Trying to do what the title says. This is the result of only a couple serious practice sessions. Everything you hear is my voice.
No processing is applied to the voices beyond attempts to improve the bad mic quality (high/low cuts, compression, and a noise gate specifically). No pitch correction, time stretching, or formant manipulation of any kind. The third voice has only a chorus filter and some reverb applied.
I cough in the first one because I've read that being able to recover your voice from high stress moments like that is difficult.
The lines Voice #2 is speaking are from Zandar's Saga.
Critique, comments, anything at all are appreciated. Be harsh.

Thank you! This is my first time even so much as doing a test recording of my girl voice actually; I've only been practicing a couple days.
The fact I can do it even this well is probably because my "natural" speaking voice is actually the result of needing to force my voice down all through puberty, since I was expected to pass as male growing up (and I never did a good job of it).

This is all so alien to me. I mean I don't feel like I even deserve the title of transgirl, or female pronouns or anything similar, but I don't know why. Then again I never felt like I deserved the title of "male" either because I was always so unconvincing at it.
Even more alien is the idea something about my physical self being something someone might be jealous of. This is the same voice that brought me to tears so many times throughout my teens.
That said if you're going through something similar and need any advice I'd be more than happy to lend any of my limited experience. It'd help me feel less like I'm just putting on flamboyant airs, if anything.

Fight it all your life, then give up one day.
But I understand not everyone is this....."lucky", so you should basically focus on:
- Raising the pitch at which your voice breaks into falsetto
- Learning which muscles in your mouth and throat control which vocal qualities.
- Recording yourself. Try different phrases, speaking styles, levels of breathiness, sing-songiness etc.
- Persistence
The sing-songiness is a strange one. I simply can't do this voice for normal speaking tones, but I can do this at length, even though the pitch is the same.
These videos provide some really good exercises and training advice, though they're more about giving you muscle control and don't do a lot to describe how to "sound girly".
And thank you, that means a lot. I really didn't expect responses this positive.
