Your voice is an important part of your feminine image.
Even if you rarely go out in public as a woman, there’s bound to come a time when you’ll need to open your mouth and speak to someone.
You want to be the whole pretty package, right? Having a voice that’s congruent with your image is a big part of that.
The first step towards achieving a passable feminine voice is to avoid these 5 common mistakes:
1. Speaking too deeply
No surprise here, but if your voice is too deep you’re going to be read as male.
How do you know if your voice is too deep? Your best bet is to use a frequency tuner to measure the pitch of your voice:
- Male voices typically range from 100-150 Hz
- Female voices typically range from 175-250 Hz
Here are a couple free frequency tuner apps you can use on your phone to start measuring your voice:
2. Speaking in falsetto
Trying to mask a deep voice by speaking in an unnaturally high voice – otherwise known as falsetto – isn’t good, either.
Speaking this way doesn’t make you sound like a woman – it makes you sound like Minnie Mouse.
While you do want to raise the pitch of your voice, you never want to go too high. Again, a frequency tuner can help you find your correct range.
3. Whispering
If you are self conscious about your voice, then you might try to compensate by speaking more softly.
However, lowering the volume of your voice doesn’t make you sound more feminine – it just makes it impossible to hear you.
4. Upswinging your sentences
Women naturally have more “melodic intonation” to their voices. In other words, they are more animated when they speak.
Some crossdressers and transgender women make the mistake of trying to imitate this by “upswinging” their voices at the end of every sentence.
“Upswinging” can make each sentence sound like a question. All this does is make you sound like a stereotypical Valley Girl – probably not the type of woman you want to emulate.
5. Pinching your voice
One of the reasons that men have deeper, richer voices than women is because they have a larger “throat space.”
If you try to compensate for your deeper voice by constricting your throat, the result will sound pinched. Think Pee Wee Herman or Kermit the Frog – again, not who you want to emulate!
Avoiding these mistakes is the first step towards achieving a passable feminine voice
It’s easy to go wrong in your attempts to feminize your voice.
The good news is that you CAN achieve a passable feminine if you use the right techniques.
I’ll be talking more about voice feminization in future posts. Before I do that, I’d love to understand how important this issue is for you.

Voice training has been really fun way to express my femmeness. Difficult to master but you can train anywhere especially driving car in highway and when you get it right it sure imbues you with right mood. Absolutely priceless and surprising how much you can do with persistent training (over year for me already).
Lot of thanks for excellent voice training mp3:s from this site. Do recommend them warmly. Fun and very professional material with nice encouraging attitude.

Hi, would it be impolite to ask what kind of estrogen polls. I would love to have nice breasts. I do have large nipples by rolling and pulling on them with home made nipple clamps.
