Accidentally learning 165 different voices, and moving to not working with other people anymore [Update] (Patreon)

It has been a bit! I've been working very hard (especially in the mental growth department, thank you therapy). Sometimes, systems have issues that create problems over time. So, I've making big changes to the whole system of how I'm doing things. I will be honest, I have no idea how I fit the update/explanations on things into less than 10 minutes of audio. Regardless, basic bullet points are:
- No more collabs with other people (or having heavy direct association with others in general)
- Removing all past collabs with others (most are already gone; others are to follow)
- More self-collabs (similar to this audio), changing current projects to solo
- Because I'm fully independent again, I can go back to feeling more comfortable in making really non-mainstream choices, which is nice
And also, I don't mention it in the audio, but google docs recently released a way better voice-to-text algorithm- so my (unfortunately still pretty messed up) right hand gets a lot more rest, and I can do scripts a lot easier!
If you're interested in learning your own voices, this video <link> among others helped me a lot! I may have watched it, like... 8 times. A lot of voices have to do with combo-ing together certain stuff (like, raspiness+floatiness+direct, or light+nasally+fast), which actually means that if you can learn how to change specific parts of your voice, the amounts of different distinct characters you can do increases exponentially. So that's been cool to learn. Can be good if you like DND or you're trying to make audio-related stuff yourself (among other potential reasons).
I've also been practicing voice feminization since (among other reasons) I'd like to eventually do F characters in audios. If you're interested in that, "trans voice feminization" and similar terms turns out to be a REALLY effective search, and the reason for that is because transitioning M to F with hormones doesn't change your voice, unlike transitioning F to M, which *does* actually deepen+change your voice. So, this leads there to being a lot of extremely in-depth tutorials/resources on it, which is really beneficial- even if it does take a few months to properly learn. I looked for masculine voice guides and was pretty surprised on how much more uncommon they are- while there's still a lot of resources, this <link> among some scattered others were pretty much the only super in-depth ones I could find. Interesting stuff!!
Alright, that's enough rambles. I hope you're doing well- take care.
