I want to get as many resources possible for myself and other gender-queer folks who frequent here.
I recently searched "transfem voice training" or something similar and these are my findings:
https://medium.com/@voicebykylie/advanced-techniques-for-vocal-resonance-an-mtf-trans-voice-training-guide-part-1-cb50fb65e098
Some nice exercises, well structured, with nice explanations on why I am supposed to do something. Which I appreciate.
https://www.undeadvoice.com/guide
Didn't go through everything yet, but I like the way the information is also written out, and the videos are short and informative. I found it easy to follow. There is a lot of good fundamental information of what voice training actually consits of, what you are actually doing. Also there is a downloadable guide. With the audio included.
https://www.reddit.com/r/transvoice/comments/d3clhe/ls_voice_training_guide_level_1_for_mtf/
I've only briefly looked at it, it has been updated in the last 4 months, so it's at least actual.
https://buymeacoffee.com/alyssavt/how-i-start-voice-training-start-here This is also a really good guide, the style is better than undead, less corporate. Recommended to me here on hexbear.
https://www.voicebykylie.com/blog Also a good guide, but it suffers a bit from being hard to immideatly find what you need.
I think AlyssaVT, Voicebykyle and Undeadvoice have the most comprehensive and well organised lesson plans.
I prefer text, cause it makes the information easier to parse for me, rather than watching someone talk into a camera, but it is of course very useful to have audiofiles as well.

@TransVoiceLessons
i found these videos really helpful, but ultimately, you already sound like you, love yourself or whatever (i am required to say this to myself), on the other hand plenty of cis people alter their voices and no one bats an eye
p.s. drink plenty of water, and cough instead of clearing your throat with a little hep hemm cause it strains your muscles, google some vocal warm ups to do in the morning
p.p.s. oh and if you raise your voice in my head, thinking in a higher pitch etc, your larynx will actually make tiny movements to match, thats fun. Keep in mind pitch isnt anywhere close to the most important thing
I've been aware of her for a while, she's pretty great. The coughing thing is helpful, I'm gonna give that a go
This is the one I have been using. I am only on video 4 but liking it a lot.
https://voxnovastudio.com/ Studio run by Selene, she gives public and private lessons on her discord server(Link on this site) and there are many free resources available on the server as well. When I was actively voice training, I did lessons with selene, and would just hop on the voice servers and talk with a lot of fun trans folks around the world. Really helps with those early jitters of using your voice in my experience too!
acousticgender.space (it gets affected by accents and can only reliably parse English but it's a great tool for comparing different voices you do)
