Outdated Resources #
⚠ These resources are from roughly 2019 or older and/or don't appear to be actively maintained. However, I feel like it is still important to acknowledge the history of the trans voice community, and they can still be useful. Please be aware of this warning when viewing these resources, as they may promote practices that are no longer commonly used (e.g. The Swallowing Method), or use vague terms (e.g. Head/Chest Voice)
- Unthink's guide (seems to be unfinished)
- Transfeminine Voice Guide - Ama
- L's Voice Training Guide for MtF
- FAQ from the TransVoice discord server

Software #
Real time voice analysis, with pitch and formant tracking
These applications are designed for voice training. Please see this TransVoiceLessons video for information on how to read formants/resonances from these softwares.
-
InFormant: Downloadable app for real-time pitch and formant tracking
- Note: an explainer video
- Spectrus: Web app for real-time pitch and formant tracking
Voice analysis (other)
Some of these are not designed for trans voice training, or focus entirely on pitch. I personally believe focusing on pitch only is harmful.
- Friture
- Audacity
- Spectroid audio analyser for android
- Voice Tools for voice therapy
- Voice Analyst for pitch tracking and recording
- Web app for pitch monitoring

Why run this site?
I believe that while Discord is a good place for communities, it is a horrible place to retain and seek information. Discord is not a wiki, and it is not a good way to store information. The current trans voice community is quite fractured, and resources are not uniform between communities. This site seeks to be a neutral source of resources for the wider community, and for people who are not yet in the community but are seeking information about trans voice training.
