Okay, of course I sympathize with trans women who don't have time to train their voice because they're super busy, but.... this is like a thing you can fix! Why is it being depicted as a permanent problem?

>>
>>7766527
I have no fucking clue. Either they don't understand how to do it or they just don't put in the work. I finally put in the work after years of having a faggy transvoice, like really put in the work over the course of a few months, and I finally got rid of it. I assume most people could do the same. Either that, or VFS.

I just really don't enjoy actually training it.
I'll try to sing along to everything femininely but that's about. The rare times I recorded my voice it sounded kinda flamboyant to me.

I do sometimes get called ma'am over the phone with strangers even when I give my legal(male) name though so IDK maybe I get away with it.
>>
its fine for people that a naturally pretty feminine voice, but the voice in that video is gross
>>
>>7766574
VFS, when used to augment a properly trained voice, is dope. If youre anything below a tenor and cant extend your rsnge up much it really can help
>>
>>7766527
Holy shit, her voice is really bad.

My voice is fem but I look very unpassable and manly compared to her. If I could I would rather have what she has. ;____;
>>
Is it possible to be able to sing with a trained voice? Like singing like a cis soprano woman and not a baritone.
>>
TELL ME HOW TO TRAIN MY VOICE
>>
>>7766610
they're saying that when you start to yell or scream you'll sound like a bro, because trans girls usually don't go the extra mile.
>>
>>7766527
Because it's the only thing about being a tranny that actually takes effort
>>
>>7766527
I never really understand training besides moving the adams apple up and working on it being more fem.

Things like resonance go right over my head, I just don't get it whatsoever
>>

>>7766527
I was misgendered before transition all the time based on my voice. I didnt need the training.

some of these problems seemed pretty dumb and contrived desu

"If I drop my towel now he'll definitely know I'm trans"

Like Laith you are the most swole guy in the fucking gym no one thinks ur trans, just dont drop your towel who just drops their towel.

And that guy who went into the mens room and all the stalls were broken so he was like "NOT AGAIN!" like how often does that happen to him? Is England that shitty that all the stalls are usually broken? American here and our toilets aren't shit lmao
>>
Also the guy at the gynecologist and like everyone's looking at him and stuff??? Like that never happens they just assume you're someones bf or dad or husband
>>
>>7766527
if you need to train your voice in order to sound female then sorry to say you aren't really trans...
>>
>>7766527
This is the reason I can't bear to watch any videos about trannies. No matter how good they look, their voices never ever pass.
>>
>>7766595

It's not like I've had VFS, but it seems to me that trying to speak loudly would go badly whether or not you had the surgery. It's just a staple in your vocal cords, isn't it? Also, I'm agreeing with >>7769128.

ikr i was like "i thought this video was about trannies"
>>
>>7767229
Obviously not, it's a physical difference between male and females, not just that we got used to different ways to speak.
>>
1. because it's a lot of fucking work

2. because i don't visually pass and never will. i'm 6'2" and have wide shoulders with a masculine face. having a female voice won't do anything except make me even freakier to strangers

3. because every trans chick i've ever heard doing voice training sounds like a cringy as fuck chipmunk, and sounds so fucking forced. i've only seen like 1 trans chick actually pull off the voice thing. you're not fooling anyone, you don't sound like a fuckin woman. sorry.

4. because i'm a depressed piece of shit who's hit a roadblock in my transition because i realized i had unrealistic expectations about becoming female and passing, when i never had a chance to begin with. what's the fuckin point?
>>
>>7771152
>3. because every trans chick i've ever heard doing voice training sounds like a cringy as fuck chipmunk, and sounds so fucking forced.

No, that's what happens if you don't do voice training. Unless you're referring to the normal faggy transvoice as "voice training" now, even though it requires almost zero effort.

>>
>>7771278
Just remember to actually train, on top of the VFS, or else you will still sound uncanny.
>>
>>7766527
It is HARD!

All that bizarre fucking concentration!

I feel so much less able to "talk en femme" than before, and my voice doesn't shift / slide into that often enough for it to take over properly.

Yeah i'm not looking forward to it. According to the doctor all previous vouce trainning is pretty much useless after and you gotta do his version that doesn't require tightening your vocal cords.

Worst case scenario i'll have a month to practice being mute.

Anyone here who's trained their voice have problems with vocal fatigue? I've been practicing for more than a year, and while my voice passes I can't talk for long periods before I start violently coughing because it feels like I'm swallowing rocks...
>>
>>7771428
>Who did you see?
Yeson, Dr. Kim, in Korea.
>How much was it?
Almost 8k USD for the surgery alone. add an extra 2ish-3ish thousands for flights, food, hotel.
>Any concerns?
honestly im just dying to know how i sound... I know that i'll sound like shit for the first couple months of speaking but I'm curious as FUCK, its killing me
>>
>>7771417
What's it like living as a mute for three weeks?
>>
>>7771587

it sucks and i miss talking... 8 more days until i can try and re-teach myself how to speak again.

it wasn't so bad when i was with one friend in korea. but when i got home to family i missed speaking even more. at this point 22 days in, im like.... fuck.

it sucks yeah but time flys more or less.
>>
>>7771509
I have this problem all the time. I've been training my voice for over a year as well, and it passes well but it's extremely hard to keep it up at work. I do fine for like the first hour. Halfway through my shift it's so difficult to do it right. Lots of throat-clearing because my throat gets so congested for some reason. My neck gets insanely tense which causes my voice to raise abnormally high, which stresses me out and causes me to tense up and struggle more, vicious cycle ensues.

I don't know what to do about it. I hate how much I have to clear my throat, trying to discreetly do it so no one will hear is frustrating.
>>
>>7771670
How do you clear your throat? Gargling or something?
>>
>>7771620
Do you work?
>>
>>7771691
Just by regular throat clearing. You know, *ahem* as quiet as you possibly can manage. It doesn't work very well.

Usually the best solution is hot tea with a bit of almond milk. Not really an option at work so I just suffer trying in vain to clear my throat.

If I can get my neck to relax it's usually not so bad, but that's really hard to do.
>>
>>7771695
Not who you asked, but this is my problem. I want my tracheal shave so bad, but I don't know how I'm going to just "not work" for a month. Even if I had the money, there's not a chance in hell of being out that long.

What do?
>>
>>7771695
kinda
>>7771691
carefully, and softly
>>
>>7771706
But healing from a trach shave takes only a few days at most?
>>
>>7771720
I recall it was two weeks. That's still a stretch to be out of work for me.
>>
>>7769124
Same, I've kinda given up on voice training.
>>
>>7766527
I got a job in a call centre and focused to speak like a bimbo. eventually it evens out.

if you sound a woman on the phone generally you sound like a girl.
>>
>>7772080
Cis people are fucking stupid though, I got ma'amed even before I really trained my voice thoroughly.
>>
>>7772109
so, doesnt matter. like 90+ % is cis so who's winning in those circumstances. plus, people see you are evidently trying to give a fuck about your presentation. unless you sound like a dumb queer squeeky chipmunk, its all good
>>
>>7771728
I had a trachea shave and the only thing it limits you for like a week is talking. And by that I mean loud talking, you can still talk quiet without a problem.
>>
>>7766527
it IS a permanent problem for some people
e.g. I have a muscle condition that stops me from being able to control my voice much in general, I struggle to enunciate my words let alone voice train :( and there's a lot of people with less severe conditions than me who still struggle to voice train at all as a result
>>
>>7771152

Then why are you socially transitioning if you don't pass physically and you're not willing to put in the work to train your voice? If you're not presenting yourself as a woman in public, then the criticism is not aimed at you.

>>7771417

Make sure to make a thread when you can start speaking.

>>7771544

>Dr. Kim

I wonder how much he makes for what must be a relatively safe surgery. He must be laughing at all his med school friends who went into high stress surgeries that probably pay about the same in a year's work.

You are never going to be a woman.
It is better that people learn to accept variation than that we all try to conform to some arbitrary and unobtainable "norm".
Trying to become invisible is missing the point.
The point is to become accepted as you are, not to change and become like them.

He's a very busy man, he does a surgery a day in the morning, and then continues to see peephole until like 5ish.

He sure as hell knows what he's doing tho, hopefully. He explains everything so in depth and really makes sure you are doing okay.

But to answer your question, he's deffs rolling in dosh now since the traffic from VFS picked up heavily.
>>
>>7767160
People say my voice already passes, but I want it to be effortless, and actually a bit higher. Also this whole thing that I feel, that my voice slips a bit if ive get tired from using it ALL day, or if I've been smoking/drinking and yelling.
Would VFS be a good option for me?
>>
This is going to sound weird but I trained my voice playing a lot of Call of Duty when I was younger and messing with my voice until I got my voice feminine enough so that I can switch between my real voice and feminine voice. Got good enough and started pretending I was in relationships with people just to get free microsoft points and stuff. Those were dark times.

I liked that. I could relate with a lot of it; the scenarios are very typical for a normal trans person. I thought it was well edit and the acting was good too. I also appreciated that it depicted normal trans people who are socially adjusted, instead of pink haired tumblrinas.

Thanks for sharing OP, even if you are being a snide cunt about it.

this is the shit you put at the forefront of trans problems??

where are the trannies getting the shit kicked out of them by nazis?
where are the trannies getting declines jobs because they might scare customers?
where are the trannies being escorted away from children because people think they're perverts?
where are the trannies being stabbed in an alley after nearly fucking a straight guy?


do these things not happen?
fucking whiners, this is pathetic

good, because, idk . cis people tell me they like my voice,
femgen says I sound like a girl, a trap discord I was part of said they thought I was a cis girl, and online gaming I'll opening my mouth and guys will be like, "whoa dude we have a girl on our team"
