What the Mouth Should Look Like During Feminization (vid)
Added 2019-12-17 19:15:33 +0000 UTCI forgot to share this here last week!
Hi everyone! In this video I demonstrate what you should expect to see when looking in the mouth during voice feminization. Hopefully this will help many individuals out there who are visual and kinesthetic learners rather than aural and verbal which most feminization content is geared towards.
I am demonstrating the primary mechanics which elevate and raise your first resonance (R1). R1 is crucial to determining and expressing the sex of a voice. The male throat is significantly larger meaning it produces a lower R1. The female throat is smaller which produces a higher R1. In these techniques, the goal is to reduce the space in the throat and rear oral chamber.
Key things to look for: 1) oropharyngeal closure, where the sides of the throat close inwards. 2) tongue alteration, where the root retracts, the middle-rear elevates, and the jaw slightly closes. Warning: this video is slightly weird and shows up close video of the inside of my mouth.
