Hi all,

I recently signed up for a wait list for voice training, and while I’m looking forward to it, I’m also admittedly dreading it. I’m looking forward to my voice being more feminine, but my biggest worry is my voice not passing, or being clocked as trans due to having a new voice that hasn’t yet been fully developed.

I know things are going to be a process, and inevitably I’m going to have to deal with that weird stage with my voice until I get it to where I want it to be, but something I’ve been having trouble with is finding voices that truly pass.

I’m willing to put in the effort to have the voice I wish to have, but having that assurance that I can pass with it with enough effort would really boost my hopes and confidence.

Which trans voices out there are ones that pass really well? Which ones would a person never have a second thought if they heard it for the first time?

Thanks in advance.

    There’s a youtuber named Sofia Love who made makeup tutorials years ago and I love her voice. She hasn’t put out a video in years though. The girls from the Doll Deranged podcast are also a good example of how trans voices don’t need to be hyper feminized to still be feminine and passing and beautiful.

    My breakthrough came when I stopped overanalyzing every little mannerism and getting overwhelmed at the thought of needing to relearn how to pronounce every word in my vocabulary. Until that point, I had thought that I needed to learn how to act feminine and that induced a lot of imposter syndrome. I then realized that the only acting I was doing was pre-transition when I presenting masculine because I am just a naturally feminine person. Once I realized that, I kind of just let myself express how I naturally would and its mostly all fallen into place. Hopefully that makes sense. Its 3 am and I can’t sleep.
