The Ultimate Guide to Voice Feminisation

Apart from crossdressing in appearance, there is an important part in crossdressing which is voice, the best conveyed directly, as sound, and so text isn't really the best medium for this at all, but a common way to categorise different ways a voice can sound, or in other words different "qualities" of the voice, is with "weight", with a voice sounding heavier or lighter, and "size", with a voice sounding larger or smaller.

Weight refers to the perceived sound of intensity, or "shoutiness", or effort in the voice. Size refers to how "squeaky" or "deep" the voice sounds. Voices that are light and small tend to be perceived as feminine, and voices that are heavy and large tend to be perceived as masculine. Meanwhile heavy and small voices are like SpongeBob Squarepants, for example, and light and large voices are like Patrick Star.

This is just one way to describe the difference that different voices can have between each other though, and the best way to learn how to feminise one's voice is to just listen carefully to different voices, including yours, and learn to pick up on different qualities of a voice. And to try and imitate and impersonate all sorts of voices, comparing between yours and the other voice often, without judgement. both what you find different between any two voices, and what you find similar.

Even just doing different sorts of voices or different sorts of sounds that seem completely unrelated to the goal of achieving a feminine sounding voice can help with it. Exposing yourself to different vocalisations and giving yourself some experience of doing them can help you recreate this vocalisation again later, and to pick up on this sort of sound when you hear it elsewhere. Among other things it can also help you figure out different ways of altering your voice that could help you a lot in order to feminise it; ones that you might have never thought of before.

Voice feminisation isn't much different to learning to sing, or do impressions of other people, or perform voices for animation or puppets. And when you were growing up you most likely didn't learn how to speak by watching or reading some speaking tutorials or something; you just mimicked your parents, siblings and other people you heard around you. So doing is really the best way to learn. Immerse yourself in voices, listen to them, try to break them apart, practice.

There are plenty of videos and reading material that expand on this stuff, but I particularly recommend the YouTube channels TransVoiceLessons and Nicole Gress. I have also put together this list of voice feminisation and masculinisation resources several years ago, and still regularly update parts of it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d_fVzgA93pLOw767n6Zi3eJW0FpDn7MR31RT0bnIt8w/
