I decided to try playing with my voice a little bit- just happened to be on #TransVoiceFriday
A very short story going on in my life, not recording these every week or anything like that...
Just honestly let me know how I sound please!
Well technology is transphobic as fuck. I actually was inspired to share my voice for #transVoiceFriday and recorded a voice memo but cannot get the file to post via my app. Sushi and wine is getting warm … maybe I’ll try later
Still no prompts because still no spare time to make them. But there's a light at the end of the tunnel, so maybe I'll have spare time and bandwidth again in about a month! Wheee!!!
This week's prompt is Plans, and I push through this annoying thing in my throat to talk about how my recent plans have succeeded and failed.
Despite complaining about my throat I feel like I started off real good this week and then dropped resonance at about thirty seconds, tried to recover, and didn't quite get back to where I want to be. Fucking Technical Boy voice strikes again.
Looking forward to hearing you all on the hashtag! :D
Hey everyone. I skipped Trans Voice Friday entirely last week, but this is a very, very special week for me, so I had to make sure to celebrate it with another voice recording. It’s not just that I started HRT; yesterday I also had my last voice training session. My voice coach said I was ready and that I just need to continue doing my exercises for a few months to make sure this voice becomes my default.
She said that I was a rare case for her, because several elements of my voice were already quite feminine and others just needed a bit of work; I am the first one she wrapped with in just 5 sessions. :o I feel privileged but also a bit in disbelief; can’t this really be it? If so, I am a lucky gal.
As part of the training, I recorded a weekly audio with the same text, and yesterday she played back the first and last ones… and I was shocked. Even though I was aware my voice had changed, I had no idea how much. I had a bit of a sore throat when I recorded the first one, so that might have had an influence, but still. I feel on top of the world right now. Things are finally clicking…
Strange worry: I'm doing vocal training and I hear a lot of trans women who've made awesome progress make comments like "I can't even go low like that anymore" and that worries me.
As much as I want to fem up my voice, I like the qualities of my lower singing voice... and I don't want to lose that.
So... when they say crap like "I can't even do that anymore" are they saying that it's been so long that they can't easily drop down there, or is there something that's been done that has physically blocked them out of that voice?
Ok, enough #TransVoiceFriday spam but for @melissabeartrix, the invasion goes down under... (I apologise for the attempted accent and will accept any punishment deemed necessary!)
#TransVoiceFriday#Song! My voice has been totally shot for 1.5 weeks thanks to me having Covid, and today I tried to do a little singing before I even knew about the topic this week. This is SUPER rough, not even more than a couple verses and a chorus, but what the heck.
For a girl who said for decades that she had no musical taste, this week's theme of "Song" is a weird one, but what about transition isn't weird, amirite?
Looking forward to hearing all my fellow voice-hacking transes on the hashtag! :D
Here’s my late post about #Dreams for #TransVoiceFriday! Thanks again to @miriamrobern for the prompts, it definitely makes things easier :-) Text transcript in the audio file!
Let’s make #TransVoiceFriday regular again! Here’s an entry from me, barely recovered after a croaky voice for weeks, kind of cheating by playing a song. I’ve been practicing for months and still don’t sound great, and if the only way to get better is by embarrassing myself publicly then so be it 😊
