    I keep having bad experiences with it where my friends straight up don’t even notice I’m trying. I was talking with my friend and switched to a subtly “femme” voice while talking about the idea of voice training and this bitch turns to me with a bright smile and says “You should try your voice training right now” like i hadn’t already been doing for the last 45 seconds

    my other friend told me “idk i just hear [my name]” when i tried switching. holy fuck i’m putting such effort and thought into what i’m saying and people straight up don’t fucking notice

      Unfortunately, the first couple steps are not very noticeable. It takes mastering a lot of techniques to get to that point where it’s clearly different to those that hear your voice often. I think it took me around 2 or 3 months before people started to hear a difference. This is definitely a skill that requires a massive amount of effort and a massive amount of time investment. It’s hard af, but holy hells it is worth it.
