Voice Training Stuff
Nov. 8th, 2023 02:07 pmI just did my voice training for the day and my throat is really feeling it!
I get really self-conscious about doing this with people around: even Miriam. She often naps during the day so I tend to do it then. Today, she's out at the chronic pain center, so it was another good time. I do want to keep doing this while her parents are visiting, but I don't really know if I'll be able to, even in the spare room with the door closed or something.
In case people are interested or find it helpful:
I've started going through a series of voice training videos by a YouTuber named Bria. The Trans Voice Lessons channel seems to be a lot better known, but I have found Bria's videos to be a lot more direct and approachable. I was overwhelmed by TVL, but I'm really encouraged by Bria. There are a bunch of videos in the series, which were originally a livestream done weekly.
So I'm more-or-less going through the same video every day for a week, and then moving on the next one. I just watched the second one for the first time today and I feel even better about things.
Coincidentally, Bria is also the author of a book I bought - before I was fully certain I was trans - about transitioning called "First Year Out: a Transition Story", though I didn't know that until following the links back to more info about her after watching the first video a few times.
Here's the first one!
