Question:The two biggies are your walk and your stance. Most guys go to far, coming off as comically femine or gay. Study the way women walk (particularly women that resemble your character, if you can).

Don't try too hard to change the voice, unless you have an extremely low voice. Trying to go higher generally takes it over the top. Do study the inflections in the voice of women, as opposed to men, because there are some common differences.

Costuming is important, too, if you have any control over it. Don't attempt to wear sleeveless or short sleeve shirts, or anything too tight, because you'll look like a drag queen, not a real woman, with body hair and a different, more masculine build.

wear the very slim fit jeans and move like the girls but why do you want to do this ? i'm curious

well,

you need to act affectionate and all feminine, i suggest watching the movie "mean girls" and act like the character "Regina george ", walk like a girl wiggle your hips and ***.

Never act gay. Acting girl and gay are different. Don't overdo it, acting includes a lot of things aside from the physical acting. Listen to a girl talk and take note of her words, expressions and things that delight her. Sulk shoulders once in a while, and always keep those legs together no matter how it hurts your balls. =)

just watch females and be truthful, follow them walking, see how they communicate, what we do differently etc.

It's all in the walk. Get a girl friend to help you with this. Watch women on the street. Observe there facial expressions. Observe their body languge. But trust me, start with the walk.

get in touch with your feminine side
