My voice doesn’t pass by any means, but I do have a softer, higher register that I’ve often used in situations like that my whole life. I work on making it a little more feminine over time, and try to use it more often. My partner and I work on it all the time, because they are fully supportive of my transition and never judge.
I just had my first official endo appt and she’s referring me to a group vocal therapy for trans folks, so I’m super nervous but also super excited to practice!
lucky.
also for me, my voice is sooo deep i cant do it because it just sounds buzzy, hell i cant quietly talk because of it. i dont know why now but this gave me an incentive/motivation to start some kind of voice training
It’s my firm belief that there’s no such thing as a masculine voice.
I know, I know, but: consider After Ever After by Paint (https://yewtu.be/watch?v=diU70KshcjA), or direct speech in a well-read single-narrator audiobook. There are objective sonic qualities of a voice, but that’s not how human perception works. I can guarantee you’re overthinking it. (Though if you want to mix up your speaking habits, by all means go for it! I recommend learning to do impressions and accents, for awesomeness purposes.)
I wish I could say that but my masculine voice would completely ruin it

i’d be inclined to agree but how things are now society doesnt agree so…
