You already have what it takes to change the gender of your voice. It’s a little thing called resonance, and you’re already using it every time you speak.
In this video, trans voice teacher Renée Yoxon (they/them) introduces one of the most powerful and accessible tools in gender-affirming trans voice training: resonance. Whether you want to feminize, masculinize, or explore a nonbinary voice, this beginner-friendly video will show you exactly how to shift your resonance to align your voice with your gender identity—safely and without surgery or hormones.
You’ll learn:
What resonance is and how it naturally affects the gender perception of your voice
How to use vowel sounds to explore different vocal placements
Why “ee-ification” and “oh-ification” are powerful tools in voice feminization and masculinization
How to build confidence by tapping into voice techniques you already use every day!
This video is a perfect intro video for trans women (mtf), trans men (ftm), nonbinary people, and anyone beginning their trans voice journey. If you’ve ever thought, “Can I really change the gender of my voice?”—the answer is yes, and it starts with understanding the tools you already have.
No experience required. All exercises can be done from home and are designed to reduce dysphoria, build vocal confidence, and help you feel more at home in your voice.
