#voice therapy

So this just happened and I think y'all need to hear it:

So I had voice therapy today and the guy was telling me that I was doing great (cause I was expressing when I liked what I was doing with my voice and I suck at that sometimes) and I said," I'm gonna get a good grade in voice! Which is a totally normal thing to want, and 100% possible to achieve!" So he says he thinks I'm really funny and (because I can't take a complement) I say I'm just repackaged Tumblr humor, and he blue screens for a moment before going "that's still around?" And I start explaining that it absolutely is and such, and he is SHOCKED.

Anyway that's how I spent 5 minutes with my voice therapist explaining how this hellsite is still around!

Does anyone have articles for gender affirming voice therapy in America? ( within the last 10 years )

Peer reviewed articles about evidence based practices, for gender affirming voice therapy specifically

[earhartsease]

sometimes science is indistinguishable from magic - four months ago we suddenly lost most of our voice, tried everything to bring it back - finally got to see a lovely speech & language therapist yesterday, who gave us exercises where, and we kid you not, you sing down a plastic tube into a glass of water

It's been literally 24 hours and our voice is already starting to come back

apparently sometimes vocal fold muscles freak out and lose their memory of how to work (can happen after viruses - or vaccinations like the covid booster we had two weeks before this nonsense started) but you can reboot them?

anyway, looks like we might be able to sing again soon, and that's a fucking miracle

edit: the technique (which has a number of variations) is known as semi-occluded vocal tract therapy, or SOVT, and is used to develop singing voices as well as for voice therapy, if anyone's interested in it

[tricky-pockets]

so, I've kinda? heard of gender-affirming voice therapy (is that what it's called?) but I have no idea what that entails or who you'd go to to get it. have any of you done it? none of the doctors I've encountered have ever mentioned it and that seems like a bit of an oversight.

Got a prob with me reading this?

Start reading it for free: https://a.co/8072aQF

Well you can mind your own business if the headline is your problem. I use this book to help me as a form of speech therapy.

What do you expect me to do? I'm rereading the beginning of a Hunger Games novel because I read it to myself -- out loud. myself. It was a fail as I didn't down the story while doing so.

BTW the blubbering voice I have sometimes is from multiple sclerosis. Imagine trying to leave a voicemail at their office that sounds like a baby trying to talk.

Please learn from my mistakes.

The Role of Intonation in Feminine Speech Patterns

Adjusting resonance for a feminine tone is a critical aspect of voice feminization training for MTF individuals. Resonance refers to where the voice vibrates in your body, which greatly affects the perceived gender of your voice. for further information read the blog which explains How To Voice Train MTF?

what is with men being mad any time a woman raises her voice where did that even come from. someone posted a video of a small electrical explosion, and the top comment was of course the woman screams. the second comment is women try not to scream challenge, level impossible. i had to go back and watch the video again. there is, somewhat fainty, a little gasp emitted off-camera, more of a yelp than a scream. it is mostly lost in the crack of the explosion. afterwards, you hear her voice, shaken, say, are you okay?

i am helping one of my friends train her voice pitch lower, because she wants to be taken seriously at work. she and i do each other's nails and talk about gender roles; and how - due to our appearance - neither of us have ever been able to be "hysterical" in public. we both appear young and sweet and feminine. she is cisgender, and cannot use her natural voice in her profession because people keep saying she appears to be "vapid". we both try to figure out if our purposeful voice lowering is technically sexist. is it promoting something when you are a victim to it?

a storm almost sends a pole through a car window. in the dashcam, you can hear the woman passenger say her partner's name twice, crying out in alarm. she sounds terrified. in the comments, she is lambasted for her lack of calm. how is that even fucking helping?

in high school, i taught myself to have a lower voice. i had been recorded when i was genuinely (and righteously) upset; and i hated how my voice sounded on the phone speakers when it was played back. i was defending my mom, and my voice cracked with emotion. it meant i was no longer winning the argument: i was just shrieking about it.

girls meet each other after a long summer and let out a little joyful scream. this usually stops around 12-14, because people will not tolerate this display of affection (as it has the effect of being passingly annoying). something about the fact that little girls can't ever even be annoying. we are trained to examine each part of our lives (even joy) for anything that could make us upsetting and disgusting. they act like teenage girls are breaking into houses and shrieking you awake at 3 in the morning. speaking as a public school educator: trust me, it's not that bad, you can just roll your eyes and move on. it does not compare to the ways boys end up being annoying: slurs in graffiti, purposefully mocking your body, following you after you said no. you know, just boy things.

there's another video of a man who is not allowed to yell in the house, so he snaps his fingers when he's excited about soccer. the comments are full of angry men, talking about how their brother is unfairly caged. let him express himself and this is terrible to do to someone. eventually the couple has to address it in a second video: they are married with a newborn baby. he was trying not to wake the infant up. there is no comment on the fact women are not allowed to yell indoors. or the fact that it could have been really alarming or triggering for his wife. sometimes i wonder if straight men even like women, if they even enjoy being in relationships with them.

for the longest time, i hated roller coasters because it always felt inappropriate and uncomfortable for me to scream. one of my friends called me on it, said it was unusual i'm so unwilling. i had to go to my therapist about it. i don't like to scream because i was not raised in a safe situation, and raising my voice would have brought unsafe attention towards me. even when i am supposed to scream, it feels shameful, guilty. i was not treated kindly, so i lack a basic form of self-protection. this is not a natural response. it is not good that in a situation of high adrenaline - i shut up about it.

something very bad is happening, i think. in between all the beauty standards and the stuff i've already discussed - this one feels new and cruel in a way i can't quite express. yes, it's scary and silencing. but there's something about how direct it is - that so many men agree with the sentiment that women should never yell, even in an emergency - it feels different.

is the word shriek gendered automatically? how about shrill or screech? in self defense class, one of the first things they tell you is to yell, as loud and as shrilly as you can. they say it will feel rude. most women will not do this. you need to practice overcoming the social pressure and just scream.

most women do not cry out, even when it's bad. we do not report it. we walk faster. we do not make a scene. what would be the point of doing anything else? no matter what we do, we don't get taken seriously. it is a joke to them. an instagram caption punchline. we have to present ourselves as silent, beautiful, captivating - "valuable."

a woman is outside watching her kids when someone throws a firecracker at them. she screams and runs towards her children. in the comments, grown men flock together in the thousands: god. women are so annoying.

Fizz's voice is a bit higher-pitched compared to the typical "Sans voice". Heat from fire, and all that.

Decided to potentially wreck my shit by recording my voice while frantically searching for my medication because I accidentally recorded myself in the first clip and thought, “is my voice…? Could it be? Dare I say it? Is it… Deeper?” And it is! Still gots a ways to go but stoked I don’t sound like a squeaky toy anymore. I even sound deeper than usual in my jokey ha ha voice (when I say gotteeeem - always had a problem with my voice sky rocketing with elongated e’s). Super cool. My voice is still dysphoria inducing but not as bad as it once was.

For those that don’t know, I spent about five years not talking almost at all and was dysphoric about my voice not matching my internal voice - so I was given insurance covered speech and voice therapy and did that for a few months. I was given the tools to practice on my own and took a few months off because December kicked me so far into despair that I shut down - but I’m back on my bullshit, baby!
