Heya! Sorry if this gets asked a lot or never lol. I’m NB (gender neutral and kinda xenogender?) and hoping to train for a more androgynous sort of voice. My natural voice is more bassy and raspy. Do any of y’all have experience with this?

Are there any good like … Phone apps or programs that are good to practice with? Like my dream would be something I could talk into that would analyze pitch and tone and would give suggestions. I don’t know if something like that exists but I’m open to anything right now

I love my trans comrades!

    Theres an app on fdroid called audio spectrum analyzer. I have used it for a littoe voice training but i fell off. It wont tell you explicitly tone and pitch and all that, but 2d mode i found helpful for training and differentiating between pitch and resonance. You will have to interpret what youre looking at tho, it wont do any of thay for you and just gives the raw output from the mic.

      On desktop, the melda productions free suite includes a similar plugin that can operate inside a DAW (there’s free ones out there) and can analyze the mic input.

        I hadn’t thought of just using my DAW but that’s a great idea. I could even just play around with pitch shifter plugins on recordings of myself and try practicing that way

          Mind you, pitch shifting will give you a target frequency to aim for, but the resonances/overtones won’t (relatively) change by pitch shifting. So you might still need additional training for that.
