Trans Voice Coach

Ten minutes a day, most days.

That's how voices change: small amounts, often, over months. Trans Voice Coach is a voice training app for trans women and transfeminine people: ten minutes of guided practice a day. It's private, and it all stays on your phone.

  1. 0:30 Read the passage The same short passage every day. It's how the app can tell, weeks later, what has moved.
  2. 1:30 Warm up Gentle, guided and unscored. Just follow along.
  3. 5:00 One exercise One thing at a time, with what to listen for and what to try when it isn't working.
  4. 2:00 Talk about something ordinary A prompt like "what did you have for lunch?" to carry it into real speech.
  5. 1:00 Cool down Let your voice settle, and see what moved today.

It starts with resonance, not pitch.

How bright or dark your voice sounds matters more to how it's heard than how high it is. Chasing pitch on your own is also how people strain their voices. So the course opens on resonance, and pitch comes third.

A new exercise arrives every couple of practised days. Every stage is introduced before it starts, and the whole library is readable from day one.

And when you've done your ten minutes, there's Fish Baby.

A small, cat-eared fish you steer with your voice. Hold a steady note to swim her through the gaps, from a sunny reef down through a shipwreck, polar water and the deep. It's practice that doesn't feel like practice.

Eight zones, three hearts, 35 creatures to spot for her journal, and hats to dress her in. No score, ever.

See how far you've come, not how far there is to go.

Voice change is slow enough to be invisible day to day. Progress compares your pitch from your first week of readings with your latest, and keeps a calendar of the days you showed up.

If you choose, it keeps a recording of your first reading, so one day you can play it beside a new one. It never plays your voice unless you tap.

Your voice is yours. It stays on your phone.

It listens. It doesn't record. While you practise it reads things like your pitch and keeps only the numbers. Recordings happen only if you ask, and never leave your phone.
Nothing is sent anywhere. No account, no advertising, no tracking and no analytics. Delete everything in Settings with one button.
It keeps quiet. The optional daily reminder never mentions voices or gender, and it's off until you turn it on.

It doesn't score your gender. An app can't tell you that.

Questions

More in Help

Who is it for?

Trans women and transfeminine people who want to change how they sound. If you want a lighter, brighter voice, the course is built for that. It is for ages 16 and over.

How long until I notice a difference?

Most people notice something in the first few weeks of practising most days, and a real change over months. The app is built around small amounts, often, because that is what works.

Does it record me?

No, unless you ask it to. It listens while you practise and keeps only the numbers. If you choose to keep a recording of your first reading, it stays on your phone.

Is it free?

Yes. The daily practice is free, with no ads.

Does it work on iPhone?

Not yet. It is on Android now, in testing through Google Play, and an iPhone version comes next.

Should I start with pitch?

Usually not. Resonance, how bright or dark your voice sounds, does more for how your voice is heard, and chasing pitch on its own is how people strain. That is why the course starts with resonance and brings in pitch third.
