We've included plenty of informational graphics and on-camera examples to help you find and perfect your female voice.

Order Title #207642: NEW Spectrogram Companion Video

Deep Stealth was recently called upon to provide voice training and consultation for Felcity Huffman, star of television's "Desperate Houswives", for her role as transwoman Bree Daniels in the feature film Transamerica. Calpernia also plays a Texas fiddle player encountered by Felcity's character, but the very first image in the film (and the first person listed in the closing credits) is our own Andrea James, in an excerpt from "Finding Your Female Voice". Bree is a serious, hard-working woman on track for vaginoplasty and absolutely committed to being accepted by society as the woman she is. And she chooses "Finding Your Female Voice", going through the exercises as she readies herself for work at the beginning of the film.

Transamerica is a film by writer/director Duncan Tucker about a transwoman (Felcity Huffman) who discovers a son she never knew the week before her sexual reassignment surgery. After bailing him out of jail in New York, she returns home to LA with him on a cross-country journey in which she struggles with issues of coming out, parenthood and self acceptance.

Duncan contacted Calpernia and Andrea and engaged them as consultants for his script, verifying the accuracy of his portrayl of a transwoman's experience. Lead actress Felcity Huffman visited Deep Stealth on numerous occasions to talk with Calpernia and Andrea, and to work on getting her voice right for the role as she saw it.

A festival darling at Tribeca and others, it was aquired by the Weinstiens and will be distributed later this year.

Using a Macintosh computer?

The Spectrogram programs available for Macintosh are not as flexible as the PC-based options used in this video, but we have a time-limited option you can use for a short time to get a sense of where your voice is. After the demonstration runs out, you will need to purchase the full-up version.

IMPORTANT:

The free version of the Mac compatible spectrogram comes with very limited preview time. It is important that you have your computer set up to accept audio input, preferably through a microphone, before installing and opening the program.

For help with installing audio input devices, consult your owner’s manual or contact your local computer or consumer electronics store that knows Mac products.
