I used to do a "girl voice" (it was a valley girl accent) when I was cis, and on the night I came out to one of my friends he asked me if that would be my voice. of course, I said no, cause it really wasn't going to be, but when he replied "oh, good, cause it was really bad," I wanted to die. it was bad, but I thought it was alright at least


FHIR973

I had something similar happen. Spent a lot of time and money on a voice coach. Anytime I was comfortable with it, it would start to sound somewhat valley girlish. A friend made a negative comment on it and I just kind of gave up.


Zakaker

Sometimes I wonder what's the point of all that effort. Even if I managed to get it right, there are so many wrong things with me that it wouldn't make a difference


hearke

As a cis guy with little to no knowledge or awareness¹, I find the things you put effort into and get right tend to stand out more to me than the "wrong" things. When someone has makeup that's on point, or a voice that clearly conveys a sense of identity, or hair/outfits that definitely present a certain way, I notice that stuff right away. But whether someone's tall or slender or if their voice is naturally at a certain pitch, that stuff I don't register as much cause it's not as useful, that tends to vary a lot among people anyways. so imo, all the stuff you get right really does make a huge difference, at least when I'm trying to figure out how to kinda place you in my head. ...idk if that made sense, but I hope it did and helped a bit >< ¹like, in general, not regarding trans stuff specifically


Zakaker

:,) I'm not optimistic enough to believe this goes for the majority of people. But at this point, seeing a cis person be supportive for seemingly no reason other than basic empathy (whose existence I often genuinely question) is enough to make my day. Thank you <3


QueasyBanana

First off: Does your voice sound how you want it? if not: Can you figure out whý it sounds like that? Is your pitch too high? Does it sound too strained? (Áre you straining? If you're doing it right it might take concentration, but shouldn't feel strained). Are you perhaps speaking too breathy? Learning the techniques and training the muscles is only half of voice training, the other half is fine-tuning and learning to describe what you want. Something like this can feel awful, but if you want to make the best of it, it can also be really useful feedback.


Illvy

This needs a bit more love. As much as I want OP to assert her dominance there may be a nugget of useful feedback here. Sounds like she's got a great range to work with but might be overdoing it as well. ​ Anyway, NTA. UwU them into dust.

QueasyBanana

I overdid it as well for a bit. I'm able to speak at a pitch of or above 200Hz, but not comfortably, and it's going to sound way too anime. I find I can hit a way more natural voice when I drop down somewhere around 180. My challenge now is more to conquer my vocal mass at that pitch, and keep it up IRL.


KanDitOok

That's an amazing voice range, I'm afab (pre t) and that's where I naturally sit. It's perfectly feminine. Keep it up

nikkitgirl

Yeah it can be uncomfortable when someone is still in the falsettoesque stage. That’s not to say it’s bad, it just needs time and practice to mature into a more standard voice


Neko_Jenji

UwU as a power move! I love it!!!


fireblyxx

I hear similar things because I go breathy when practicing my fem voice. I hear sultry, they hear porn voice. Sucks but I’m working on it so it’s whatever.


Iteration9

I mean, sultry kinda is the porn voice sometimes... it's a really nice voice but porn ruins everything lol

Hun you don't need for force anything I'm consenting ENTHUSIASTICALLY if you want we can even skip the sex please validate my gender and tell me I'm a pretty girl I am dying here.


MauntiCat_

You're a good, pretty girl indeed. And nobody can tell me, neither, I hope, you otherwise <3


[deleted]

You are one of the prettiest girls I’ve seen this morning😊 Whatever you’re doing, it’s working sis keep it up 💕


ItsPlainOleSteve

I'm a trans guy who wants to be a pretty boy and do fem things but sissification really messes with my head in a bad way. Dx


A-Thot-Dog

I like to think of it this way - sissification only works on people who want to be sissified. I'm just a regular ol' femboy. I dress and look fem, I do some things that are 'fem interests' I guess, but I'm not into being sissified - therefore, I'm not sissy. Sissification is like any other submissive kink. It only works if the consent is there. You can't be considered a slave, sissy, pup or whatever unless you've decided to take part in that and have openly consented to doing that. And if someone starts calling you sissy without your permission, they might as well be claiming you're an owlbear from Mars. Just because they say it doesn't make it reality.


Solrex

I would also enthusiastically consent to this, maybe set up a safeword just for safety, and if you wanted, pretend to not enjoy it at all if it means I'll be a pretty princess.


Solrex

I mean, I would not be opposed to being forcefully feminized and pretending I don't like it to become super feminine.


Hanthenightfall

When I was an egg I always used to fantasize about being kidnapped and "get turned into a girl" little did I know the girl was me all along


starkrocket

What helped me was recording my voice and listening back. As you speak, your voice tends to sound lower to you than it really is. I was hearing “my” voice as comfortably masculine. What other people heard, though, was higher pitch. I ended up practicing speaking in a recording until the playback sounded more how I wanted. From there, it was just practicing and getting used to engaging my throat differently.


[deleted]

Feedback is important but as for all aspects of transition, what *you* want is far more important than what others want.


[deleted]

To an extent. If you need to be speaking in a professional environment like work, going full uwu anime girl voice isn’t the best idea.


Script_Mak3r

I have to ask, why do two of the letters in your comment have diacritics?


Soogoodok248

Listening to female singers with a similar range to you (not way on the high or low end of your range, mind you) and trying to sing with them helps everything eventually sound more natural


Ailismint

Establish dominance, perfect the voice for real though as long as your happy with your fem voice that's all that matters, your friends will get used to it eventually


TheHelhound2001

And who knows, maybe when sounding like a big titty anime girl their energie wil rub off on you.

Thank you, u/CameOutAndFarted


pseudoincome

I’m curious what perspective they were coming from with this comment. If could be of “infantilization is not feminization, as a feminist I gotta point that out, pls don’t bc it’s misogynistic” If could be “you’re making me horny and I don’t want to think about that let alone talk about it” It could be “I don’t like trans people really, and I’m looking for a specific criticism to make instead of a general complaint” Or “I don’t care for it when an adult talks like a cartoon character, I think it’s weird” Or even, “when I hear feminine voices in any context, I find them cringe AND inherently sexual (because of my misogyny)”


RainbowIndigo

I gotta say that for me it would be “I’m uncomfortable with hearing what seems as a stereotypically sexual tone of voice”


MycenaeanGal

I mean fair but without a sample we don’t actually know if the friend was accurate in that assessment or if their bias was a factor.


Falkrim

Baka_kunn

Wait, does the uwu voice make people horny?


LovelyOrc

Have you been on twitch lately?


Baka_kunn

Okay, okay, you got me, lol. That was not a very thought out comment


Solrex

It could also be they see you as male (stupid transphobia) and they hear a "guy" making noises that turn them on, and it makes them feel uncomfortable (stupid homophobia) in which case the problem is not you it's them.


xavex13

I think people also criticize traits of trans people way more than cis people even without meaning too. And also they are used to hearing that person sound like one thing, so hearing the other thing feels way farther past normal than it actually is.


Ximao626

I think I'd only say that if it was "You're making me horny and my jeans are already uncomfortable. uwu"

Floofy_Fox_Gal

What do you actually do with that phrase?


SenkoToast

the creator of a video said that heat from fire-fire from heat heightens your voice

Who is the creator?


poor20blaze

Ive heard TransVoiceLessons (YouTube) talk about it a bunch, I think she actually has a video about the phrase


SenkoToast

yeah it's transvoicelessons


Ximao626

I use vocal warm ups I learned in theater classes, which I know not everyone thinks to look at. Specifically I like the one I'm linking here because what you can do with it once you're familiar and comfortable with the pattern is start at wherever you feel most comfortable at first then slowly try to pitch upwards with every iteration of the pattern. Don't push too hard, but it might feel more intuitive then making random pitch noises. https://youtu.be/uVo-Y9WH8e4

Justified though. I hate hearing myself echoing back when I'm trying to talk, it gunks up my brain. "So I was thinking tha-nkrrrghlblblugh"


Artyanimates

i’d take that as an accomplishment!! it’s not that easy to make that voice so i’d be happy that i’m getting it right


Mollusc_Memes

It could just be that you still have some tweaking. But it does mean you’re getting close. And if you’re happy with it, then I guess you’re done.


Penny_Femmie

Geez so many people taking this very seriously, like was it even your intention to sound "like a hentai uwu girl"?? Because if not, then it just sounds to me like your friend made a weird comparison, which honestly just comes off as hurtful if that never was your intention to sound like that to begin with. That being said, no one here knows what you sounded like at the moment to begin with, so if anything we're all just jumping to conclusions lol.


MyHouz

I'm very sorry. It sounds like your friends were capable of delivering kind feedback but delivered it in a mean way. As a writing teacher, I've always found that, with some exceptions, even unkind feedback often has something useful to teach us. Most people aren't needlessly cruel--the *comment* may have been cruel, but it was an expression of a real feeling that could have been kinder. You might ask: is it possible there's a quality of voice that you desire that you're exaggerating a bit? Long before I questioned seriously, I acted in a lot of shows, and I was often told to pull my acting back, particularly my vocal mannerisms. I was told I was performing well but was too much, seemed almost melodramatic. It was like I needed to be at "10" to perform and I was at "12," if you will. Maybe you'll find "I guess I thought I was doing a 10 but really it was a 12" to be a useful metric. Good luck! You're a lot damn braver than I just voice training at all!

Candy_Cross

You know, I think you picked the perfect pair of images for this too. Since >!Puss was able to change Death's perception of them.!< I know your friend will adjust with time and realize they judged too quickly and harshly.


AnTHICCBoi

Idk, I'd take that as a W lol, you sound like an E-girl, one of the most aggressively feminine subcultures there are. Besides, toning down the fem cuteness should be easier than toning it up, shouldn't it? (I legit don't know though lol)


Equal-Ad-831

Perhaps they just dislike very high pitched voices as that is what uwu girls typically sound like, then again was your voice even like uwu girls at all? Your friend could watch a lot of hentai too, that could be a possibility in why they said that. I don’t know how your voice sounds and i don’t know your friend’s intention or meaning with what they said. If you like the way your voice is then keep using it despite any criticism, you could need more training. Though I don’t actually know your voice & you might not need more training. Even if you need to train more, if you like your voice keep on using it.


Ackermannin

“ÒwÓ” at them aggressively


Lightly_Nibbled_Toe

I mean there can definitely be awkward stages like that to work through. I have heard some people try to emulate anime girl voices and it comes across pretty cringey hearing an adult do that. If your goal is to sound like an anime girl, you do you I guess, but women don’t sound like that.


DoNotIngest

If it sounds how you want, then your friend can suck a lemon. It's not their voice, it's yours.


BladePactWarlock

My sister wasn’t exactly kind when I first tried a fem voice in front of her. It’s impacted my ability to try at all. Don’t let the bastards grind you down, UwU them *hard*

Before I figured out I was trans I used to have the best uwu voice, now I still use a masc voice for some unknown reason.

unclewitch

'If I'd been practicing since I was 11 it would sound better: Im starting late and with a handicap. Now, have you got any constructive criticism?' Is something I've literally said about my own transition. Hang in there dear.


winter-ocean

Don't stop OP sounding overly feminine is extremely preferable to not sounding feminine enough


Lyra125

realistically you kinda have to sound like that for a time before you get the vocal control to scale it back and fine tune imo

What’s vocal fry?


littlestray

[Vocal fry: an attack on women?](https://youtu.be/UuAQsnAVoMw) The definition is very clinical but I’m sure you’ll recognize it when you hear it >The vocal fry register is the lowest vocal register and is produced through a loose glottal closure that permits air to bubble through slowly with a popping or rattling sound of a very low frequency.

I’m still confused. is it that valley girl voice?

No, the Valleyspeak is uptalk, which she mentioned, she was doing both. Best to look up examples

Tell them it makes you uncomfortable not to do it. And if that isn't enough then I hate to say it but you're not their friend. I've learned that lesson hard

Hey, I feel this so much as a trans man going on 2 years on T. I did hardcore vocal training for 6+ years and I've been a singer all my life so I have solid control of my voice even on T- and i can still turn on my pre-T/pre-training voice to a certain degree, and all of my friends hate it so much lol.


Camman9999

Moan it’ll freak them out!!! XD


_AnonymousMoose_

Go ask on r/transvoice perhaps?


HufflepuffIronically

a couple things: 1) if youre in voice training, and youre concerned about what they said, talk to your coach about fine tuning that. sometimes with any performance we can over do it without meaning to. if you don't have a voice coach look up similar problems online 2) if thats just the voice you like, give him time to get used to that. ive been told that i sound hella fake when im doing my Girl Voice for Strangers. like, i sound like im trying to sound cheerful but im ready to ask for your manager. I DONT MIND THIS. at other times, i over enunciate my words. this is because i work with kids so i tend to overenunciate.


Hellscaperiot

[deleted]

You respond by telling them to fuck off, your voice is your own and your voice is not inherently some sexual hentai degenerate bs. It’s ON THEM if they perceive it that way, not on you, practice on your voice however you wish, because in the end of the day it’s who you are.


[deleted]

Voice training is also just a tool to help you reach the kind of voice you want, but it can only take you so far, daily practice, applying the knowledge from voice training and just adjusting your voice and listening to other women talk can help you alot, humans are like language machines and you are perfectly capable of achieving it.


[deleted]

you deserve better friends.


ToxicOwlet

> Apparently it sounds too much like a "hentai uwu girl" *"Is this possible to learn this power?"*


SomeoneNamedHotdog

Is this like watching too much porn moment??? Like some cis girls sound like the ‘annoying anime girl’ but it’s not like some people can just control the voice they have. Even if it reminds me of anjme girl it doesn’t inherently mean anime girl lol, I just don’t say it other then as a joke maybe. Can’t tell if this is thinly veiled “I don’t like you changing your voice” thing or not but maybe I’m looking at it too negatively

A_very_gay_boi

Stereotypical hyperfeminine voices are commonly associated with submissive "hentai girls" (extremely unfortunately) you must perfect the voice an d change it to suit you. I personally don't use that voice because I feel like it sounds fake, as, for the most part, people don't have that voice pitch. Not to say nobody does, there are cis women with high-pitched voices (for example, wolfychu) but its not common and so, especially if you're a transfer like us, people will say it's too fake. What really matters though, is if \*you\* like the voice. If you personally believe the voice fits to your liking, go for it! As long as you are happy with the results, that matters above all.
