I mean it's not bad, but I still got that husky clocky thing going on. Still need to dial in the sharpness, get more consistent, and find the confidence to go all-in.

I'm not sure I get it.
Sorry, maybe it was a bit too obscure! It's a meme about feminizing voice training.
First panel is Frieren; she has a fairly deep voice (for anime at least) but obviously feminine. Should be achievable, and I'd be really happy if I could sound anywhere close to that (although maybe a bit less breathy).
Second panel is Makoto from Sempai is an Otokonoko - the scene where he's(*) standing in front of a blackboard after being outed. His voice is quite soft and high, but sounds like a boy (in-universe he can pass) -- which is kind of where I'm at most of the time.
I'm talking about the Japanese voice acting, btw. I assume the dubs use similar voices.
(*) There's apparently some debate over this, but since Makoto rejects wanting to be a girl and explicitly says "I'm a guy", I'm going to assume femboy rather than trans girl.
I haven't read the manga, but in the anime the only time I remember Makoto saying they don't want to be a girl is when they say something along the lines of "I don't want to live as a boy or a girl, I want to live as me". They read to me as pretty obviously someone not done with their gender journey, with a lot of internalized transphobia. And judging from their reactions from people reading them as a girl, I'd guess they'll end up transfem (whether girl or nb).
Ah, that sounds like a weird translation then. Looking at the manga (I think the line in the anime was similar), Makoto says:
That is, "I want to live as me. I'm a boy but I like girly things."
OTOH, as you say the reaction to being perceived as a girl (and trying to pass as one at school) is pretty telling. But egg prime directive, and all that.
Makoto did also say that in the same scene, but I largely take the "I'm a boy" comments with a grain of salt, since much of that often reads as "I'm amab" or "I'm supposed to be a boy". I'm also not sure the egg prime directive applies to fictional characters*, though I'd definitely be using he/him if Makoto were a real person, yes, lol.
*There are a bunch of reasons for this but one of them is that the nature of storytelling is that each person's understanding of a story is a little different because no medium perfectly relays what's in the author's mind into our minds, so we each get our own personal Makoto in our own heads. Mine is definitely a girl (egg) but I don't really fault anyone for coming to different conclusions (unless they're for transphobic reasons, lol)
