The Big Dog Little Dog Exercise
The Big Dog Little Dog Exercise
Start by imitating the breathing of a big dog.
Slowly shift to imitating the breathing of a little dog.
Notice the what your mouth and throat are doing differently for each.
Masculine is the big dog / low resonance.
Feminine is the little dog / high resonance.
Resonance matters as much as pitch - maybe more than pitch - in terms of gender-affirming your voice.
Big Dog Breathing ---> Little Dog Breathing.
It's cringe to do, but fuck it.
It reminds you of those copy-pastas that make you pantomime a blow job or something, but it's not that, I promise.
Just try it.
Big dog.
Small dog.
Resonance.
I'll keep talking about this until somebody tells me I shouldn't.
Try it.
Do it.
