      Probably waking up as dudes and enjoying things they couldn’t before with trans homies. Whatever those things are, they’re probably really nerdy

      Still involves Yukko busting through one of the walls, making you do your voice training at gunpoint, raiding your fridge, and getting you involved in an escape from the federal government.

        Do most transguys do voice training? I never did any, my voice just naturally cracked after a while on T

    Is oestrogen different from estrogen? Or estradiol?

    Edit: Apparently oestrogen is the British spelling. Neat.

      Make it fun so your ND brain actually enjoys it. I voice trained by singing along to music while practicing individual elements of my voice. I did singing in a masc voice to improve my range, singing with feminine resonance at low pitches (took the longest), varying my pitch for emphasis instead of my volume, and trying to match female singers while pulling it all together.

      I did eventually need to use Voice Tools to hear myself back, but by getting a grasp on everything through singing, that part was much easier. If I didn’t make it fun, I wouldn’t have gotten it done.

      Once I felt confident enough, I switched to a fem voice full-time, as my brain needed to be trained to use that voice in social situations. Now I can’t even get myself to do a male passing voice in front of other people. I tried after only a month full-time and just couldn’t anymore 🥰

        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.
