Start by imitating the breathing of a big dog.

Slowly shift to imitating the breathing of a little dog.

Notice the what your mouth and throat are doing differently for each.

Masculine is the big dog / low resonance.

Feminine is the little dog / high resonance.

Resonance matters as much as pitch - maybe more than pitch - in terms of gender-affirming your voice.

Big Dog Breathing —> Little Dog Breathing.

It’s cringe to do, but fuck it.

It reminds you of those copy-pastas that make you pantomime a blow job or something, but it’s not that, I promise.

Just try it.

Big dog.

Small dog.

Resonance.

I’ll keep talking about this until somebody tells me I shouldn’t.

Try it.

Do it.

    I’ve been doing this and I have made progress! It works, voice training sucks, like 80% of my struggle with it at the start was the cringe and then the next 80% of my struggle was using my femme-est voice I had out in public. I feel like I have such a long way to go, but when I’ve tracked my voice over the last year even though I still don’t like it - it is more femme and that’s undeniable by the comparison.
