I think for many people , it is a normal phase to go through . I think this is very likely due to the fact that it ' s much easier to raise the pitch of one ' s voice , than it is adjusting resonance from the chest , to the head . Raising pitch alone in a voice that has broken , is not enough to achieve a female sounding voice . Raising pitch alone will just result in , as you say , a feminine male voice . Focussing on adjusting resonance is key to acheiving a female tone of voice . Everyone is different , but for me , achieving a female sounding voice was easy , as I ' d been purposely training my voice to sound female from childhood . Unfortunately , after my voice broke , though I could still achieve that voice , sustaining it during lengthy conversation was the problem . Before my voice broke , I never had to focus on resonance . Then suddenly I ' d find my voice dropping back into male resonance during lengthy conversation . For this reason , Im considering surgery to fix my voice properly .
