    It sucks so much that voice training progress is better measured in like years than in months or whatever but it is nice that it’s the ONE THING that you don’t need to be lucky with genetics or spending a lot of money in transitioning - pure effort and discipline.

      Apparently my voice passes and I only seriously trained for 3 months. It just takes commitment to never use your dead voice again and always correct.

          The upside is that with enough training, you can still produce almost the entire feminine vocal range. It’s a lot easier to get a hyperfeminine voice with thickened vocal chords than to get a hypermasculine voice without them., especially due to how resonace works. It’s not that hard to get your larynx all the way up, but when you want to expand the resonating space in your throat without having gone through a testosterone puberty, there’s just clear physical limits you run into.

          Tbh I’m not so certain of that anymore. I’m physically incapable of dropping my voice after 10+ years hrt, maybe disuse of the lower rung of the chords thins it out over a long time

          Used to be a low baritone

      Tbh did my voice training in like 3 months of practicing every day. I recommend milk (or a substitute )and beer to loosen things up

      I started pretty low. Remember it’s still a muscle, treat it like weight training , have protein after, maybe caffeine before. Make sure you do the same exercise (e.g. say the same words)

      I probably still should do a little more as a touch up but I pass so it’s hard to get motivation for it
