Transsexual Voice
Transsexual Voice For The Tone Deaf is a website where members of the male-to-female transgendered community can provide constructive criticism on their “female” voice. It takes some practice to master a convincing female voice so big ups to them. The archive page features voice samples as well the techniques used. There’s also some really interesting articles on vocal physiology. Interestingly, on their tips page they suggest singing as practice. One of the bands they suggest is Rush. Now I know that Geddy Lee has a high voice but I never thought it would be used as an example for the male-to-female transgendered community.
I’m such a good sport that I decided to give it a shot myself. Below are two samples featuring my regular voice and my “female” voice. By the sounds of things I’d make a shitty transsexual so thank goodness it’s not my bag.
