I seem to be in a good place right now in regards to the general health of my larynx. A good time to start on my voice.

I can actually sound feminine with relative ease, but there's a catch: only with a strong regional British accent. Can I sound like a woman from Belfast? Yes! Glasgow? Absolutely! Birmingham? Yeah. Am I from any of those places? Nope!

I can also sound feminine while I'm singing, but I'm not going to go around acting like I'm in a Gilbert and Sullivan play, so I need to work on sounding like a feminine me. So I need a famous woman or character who has close to a relatively neutral RP English (leaning slightly towards Scottish but not much) and a large amount of spoken recordings like interviews and acting roles.

Any suggestions?

NB: my accent is in no way posh or plummy. Kind of lower middle class.

Just imagine being a living musical ๐Ÿ˜‚

I wish you good luck finding a reference voice.

Are you doing professional training or logopaedic sessions?

Nope, I plan to listen to my own voice along side a reference voice and making the necessary alterations. My partner is going to be more comfortable with my original voice, but I'll eventually want to have a female voice I can use with the general public.
