and say in a deep voice, "Hey, how's it going, boys!?"

I do not attempt a femme/higher pitched voice. When I'm dressed, I'm naturally feminine with my gestures and projection, but affecting my voice feels really odd and unnatural to me, so I don't do it. My feeling is that if I'm actually close enough to someone to be speaking with them, then there is little chance that they think I'm a GG. Using my natural voice lets them know that I know that I'm not fooling anyone and that I am what I am and I think that might make other people more comfortable with the interaction. Anyway, that is what works best for me.

Catherine, unfortunately, I naturally have a pretty deep, masculine voice. So, when I'm en femme, I don't really know how to make my voice feminine, but I do try to speak more softly. It helps when talking to someone in a quieter environment, but not so much someplace loud. I hope to someday find someone who can teach me to speak in a more feminine way, but I'm not there yet.

Catherine, I do use a feminine voice when dressed. I practice a lot and I think I'm getting better but I still have a ways to go.

Hugs, Liara

Very very 😢 sad
