Three months on and I’ve definitely improved since last time. This was the best of several takes, and although I was trying a bit harder than usual it’s not too far from my usual zero-effort voice. I just need to remember to keep the resonance tight and stay bright.

I’d give this a C- “almost satisfactory”, so let it rip!

    Holy shit, voice goals right here! You sound 100% female to me–maybe someone in her 30s or so?

    I try to listen to myself as I speak at work, so it’s definitely a gradual process of tweaking things here and there. Thanks for the feedback!

      that’s surreal to me that you hear a female voice - and hey, that’s not a roast!

      One problem I’ve run into is that I can analyze someone else’s voice pretty well, but my dysphoria brain worms distort my perception of my own voice - it’s hard for me to hear it accurately or know how it sounds to other people, the same as it is hard for me to see a woman in the mirror or know what others are seeing.

      It makes it hard to get a sense of when I’m overshooting or overcompensating, or when I’m not compensating enough - that finesse is difficult when your perception is constantly distorted.
