"more here than there" interpolates a line from Bruz Fletcher's song "Drunk With Love": "Someday she'll walk out my door/I guess that's what doors are for"
A special thanks to JD Doyle for providing research, resources, and recordings regarding Billy Tipton. Please check out his work over at Queer Music Heritage! https://queermusicheritage.com/

Voice training resources that were most helpful for me as a binary trans woman:
@ZoeyAlexandria's "Whispering Siren" exercise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Noi2qERus
The entire @TransVoiceLessons channel, but specifically these two videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfCS01MkbIY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW8X2nXexQs
But, as I highlight in this video, one of the most helpful things for me was listening to a lot of voices I admired while watching this frequency tracker so I could learn about the "melody" of feminine- and masculine-perceived voices: https://www.speechandhearing.net/laboratory/ampitch/
