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."
