I finally pass visually, at least sometimes (I can tell because men have started referring to me as girl, and online they condescendingly explain basic programming concepts to me), but man my voice is so masculine. I've only just started voice training and I wish I had started earlier.
I've been doing voice training recently with quite a bit of success. don't forget to have fun with it and play around! the lions share of the work is figuring out which muscles in your neck you want to use. voice training doesn't have to be all doom and gloom, it can be an actually fun thing to do! and trust me, it'll be worth it when you finally hear your true voice <3
Thanks for the encouragement <3 I've been putting it off and definitely been a bit in the "doom and gloom" headspace. I've always spoken in a fairly deep monotone, so its fair to say I was pretty daunted by the idea of manipulating my voice. That said, I actually finally managed to make some minor (but meaningful) progress last time I practiced, so hopefully I can ride on that success to motivate me!
that's awesome and yeah I was in a similar boat (deep voice with vocal fry). if your experience will be anything like mine, there will come a moment where it just clicks and while it won't immediately give you an angelic voice, manipulating your voice will feel so much more intuitive (and that's where it gets really fun ime).
If it helps, I can't recommend this resource highly enough. In 3 months I achieved results close to my goal after poor results of on and off practice for the last few years.
I'll check it out! Hopefully it works as well for me as it did for you
Good luck! I will qualify that I was able to have 3 separate 10-15 minute practice sessions a day, spaced out 3 or more hours from each other. Getting the practice in consistently helped a lot.
