Yes it is kinda breathy until you build up your muscles in the top of your throat. Have some protein after practicing too. Be sure you're not doing falsetto. You should get up to falsetto and be in the notch just below it and build that up

It took me 3-4 months of daily practice, usually 1-2 hrs per day to get anywhere on the voice

Okay wow this helps a ton, thank you.

I really wish online resources were more than "just tighten your throat and da da da da congrats you have feminized your voice"

No problem. I also suggest finding a phrase and sticking to that to practice. Like a short song or something, but just say the words in your speaking voice. Then stick to that for all of your voice training going forward, and also record yourself and compare to previous attempts. This will help you target the right muscles and build them up.

If you feel your voice is still too low, don't be discouraged. As you build those muscles up you get better control of them and can slowly squeeze it higher and higher over time. Try not to force anything, straining your voice can really hurt and put you out of commission for days
