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

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

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

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

          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

          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!

    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

      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”).

        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.
