How to Make a Female Voice With Audacity

Audacity, a free audio editor, makes changing the pitch of a voice possible so that you can create a softer and more characteristically female timbre. Female voices tend to be higher, smoother and more expressive than male voices. Audacity helps you to make several changes to the pitch and quality of the voice. Some of these changes are best completed when making the actual recording. Many women have voices in the same range as men, so it is the quality and style of speaking that you will have to concentrate your efforts on.

      Install and open Audacity. This will create a new file for you to begin recording with.

      Press the red record button in Audacity. This will begin recording your voice. When speaking try to raise your pitch up and down to create a melodic tone. Males should avoid the tendency to speak in a monotone. Exaggerate any inflections in your voice. Press the "Stop" button when you finish recording. Speak in a higher voice than normal.
