Ugh I hate voice training so much but after yesterday's breakdown while trying and getting two "voice analysis" results showing "0% female, 92% male" I decided to watch some videos I've seen recommended, and honestly YuukoEX was the one that helped me the most because I feel like I can try to emulate her voice better than others I've heard.

After spending yesterday on exercises and trying to figure out various muscles around my throat, I managed this:

It's not much, but it's an improvement!

Also, I'm trying eye liner today! It's a little smudged in one or two spots, but it makes a HUGE difference in my own perception! I even took a face selfie! On purpose!! (for myself I am not nearly confident enough to post lol)

So if you need the reminder, I guess here it is!

On the eyeliner: I've found that not everyone is doing what I do: I rest my hand on my face to stabilise the pencil/brush when applying it. I would suck at freehand drawing it. But this way, I manage to not smudge anything! (Unless I forget and look up too soon)

I basically used my off-hand to pull my skin a little bit to help with the pencil, and rested my dominant hand as much as possible on my cheek. My eyelid moved a bit on the left side, but it was mostly fixed.

I just went with a super thin line around the top and bottom of the lid, and then put a small flick off to either side. Something simple for today.

I need to find someone who knows makeup (partner was never a girly girl and hated makeup) to sit down with and do some easier stuff. Honestly even a little bit I think might go a long way. I have a somewhat androgynous face and if it weren't for my facial hair I'm wrangling with every day, I think I'd almost pass.

I definitely started out trying to freehand the eyeliner but quickly gave up on that when my hand started trembling.

Damn, I should just find someone to do a full makeover from the shoulders up on me and walk me through the process so I might be able to replicate it.
