I think with practice, I could actually learn to raise my fundamental above that a bit to at least E3. These female voices are described as "husky" but they still sound distinctly female. I measured her fundamental tone as C3, an entire octave lower than the recommended C4. Later I found an audiobook read by a sexy woman's whose voice I loved (and have been trying to imitate). that's not something I could ever do or would need to do for my voice to pass as a female one. I do hope to extend my range and be able to sing a C4 comfortably after a couple months of training, but using that as the fundamental tone for me speaking would be absurd. I was pretty discouraged after watching this one, since that's out of my range (unless I use falsetto, which is a terrible idea and not recommended at all because it sounds totally fake). For example, one video I saw insisted that you must get your fundamental tone up to a C4 (middle C) to be recognized a female. If you have a low male range (like me) then raising it at least a bit is necessary, but you probably don't need to raise it as far as some of the videos suggest. The acceptable male vocal range and female vocal range overlaps quite a bit if you already have a high male range then it may not be necessary to raise it at all. But more important is the "resonance" people can hear voices that have the same pitch but identify one as strongly male and the other as strongly female, just based on the resonance. Most videos focus on raising the pitch of the voice. But if there is one magic bullet, I think it's the adam's apple trick described in this video and a few other places I've found online. I've seen everything from hypnosis to subliminal suggestion offered as the "trick that worked for me!", and probably the most important thing it comes down to is "try to speak in a more feminine voice every day, by reading things and counting, etc., and eventually you'll get better at it". But if you're going to watch just one, this is definitely the one. The others were each useful in various ways, some more than others. If anyone is curious, especially if you are interested in trying this yourself, I can save you a lot of time sifting through Youtube videos by just linking you to the one that really stands out as the best out of the 20 or so I've watched: Having listened to a lot of before and after examples is the main thing that gives me confidence listening to my own voice does not-I have managed to change it a little, but not nearly enough to pass as a female voice-and as soon as I kind of get something in that direction, it reverts soon after unless I'm consciously focusing on it.
It will take a lot of practice and daily exercises, stretching and training my vocal chords, but I feel fairly confident at this point that it's at least possible.

But after all that investigation, things are finally starting to come together and I feel like I kind of have a sense of what the main goals need to be and how to go about accomplishing them. (Some of those I've ended up going back and watching a second or third time if I found them good.) Interspersed with that I've also read a lot of blogs and articles on it, and joined a mailing list of 4000 people all trying to accomplish the same goal.Īt first the more I read, the more confused I got about the crazy diversity of different approaches people take, and the different conflicting terms they use to describe how to speak and what to do. I've probably watched at least 20 of them so far, which amounts to several hours of information. Over the past month, I've gotten kind of obsessed with watching different Youtube tutorials on how to change your voice from male to female.
