The soundtrack for this video features piano recordings from my great-grandfather Bill Vuono as well as original pieces and songs of mine, with performances from Hans Bilger (bass), Alexander Dubovoy (piano), and Dexter Stanley-Tauvao (drums).
It also features covers of "The Best Things In Life Are Free" (DeSylva/Brown/Henderson) and "Ramona" (Gilbert/Wayne) as well as Billy Tipton's version of "The Man I Love" (George/Ira Gershwin)

Voice training resources that were most helpful for me as a binary trans woman:
@ZoeyAlexandria's "Whispering Siren" exercise: ua-cam.com/video/F6Noi2qERus/v-deo.html
The entire @TransVoiceLessons channel, but specifically these two videos:
ua-cam.com/video/BfCS01MkbIY/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/BW8X2nXexQs/v-deo.html
But, as I highlight in this video, one of the most helpful things for me was listening to a lot of voices I admired while watching this frequency tracker so I could learn about the "melody" of feminine- and masculine-perceived voices: www.speechandhearing.net/laboratory/ampitch/

    This wasn't wasn't what I was expecting (although I can't remember what I was expecting), but I'm pleasantly surprised nonetheless. Coming out recently as transfem to my friends and family at eighteen years old has been a wild ride, to say the least. I've loved singing my whole life, but refuse to let anyone hear my singing voice because I'm ashamed of it. Hopefully someday I can achieve that voice I imagine in my head. Beautiful video. ❤

    I think when people know you’re trans, even if they’re not outright transphobes, you get treated differently from other people of your gender. To most cis people it negates some aspect of full womanhood/manhood. Knowing paradoxically stops cis people from fully understanding you, they can’t see you as just another man or woman; you’re a third category of othered person

I just have Shoutmon in my mind everytime Gonzo speaks lmao Personally I don't mind baby gonzo wearing a dress. *But yeah! Companies and potential creeps should stay away from children if they're going to have such wild takes! Such as trans panic and child queerity*

    For some odd reason .. People with alot of problems in their lives seem to latch on to issues that make them feel better about themselves. Racism bigotry and various other social issues seem to draw in broken people like a moth to flame... Often privliged people have had life so easy that their guilt causes them to latch onto any movment that gives their life meaning ... This is why so many privliged college kids are willing to ruin their lives protesting ... or speaking on racial issues that they really have no buissiness talking about ... I grew up white in a very diverse area of Florida. Racial issues seem much bigger when you are removed from these people and didn't grow up around them. I remember kids on the schoolbus casually trash talking eachother making racial jokes and not getting bend out of shape about it. If anything it was a way to learn about eachother or even understand why something might be seen as racist.. But now we have white people who have always been around white people... terrified of being seen as racist ,scared to do anything out of fear of being seen as a bigot.. People's lost attempts to be seen as a good person ultimately only divide people.. You don't fix the world by forgetting its past. And by your other videos your in no place to preach

    I used to be really wary of age gap relationships because of some things I saw unfold in the people around me, people I love who got hurt but that was a long time ago, there were outside factors to those situations and they also just aren’t my experiences. Im realizing that this is just something I’ve been needlessly judgmental of. Also want to shoutout Harold and Maude, big age gap but probably my favorite romance movies ever.

    This video hits so close to home for me. Being a hobbyist music producer who was largely inspired by Pogo growing up, and later coming out as trans. My feelings about him are complicated. It feels like I got betrayed by him in a way. All I can hope to do now is continue to find my voice and identity through music and make something more positive and impactful. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this video! It means a hell of a lot to me.

    Been going to Disney a long time. Have to say I always just enjoyed the attractions while at Disney. It is a place of imagination. I never read anything into the rides, never looked for politics and such in them. I so enjoyed Disney back then. Seems the world has turned any ;and everthing into feelings issues. I went to Disney to get away from the world. Now the world has invaded it . Its harder to enjoy Disney these days. People in the entertainment industry need to focus on that. That is what you are good at.

This is a very important aspect of the trans voice which is seldom spoken about and I wish I had this video at the start of my transition it would have made life much easier in understanding about my voice.

  • @CodexPotter

    I think something else to mention when you said people sound different in vlogs vs videos is that a vlog is often life and a video is a presentation. Like look at vlogbrothers, that is absolutely not how they talk in a conversation. People always have multiple voices. I have a customer service voice, phone voice, tired voice, meeting new people voice, being empowered or confrontational voice. Its incredibly normal for everyone to present in different ways at different times and the voice is one of the main things we can do thay with.
