About EvaGiving Everyone a Voice
Eva (Exceptional Voice App) is a self-guided voice-training
program for iOS devices. Eva F provides voice feminization, and Eva
M provides voice masculinization training. These coaching apps are
highly developed systems to bring users to the voice that matches
their gender identity and self-expression. Eva F is organized into
three courses. These courses address the needs of transgender women
from a beginners perspective to those who have made good progress
with their voices, but want further improvement. Eva F users have
the option of downloading a free sample lesson so they can
experience the program before purchasing it.Currently, Eva F has 15
lessons in the first course (beginners level) for transgender women
just beginning their voice training. Eva M, when completed, will
have a single course of ten lessons. Currently, the Eva M app has
five lessons available for trans masculine people training their
voices.
About EvaGiving Everyone a Voice
Evas unique and engaging exercises provide immediate feedback
with its built-in frequency tuner. Feedback is essential for any
training program in guiding its users to maximum success. We are
currently working on one ofEvas real-time voice analysis tools,
ourgroundbreakingResonance Analyzer. It allows users to observe,
and shift, the resonant frequencies (the overtones) to shape their
voices. The other tools that are already available in the app are:
pitch tuner: measures and displays the pitch (frequency) of the
voicepitch tracker: displays a time-based snapshot of the
pitchsound pressure level Meter: monitors the loudness of the voice
Metronome: for pacing of the speech Voice Recorder: users can keep
track of their progress.
About EvaGiving Everyone a Voice
Legacy:Eva 1.0 was initially released in 2013, wherein each
lesson was its own app. Eva 2.0, which was released in 2015, had a
major update. All individual lessons are now contained within a
single app (EvaF or EvaM). Eva 1.0 apps will not migrate to Eva
2.0, but users can still work with those lessons outside of the 2.0
app. Important Compatibility Issues: Eva F and Eva M are available
for iPhones and iPads that run iOS version 6 and higher. The
current versions of Eva M and Eva F (2.3) are NOT compatible with
iPad Pro, and iPhonemodels4 / 4s or below are not supported.
