Wanted to get some feedback on my voice (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been doing some voice training by reading to my mum from a book (Cornelia Funke's "Drachenreiter" in German) and I've recorded me while reading 2 chapters each in these recordings:

I just wanted some feedback from people who don't know me personally on how it sounds. If it sounds feminine or if you have some tips on how to improve maybe.

Thank you! ♥️

I mostly practiced with the whisper siren exercise: https://youtu.be/F6Noi2qERus

I practiced that every time I found space in my day and then I also practiced by just reading aloud for myself (news articles mostly) and recorded that with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DevExtras.VoiceTools which helped me get the pitch down although the female and male ranges can be misleading since my mum for example goes into the male range sometimes and is mostly in the lower female range and also in the androgynous range of pitch.

But getting the resonance down with the whisper siren exercise is the most important thing.

The hardest part for me so far was actually using my voice in front of another person though. My mum is the only person so far that has heard my new voice in person 😅

Edit: this all happened over the course of almost a year with multi month breaks in between because I got a bit discouraged without real feedback from other people and I didn't take any voice lessons from professionals.

I went over some lessons talking about raising the larynx at first, but got discouraged and focused on some other stuff. I feel I'm a bit better equipped now to just work on that, so thank you for the great video <3

Also helps to hear your one year progress

Do you know if it's possible to practice before beginning hrt?, I was wondering how would my voice sound or does it change a lot after beginning the treatment?

Unfortunately your voice doesn't change at all through HRT. And yes you can definitely begin before HRT I did so myself.
