What's ND? And yeah, Voice Tools is handy. There's also a voice acoustics box or something, helped me with resonance (which I still don't understand).
Pitch, easy enough, that's how high or low the voice is. But resonance, I don't hear terribly much difference between a voice with low and high resonance.
ND = Neurodivergent
Resonance is the secret sauce that makes voices sound really feminine or masculine. Trying to get your voice to sound feminine while keeping a consistent pitch is challenging, but will probably help you identify what differences in resonance sound like. A way to get there early on is to try and raise where your voice is coming from to higher in your throat and closer to the roof of your mouth. This approach has limitations and you'll eventually rely less on it, but it is helpful.
If you struggle with it, that's absolutely normal and expected. Voice training is so hard, but definitely worth the effort. Getting told my voice passes to the point that people wouldn't guess I'm trans is super validating.
