It’s really difficult to self teach, because you have to simultaneously be in the position of learner and teacher, which means it’s super difficult to stall out. I am tremendously grateful for the online resources that make it so easy to learn new skills (both in voice training and beyond), but it can be pretty overwhelming for a beginner.
I think it’s particularly difficult with trans voice training because any sort of voice training is probably going to require recording one’s voice and listening to those recordings, and that can be an incredibly dysphoric experience (especially at the beginning).
It sounds like you are wise enough to understand this already, which is good. I wish you the strength to tolerate your masc voice until you’re able to get help in finding your real voice.
