    The pitch is nice but it sounds like someone is doing a voice rather than a natural voice.

    This playlist might help you, iirc it also covers the mistake you’re making https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVBTgX4F61IfiDkeZ-B9i1tlfNLMdYCui

    The best is to go to a speech therapist. I’ve also heard it rumoured that you can hurt yourself if you do it on your own. Luckily where I’m from it’s covered and I’d rather wait a year than take any risks, beyond it just slowly going up unconsciously. I just think suddenly trying to change your voice without incremental steps might be unsafe.

      relieved sounds ahh, it’s not just me then! I was worried it’s actually fine and I just hate the sound of my own voice. Thanks for the playlist, I haven’t seen that series before. I use this voice all the time anyway, so it’s not uncomfortable.

        Well a lot of trans people have a bit of an unnatural quality to their voice, but it isn’t really a problem I’d say. But with yours it honestly is quite strong and so I’d say focus on recognizing what it is and then seeing if you can practice getting that out. Iirc she covers that in one of the first videos. There’s various things you can do wrong, like falsetto, cartoon etc
