How can I develop a female voice?
Everybody thinks the biggest problem is a mechanical one. I think it’s more a psychological problem. I wrote the following a couple years ago: Hi all, I thought it was about time that someone brought up the subject of psychological barriers to obtaining a female voice. People have already beat to death the mechanics of voice, but rarely discuss the mental aspects. I think these mental barriers are mainly responsible for people giving up on their voice. Some may be asking why I placed this thread here and not on the open board. Because I didn’t want some anonymous posters derailing the thread and besides anyone who’s serious about developing a female voice will have joined the forum already. The first barrier occurs at the beginning: To try or not to try. Due to fear, pride or other reason some people never even make an effort at all. Next up is “What if someone hears me?”. Everyone has time alone to work on voice. Talk to yourself in the shower or in the car coming to and from work. Ne
