MrBeast's friend Kris Tyson reveals her girl voice as she explains the process behind getting it
The transgender YouTuber opened up about her vocal transition
Kris Tyson has revealed her 'girl voice' and showed the process she goes through to bring it out.
Tyson, who came out as transgender earlier this year, has been a staple on MrBeast's YouTube channel for years.
As part of the most subscribed YouTube channel, there was a lot of attention drawn to her gender identity.
In April, a video was released which claimed that Tyson's gender would prove problematic for MrBeast, who has over 100 million subscribers.

Responding on Twitter, MrBeast - whose real name is James Stephen Donaldson - said: "Yeah, this is getting absurd.
"Chris isn’t my ‘nightmare’ he’s my f**ken friend and things are fine. All this transphobia is starting to p*ss me off."
Since then, Tyson has become more and more open about their transition, sharing that they would now be going by 'Kris' and using she/her pronouns.
In a recent interview with Anthony Padilla, she shared another insight into her journey - how she achieves a 'girl voice'.
When Padilla asked if she'd changed her voice, Tyson responded: "I am working on it. I'm gonna say a sentence but I'll kind of also show you like the process I have to do.
"I'm in a newer stage, I've only been going for a little bit so it's easier for me to find that feminine voice by doing a warm up. It sounds goofy."
Making reference the scrutiny she'd been placed under, Tyson said: "It won't sound perfect. It probably will get picked on a little bit.
"But that's kinda what I like doing is showing people the real, the rawness of it."
When Padilla pushed for her to show her voice, Tyson prefixed by saying that she might need a few takes.
She then launched into her vocal warm-up, which consisted of making a 'Hee' sound.
Then, feeling prepared, she asked her interviewer in a softer tone: "Hey Anthony, congratulations on buying Smosh."
As Padilla laughed, he laid the praise on: "That was good!"
During the same interview, Tyson also talked about her decision to publicly come out to the internet.
The YouTuber explained: "I’ve been fully confident in that decision for over a year now. My idea was to play catch-up with the internet in the way that I discover myself.
"I needed the freedom to express myself and figure out who I was and for a while I was gender fluid.
"I’m very proud of who I was and how I’ve gotten here - it took me a long time to get here - but I’m finally here so I’m not ashamed of all of that or anything, I’m actually really proud of it."
