A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

To make such a request, at the start of the body of your post, not in the title, the first line should look like the this: [Requesting Engagement from _________]

Officially Coming out to Lemmy, And Looking to Make a Community for Help with Trans Voices (files.catbox.moe)

Hi! This is an older pic of me. I think it was from around 2013 with a bad cell camera and a silly makeup app. Weirdly, it is still the best one I've got of myself even after having fully transitioned shortly after the pic was taken. Anyway, my biggest dysphoria is with my voice. I've spent over a decade on make it "pass". I'd like to know if there is interest in making a community for voice help (there are similar on Reddit).

This has been my biggest hurdle, and if I could feasibly help others, or other people could help each other that would be fantastic. Simple voice recordings uploaded to free sites with feedback are, in my opinion, very valuable as you need to be able to interact with people on a daily basis and looks alone will not get you there.

In short, I'd just like to know if there is interest for a community where we can help each other not be "outed" for simply trying to speak.

I would love help learning to voice train.

I’m glad to have you here!

I think making a community for trans voice help is a fantastic idea. If such a community is made I would definitely link to it in the sidebar.

Why not make something like "TransFemVoice@lemmy.blahaj.zone"?

[–] lupec@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've been voice training solo for a while and am always on the lookout for more resources, anecdotes and info in general so I'd definitely be up for it!

The perfect tool for us on android

(I don't have ads in it with grapheneOS etc)

I recommend just using a spectrum analyzer like Spectroid. I've never used the one you recommend, but it doesn't seem to have a spectral view, and just looking at your pitch is not going to help feminize the voice.

What I did is watch the TransVoiceLessons videos, learned to recognized pitch, R1 and R2 in the spectrum, and then just figured out how to use my voice to change those, visualizing them (it's a long process, takes months).

It does have a spectrum view.

Edit: I just checked out Spectroid and the spectral view in that app seems to be better though.

[–] TGhost@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks for that advice, 😊😊

[–] lupec@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

Yup, that's a great one! No ads with adguard's private DNS either.

Here's one without trackers that work in a browser https://ftvt.fiona.onl/

I helped a bit making the recording part 🤓

[–] TGhost@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

In my favs now :D

[–] Juno@beehaw.org 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Any good discords for this ?

[–] TGhost@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh sorry no, My main dysphoria isn't my voice for now so.. 😅,

But if you are French I got one to advise,

If I do the exercise, I would participate here instead of discord I guess, but when Lemmy will got private community, as a feature, if it got it.

I will not participate actively but definitely I would subscribe to the sub, to lurk on it. If its created.

[–] Juno@beehaw.org 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well if you change your mind, I'd be happy to help hun

[–] TGhost@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

Hey hey thannnks 😊😊 We will see each others on the sub I guess when created ^^

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 months ago

You're more than welcome to create a community on blahaj.zone if you like. You'd need an account here, but you can create it, create the community, mod your main account, and do all of the maintenance/management from your main account

Of, you could set it up on your current instance, and let people know about it.

Whatever you do, I think it's a good idea to get a voice training community up and running!

I never even considered that there could be voice dysphoria. Of course there is. I wonder, would singing practice help ? I know it widened my range and generally made me more nimble, more flexible with my tone(s). This is coming from a place of complete naiveté, not being transgender,... well in any case I hope you get rid of that dysphoria one way or another
