Why doesn't she- the bigger one- not simply eat the other one?

Oh, she does? Perhaps humans are more ruthless than I thought.

[-] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 27 points 2 months ago

So ruthless sometimes the smaller one eats the bigger one

[-] oftheair 9 points 2 months ago

Humans are strange, not bad, but they have a lot of things they need to get over.

The only voice training I need to hear is how loud you can howl >:3

moves your castle

[-] DexiMachina@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Pretty loud if Werewolves of London is playing.

[-] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 48 points 2 months ago

Mann I really wanna try to voice train but hearing my own voice regularly is already kinda embarrassing, let alone trying to do new things with it

[-] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 months ago

If you find your current voice embarrassing, then your new voice can only be better 👍😁

[-] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Are you any good at impersonations? You could always pick a woman who's voice you like and copy them. I have a friend who did that. She dramatically changed her accent, which was weird but she also definitely sounds feminine.

[-] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Sadly I'm terrible at impressions, and I hate trying to do them because I feel like I always embarrass myself even when I'm alone 😅

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

aww that's the fun of impressions. if you don't like embarrassing yourself in front of the cats i don't see how you could enjoy doing them

[-] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Yeahhh. I do like doing a high voice at our cat but as soon as she leaves or I do it for more than a moment then I start to feel a crushing awkwardness. At least I can practice a little a few moments at a time here and there

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I've gotten used to mst3k-ing the video games I'm playing for the cats when they're in the room. I'm not funny enough to be a streamer, but I'm funny enough for them.

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 33 points 2 months ago

[-] deacon@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

That is really fucking ſexy.

[-] QueenMidna@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago

Wait there's people who might like that I don't voice train?

[-] TotallynotJessica 22 points 2 months ago

I like cuties as they are, with deep voices or perfectly fem passing ones. It's not a major factor for me.

[-] QueenMidna@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

Well I've got one of those

[-] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

So do i, especially my singing voice (if Jonny Cash sang an octave lower). But my voice has always bothered me, as in it's the changeable thing that gives me most dysphoria (well that and the hair). I've always felt a shudder down my spine whenever I head a recording of my voice. So I can't imagine not training my voice.

I get self conscious about my voice because I did vocal training in my youth to deepen my voice. I'm not sure if I could train it to be more feminine at all

[-] Hexarei@beehaw.org 4 points 2 months ago

I did the same, can hit notes down into the D2 range. But I'm apparently starting to get more passable with my voice because I've been ma'am'd on the phone a time or two.

Your vocal muscles are way more flexible than you think!

[-] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 1 points 1 month ago

Then you have experienced that voice training do indeed work! As a musician, doing voice training have open up my singing range both upwards and downwards.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

yeah there's people like me. i mean i'm taken, but i know we exist

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 months ago

I can't wait to be finished with my SLT apprenticeship to be able to give voice training to trans folk :) It's also on our curriculum for our voice therapy classes - looking forward to it.

Only thing I don't know right now is if I'll be able to give tips to transfem as a cis male. Maybe with sufficient experience or advanced training courses

[-] LwL@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

As someone who has looked into voice training a lot, at least the basic ideas I'm sure you can. None of it is necessarily specific to transfems and I would assume all the mechanisms behind feminizing your voice will be covered. The part that people might ask about that's more specific is probably which parts are most important for being recognized as feminine (and the answer from what I gathered is kinda just "it's complicated but it's not just pitch").

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

what I gathered is kinda just “it’s complicated but it’s not just pitch”).

i'm a musician, so this is the way i think of it: men sound like woodwinds, women sound like strings. sometimes the pitches overlap, but usually women are an octave higher. if you start as a lyric soprano and can stretch yourself down to alto, or as a bass stretching yourself up to a tenor, you can get the rest of the way to "passing" just by changing your tone and cadence.
