The Single MOST Powerful Element of Voice Feminization: The Gender Dial ( R1), Exercises Lecture

for lesson inquiries: This video explains the most important element of voice feminization and why it is so important. In the video there are 4 primary exercises from my vault to help you learn control over this resonance. Every container around you, produces a tone when tapped. This is called a natural frequency. Your throat (pharynx) has it s own natural frequency based on how large it is. We call this frequency, R1. It strongly determines the sex perception of an individuals voice. When exposed to testosterone, the vocal tract expands, causing this natural frequency to shift lower. By learning control the shape and size of the vocal tract, we can control R1, thereby giving us the ability to reverse the primary effect hormones had on the vocal tract. While there are other resonances and other elements responsible for voice feminization, by far the most significant and important difference is R1.
