What does the checker measure?

It uses sound characteristics in the recording, including average pitch and vocal resonance such as formants. The result is only a reference for how the recording may be perceived.

Does it determine my sex or gender identity?

No. It describes how this particular recording may sound and does not determine gender identity, biological sex, or personality.

What kind of voice should I record?

Read the text shown on the external site in a voice close to your normal speaking style. Keep a steady distance from the microphone and choose a quiet place if possible.

What if the microphone does not work?

Check the browser's microphone permission, confirm the selected input device, close other apps using the microphone, and reload the external page. See that site's guidance for supported browsers.

What is the Voice Impression Checker?

The Voice Impression Checker is an external entertainment test. You read the displayed text, record your voice, and see whether that recording tends to sound masculine, feminine, or neither. Average pitch and vocal resonance, sometimes described through formants, are among the clues it uses. It does not determine your gender identity or biological sex.

Microphone permission and recording are handled on the external site.

What changes a voice's masculine or feminine impression?

A voice impression is not determined by pitch alone. Resonance, pronunciation, and recording conditions can all affect the result.

Average pitch

Fundamental frequency, which relates to vocal fold vibration, is one important clue in whether a voice sounds higher or lower.

Formants and resonance

Resonance shaped in the mouth and throat can make voices with a similar pitch sound different from one another.

Vowel resonance

The way vowels resonate while you read can provide additional clues about the qualities of your voice.

Microphone and delivery

Your device, background noise, microphone distance, and speaking style can change the result, even for the same person.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPLORE

A voice impression based on your recording

The result presents three possible directions and offers a starting point for thinking about the sound qualities behind them.

A more masculine impression

See whether the sound qualities in this recording tend to be perceived in a more masculine direction.

A more feminine impression

See whether the sound qualities in this recording tend to be perceived in a more feminine direction.

Neither or in between

A voice does not have to lean clearly masculine or feminine; an in-between impression is also a possible result.

Pitch and resonance together

Consider the result through multiple acoustic clues, including pitch and formant-related resonance.

When might you try it?

Get to know your voice

Pair your own reaction to a recording with one additional way of describing how the voice sounds.
