Let’s face it – achieving a passable feminine voice isn’t easy.

But it’s a critical part of your overall image.

Even if you rarely go out in public as a woman, there’s bound to come a time when you have to open your mouth and speak to someone.

Don’t you want to be the whole pretty package? Having a voice that’s congruent with your image is a big part of that.

The first step towards achieving a feminine voice is avoiding these 5 common mistakes:

1. Speaking too deeply

No surprise here, but if your voice is too deep you’re going to be read as male.

How do you know if your voice is too deep? Your best bet is to use a frequency tuner to measure the pitch of your voice:

• Male voices typically range from 100-150 Hz
• Female voices typically range from 175-250 Hz

Here are some free frequency tuner apps you can use on your phone:

• Pano Tuner (for iPhone/iPad)
• DaTunerLite (for Android)

2. Speaking in falsetto

Trying to mask a deep voice by speaking in an unnaturally high voice – otherwise known as falsetto – isn’t good, either.

Speaking this way doesn’t make you sound like a woman – it makes you sound like Minnie Mouse.

While you do want to raise the pitch of your voice, you never want to go too high.

3. Whispering

If you are self conscious about your voice, then you might try to compensate by speaking more softly.

However, lowering the volume of your voice doesn’t make you sound more feminine – it just makes it impossible to hear you.

4. Upswinging your sentences

Women naturally have more “melodic intonation” to their voices. In other words, they are more animated when they speak.

Some crossdressers and transgender women make the mistake of trying to imitate this by “upswinging” their voices at the end of every sentence.

“Upswinging” can make each sentence sound like a question. All this does is make you sound like a stereotypical Valley Girl – probably not the type of woman you want to emulate.

5. Pinching your voice

One of the reasons that men have deeper, richer voices than women is because they have a larger “throat space.”

If you try to compensate for your deeper voice by constricting your throat, the result will sound pinched. Think Pee Wee Herman or Kermit the Frog – again, not who you want to emulate!

Avoiding these mistakes is the first step towards achieving a passable feminine voice

It’s easy to go wrong in your attempts to feminize your voice.

The good news is that you CAN achieve a passable feminine if you use the right techniques.

Transgender Voice Lesson 1

Being transgender is hard, and the thing that I’ve been the most self-conscious about is my voice, but with voice lessons it’s gotten much better. So I’ve decided…

One of the biggest mistakes many crossdressers and TG women make is dressing too sexy.

This often looks ridiculous – ESPECIALLY as you get older.

Does that mean you need to turn down your sex appeal after a certain age?

Absolutely not, girlfriend!

All you need to do is follow these 3 simple rules for dressing sexy at any age:

Rule #1: Show some skin (just not too much)

Short skirts and low cut tops are undeniably sexy, but you shouldn’t go too far with this. Here are a couple guidelines to keep in mind:

• Your skirt should be no shorter than fingertip length when you stand with your arms to your sides.
• Your top should show no more than 40% of your bust.

At the same time, you shouldn’t be TOO covered up since that just screams “old lady”. Show off your feminine assets, but do so in a tasteful and classy way.

Rule #2: Find the right proportions

Proportion refers to the way your clothes work together in length, width, size and volume.

For example:

• A short skirt paired with a short top looks slutty.
• A long skirt paired with a long top looks dowdy.
• A full skirt paired with a full top makes you look heavy.
• A tight skirt paired with a tight top makes you look like a sausage (unless you have a body like Giselle Bundchen!).

You should never go too far in any one direction. That means if you wear something tight or skimpy, the rest of your outfit should balance things out.

For example:

• A short skirt should be paired with a more covered top.
• A skimpy top should be paired with a more covered bottom.
• A tight skirt should be paired with a fuller top.
• A tight top should be paired with a fuller skirt.

Rule #3: Wear luxurious fabrics

The final piece of the sexy puzzle is the fabrics you wear.

Think slutty and what comes to mind? A spandex skirt, barely there glittery top, and patent leather stripper boots, right?

Sexy, on the other hand, is associated with luxurious fabrics like silk, velvet, lace, and cashmere.

When shopping for clothes, look for fabrics that are rich and sensuous – rather than cheap and tacky.

Final thoughts …

The bottom line is that you are NEVER too old to be your sexy femme self. Just be sure to keep it classy.

As always, I’ve love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Please leave me your comments below!

And if you’re already mastered the art of sexy ageless dressing, don’t forget to include a photo.
