    while I don't think trans women should need to voice train, this is actually a just-for-fun transition goal of mine! did you have a professional voice coach, or are there some resources you used?

      You know TransVoiceLessons on youtube, I tried desperately to overcome my autism and understand which parts of my throat she is talking about. I think I have the basic idea of it down at least, I can make funny vocalisations c:

        TransVoiceLessons

        she's so cool, I need to actually train instead of just watching her videos some day.

        I tried desperately to overcome my autism and understand which parts of my throat she is talking about.

        oh my god this is such a mood. I always have either direct control of a body part and no ability to use muscle memory, or I am incapable of finding the specific muscles I'm supposed to be using because that function of my body is so autonomous.

          She's kinda based, I like her albums too, cool stuff.

          I know right?? I can do various things with my larynx sometimes but I have very poor control over it honestly, it's hard trans-heart

            honestly super mad that I got made fun of so much for practicing different voices as a kid that I stopped, imagine if I'd kept that vocal flexibility through to now and could just slip into masculine, feminine, or androgynous voice at will.
