Thank you for experimenting and posting this! It’s really helpful to have confirmation of what we’ve been telling folk starting training.

Voice Tools is nice to get pitch where you want it and to monitor how consistent you are with it, but pitch alone is truly insufficient for voice feminization and people tend to get too focused on it because of apps like this.

keep taking and saving selfies girl! especially the ones you’re not super proud of. soon you’re going to love where you’re at and looking back to see how far you have come is so satisfying. don’t share them, of course. unless you’re proud and want to celebrate. i have like 100-ish over the last two years and it’s insane to just flip through start to now.

i’m really happy that you enjoy voice training. it’s hard and discouraging for a lot of people. if you like it, you’ll actually train and you’ll end up with a voice you love before you know it.

i was also lucky to take to it so positively. what worked for me was a few months of practice where i’d train for 15-45 minutes everyday but use my old voice otherwise. then i switched 100%. literally 100% fem, no exceptions. it was pretty rough at first and i was pretty self conscious about it but very quickly it became second nature. i imagine it’s similar in some sense to learning a language by immersion.

definitely save some recordings of yourself as you progress. it’s really cool to hear how your voice changes throughout your training. keep recording after you “graduate” too. my voice is still changing and refining and i haven’t done any formal training in a year or so. so long as you can hear yourself and pay attention you’ll never find yourself backsliding.
