Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
It such a surreal moment whenever it comes up whenever I try to reach for my pre voice training mode of speech.(usually as a cute party trick with queer folk)
this last weekend at a queer gathering, I was completely unable to have a sound concept for what I used to sound like pre voice training, and the best I could conjure was basically a woman who smokes cigarettes kind of voice.
Feels like a really good place to be. Voice training was an incredible thing for my inner sense of self and healing.
The further I get along, and I certainly have such a long way to go, the more I feel like whoever I was pre transition integrates into a better sense of self. For the queer joy, just want to emphasize that there are so many fucking challenges that go into transitioning, but it is still the best decision I have made in my life.
That's awesome! I'm very happy for you.
I would like to start training my voice more. The thing is I've always been decent at modulating my voice in general and can do a semi-decent feminine voice as it is, but it's so hard for me to stick to that. My natural voice is already rather low and masculine and I find myself just reverting to it subconsciously unless I'm constantly thinking about shifting it as I speak. But I guess that's what the whole "training" part is for lol.
I remember a couple months ago I went on a first date with a woman and beforehand I convinced myself I was going to try out my feminine voice for the date. She knew I was trans and all. So, it's not like I was trying to hide that. Just thought it would be a fun experiment as we hadn't actually talked prior, just texted. I immediately subconsciously reverted to my normal voice upon meeting her. So that experiment failed. Though it might have been a hard ruse to keep up with anyway had we went on any dates afterwards, which we unfortunately did not--though we had plans to, our schedules just never aligned properly and things fizzled out.
Anyway, happy for you and you've provided me inspiration to make a more concerted effort to train my voice too :)
It takes a long time for it to become habit. For real. It was really reassuring for me when I met a transfem who helps trans folks voice train, and she really emphasized that this is a long term habit of something so personal as our voice, and that really takes time to develop into a place where we want it. Be patient, I bet youβre fucking killing it, honestly.
You could have always switched later. :P Like, no one I work with ever says anything despite me shifting between accidentally doing old voice (typically if really tired and/or congested), basically the voice I'm trying to do for now (idk what I want long-term, so relatively minimal changes from old voice), and accidentally switching to a customer-service-esque voice (which for some reason is really high pitched). I did once have a child to laugh at the contrast of me suddenly doing customer-service-voice with the very deep voice of the person I was responding too. And its not like I'm out at work.
