Femme voice

[Jennifer Griffiths]

Just a quick question for all the beautiful ladies on this site.

 

When you go out dressed up, do you make your best attempt to use a feminine voice? As I would like to have a pretty and higher voice, mine is deep and I rarely get time to train.

 

Do you just forget about it, or try your best to “pass”?

I generally just concentrate on speaking in a softer voice. I know a number of women with deeper than normal voices, but they all speak in a softer tone than men. I’ve been doing it so long that it just kind of happens automatically now when the wig goes on.

I tend to speak in a softer tone. If dealing with a cashier or where a ‘thank you’ is required I would look at the person and breathe the words and it works well for short answers.

I try, probably sound more like a cartoon character 😅, but, what the heck anyways. Ill keep on trying.
Good luck!!

I really can’t say I’ve tried hard to do that.  I do have a fairly normal male voice.  When out (only 4 times so far) I haven’t given it a conscious thought.  I’ll be interested to read other’s experiences.

I pretty much do the same as Angela. If it’s just a short few words I will use a slightly higher, breathy voice but if it requires anything longer than that I use my regular voice. I try to speak softer and slower but it does not hide the fact that I am a male.

I’m working to perfect an acceptable female sounding voice. So far I can do it in short bursts, not conversant at all but enough to order a meal. I’m not sure if it is truly effective, but I have not been clocked because of it yet, at least to my knowledge. I’ve made recordings, they sound OK, but a long way to go to consider it truly effective.

The best way to describe it is I am using the upper register  of my singing voice – head voice they call it – but speaking rather than singing. Not easy to stay up there!  I was quite glad when virtually everyone at Keystone was using their regular voices!

It can be done girls, but it does take commitment, time, and practice. I started to try speaking in a feminine voice when I started going out dressed at the age of 14, and have perfected it since then as the years went by. I work with many people and guests at a reception desk, and I don’t think I could have successfully transitioned at work if I wasn’t able to speak in a feminine voice.  I don’t have a deep voice, never have, my singing voice is actually called a counter tenor, which means I can actually sing alto parts.

There are lots of online voice coaches that you can watch for free. I learned from a choir director where my natural singing voice is, and a lot of the techniques are similar to a lot of voice coaching. You can actually learn how to raise your larynx, or voice box, and train your muscles to keep your voice box in a higher position. As was mentioned you also learn to speak from the upper register of your singing voice.   I am so used to speaking in this voice now that it has become my natural voice, I don’t even have to try as it’s what comes out as soon as I speak. I actually have to think about how to speak in the old boy voice, and it sounds so horrid why would I want to anyway.

Hugs girls,

Wow! Amazing advice! Thank you.

[Liara Wolfe]

I try my best to sound like a woman.

Yes, I do modify my speaking voice. I speak at a slightly higher register, perhaps a few notes up on the scale. I have a fairly wide vocal range and I used the Eva voice app which helped immeasurably.

[Autumn Gold]

I usually don’t venture out, agreement with the wife. I also do not have the time and energy to put into the voice practice. There are many free lessons on youtube that I have looked at. I figure that if I eventually go out and have not worked on this, I would try to whisper my words. I know that won’t work in all situations, but it is a loose plan until I can dedicate the time for change.
