Female Voice

I have thought for some time now that my female voice was decent and will take voice lessons in the spring. Well today I was surfing through some videos online for after GRS thoughts and decided to click on one that was about male to female voice exercises. The person said to get Pitch Lab and work on keeping your voice between B flat and C sharp. I looked at the app, it’s free so I downloaded it. Afterwards upon opening it up there are a ton on in-app purchases but no need, the part I needed is free. So I try it out, I pretty much nailed the acceptable range woohoo. Even though I nailed it I know there is still work to be done but happy to know I am on the right track. Back in 2008 when meeting with a doctor for hormones (did not start then until last November even though she approved me) she indicated that my voice did not need much work and should be easy to have a very good female voice with practice. I think the main obstacle is the need to change back and forth but not after my surgery.

We all know you can look female but when our mouth opens and the female voice is not there all is lost. Don’t know about anyone else but IMHO you need to work on it. There are times I will warm up by saying meow, each time raising my voice to what I think is acceptable. I learned this from a u tube video.

Karen, congratulations on pretty much having your voice ready. I agree that it's so important, and have thought I might someday go see a coach. I am downloading Pitch Lab and was surprised to see it's mainly a guitar tuner. By any chance do you have a link to the video that recommended it?

Yes it is a guitar tuner but as in

note the woman has no clue about the real purpose of the app. I am a musician and have many tuners which all attach to the head stock of the guitar which works off vibrations. My guess is the woman found out via some other source.

Hi Karen,

Yep, I'll check out the video, thanks. I play guitar as well, fingerstyle on an acoustic, as I like to be able to play a song by myself without a band or an amp. Thank goodness for these piezo tuners! Back in the day when I played blues on an electric I had a heck of a time tuning. :-)

My thing when younger was playing in a band along with recording original music in a home studio. I pretty much gave it up for a few decades but kept the guitars and about two years ago started back up again with a completely new studio trading in things like reel to reel for digital recorder. I use to tune by ear but thru the years I now use a snark tuner.
