Patron Workshop 1A: Pitch Struggles and How to Fix Pitch

Hi everyone! Last month we had an amazing patron workshop! So many awesome things happened and I can't wait to share them all. I had an issue with the sound however and the program recording the audio stripped some parts of the files. I have managed to recover almost all of what is missing though so I will start to release them 1 by 1.

In this first audio, I help a student deal with her pitch issues and we lay out several executable exercises and tasks to help someone address pitch! View Post

TransVoiceTech: How to Hear Yourself Better!

Hi Everyone! In this video I will document a simple strategy for hearing a more accurate representation of your voice. Have you ever noticed how there is a discrepancy between the way your voice sounds on recording vs to yourself?   

Well, both of them are inaccurate. The sound you while talking is actually the result of internal vibrations propagating through the jawbone, cheekbones, and inner sinus cavities. The voice you hear is actually a muffled, filtered version of the "...

Voice Feminization from the Inside! [Laryngoscope footage]

Recently I had a vocal examination via laryngoscope. During the exam, I managed to get a bit of voice feminization technique on camera. As far as I know, this is the first published footage of voice feminization via laryngoscope. There is a lot more footage to collect and hopefully someday I won't be pressed for time so I can exhaustively test things with a camera inside me but this is good for now!  

There are a few key things to look for: 

1. The velum and how it opens...

What the Mouth Should Look Like During Feminization (vid)

I 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 th...

Android Queen Overlord Photoshoot! 9/2/19

A dear friend of mine and I collaborated on some photography stuff! I'm sure more photos will come out from the sets that we did but these are looking pretty sick! I figured I'd post them here since it's more content related to what's going on in my life!

We call this set, "Android Queen Overlord ". This is the first I've been really photographed post-ffs. I still have a bit of healing to do but I love how these turned out!

I wish I had brought a hairbrush though. Lol!

Piano Improvisation: Exhaled (10 minutes)

Here is an epic take from an improvisation session the other evening. I really felt I was reaching many new places. This is one cut, one take. I'm sure there are some errors in it. When playing that evening I felt I explored so many new concepts and musical ideas I've never considered before. This is essentially a recording which is a look at my live musical invention and philosophizing.

There is some weird and kooky stuff in here. I felt like I was doing a significantly better job th...
