I think you look super cute!

I’ll have to look into Vinted haha.

Girl, you’re beautiful. Just remember that we are our own worst critic. Try to ignore the bad thoughts and ask for feedback from friends and stuff. hugs

Hai Cily!

You may not see me often. I’m a bit of a lurker haha. But I’m around ;-). I’m 40 and I’ve been on HRT since Nov 2022. And I’ve been doing great lately!

Hopefully things are going well for you too! hugs

One quick voice training trick/tip to get you started.

Simply take your tongue, and if able, place it on the roof of your mouth. Far enough to feel your muscles in the back of your neck tense up but also be careful to not choke yourself or anything. These are the muscles you need to keep tense. Now that you can feel which ones to target, simply drop your tongue back to a normal position while also keeping those neck muscles tense and then attempt to speak normally.

If done correctly, you’ll find that you’ll talk softer. This trick demonstrates an example of resonance. It can be quick to pickup and use, but difficult to sustain. But that’s where practice comes in. ;-)

Also don’t forget to drink water. It helps a lot during practice.

Here, also, is my favorite voice training video that covers this trick in the “positioning” section: https://youtu.be/4AesESPasZw?is=KRJ1UpbHlQzAnj8m

I wish I could talk like that. Your voice sounds amazing. <3

I also have a neat voice trick that practices resonance for anyone interested.

A friend of mine on VRChat picked it out for me and it just sort of “stuck”. They wanted to call me a nice girly name instead of my vrchat username (which is different from my lemmy account name). So they started calling me “Allie”.

So now I go by “Allie” lol. It’s very close to Alex as well. But I have been debating on changing it legally to Allison and then using “Allie” as a nickname.
