This week, I want to touch on a few points to help you talk like a woman. Your actual vocal pitch can sometimes be affected after medical intervention, although depending on how low your voice was to begin with, you may not be able to alter it much, if at all. Some people will work on making their voice feminine by deliberately speaking higher. That is entirely up to you.
There is a great amount of emphasis placed on exterior feminization and ‘looking passable’ when you are a sissy or a crossdresser. Nothing will ever change this, of course. But learning to think like a woman and communicating in a feminine way is just as important. We always want to make the best impression possible!
Feminine imitation
The best way to imitate is to observe. This is a reinforcement lesson from the feminine observation film assignment in Week 3. Just watch women talk. Listen to them in conversation, in movies and television. Vary it up. Catch an old late night movie, go to lunch with a woman, sit through ‘The View’ once or twice. Rather than thinking of this as you learning to copy them, focus on learning some of their mannerisms, the natural ways their voices ebb and flow. Doing this will give you something to practice so you can make it natural to you.
By the way, I’m not trying to preach, but if you are serious about hoping to sound like a woman, you will need to stay away from things that can make your voice raspy, dry and crackled. Smoking can be a big reason why this occurs. As much as you can, help your voice stay warm and moist. Tea with honey helps, coffee and citrus can hurt. The softer you can keep your throat, the smoother your voice should be.
Feminine thoughts
Expand your feminine thoughts with books and magazines geared towards females. You need to start thinking about how you will say what you’re going to say when you’re out en femme.
Articulate, sophisticated women just speak differently. Men speak plainly, they sometimes skip details and naturally remove any flowery language or anything ‘extra’. Men may say, ‘That’s a nice blue dress. It looks good on you.’ But a woman might say, ‘That is the most beautiful periwinkle! Oh, I love how that brings out your eyes!’
Let me be clear, because someone might read that last statement and hear a snooty voice saying it. That’s not what we’re going for. It’s all about keeping your voice feminine and your speaking natural.
Feminine practice
Look for opportunities to practice talking. Call a friend. Go out of your way to answer questions differently than you would normally. Start slow and don’t go overboard. No one likes a motor mouth! Just relax and get used to the flow of conversation, enjoy playing more of a part. Many men will answer in short fragmented sentences. Some of them practically grunt their answers! Set yourself apart with thoughtful, mindful input and a feminine touch.
The beauty of women is that they’re so different, and they make you want what they’ve got. You are on a journey, but you can be just as charismatic, well-spoken and confident as any classy woman. As your femininzation Mistress, I will continue to help and guide you along the way.
