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).
