Hi everyone.
I was hoping to get some feedback on something that has me pretty nervous and anxious.
So very quickly some background context.
For about the past 15 yrs I’ve played with a few friends in a band where I am the singer. That’s not to say I’m very good at singing but I’m the singer. Although, I’ve been questioning my gender for about 7yrs or so, I’ve only ever expressed gender as a guy to my band and whenever we’ve gigged around. On a side note: I haven’t seen the guys since then virus lockdowns happened in March of 2020 and I’ve been on hormone therapy for seven months. Ooof. I wonder what they’ll think when they see me again.
Ok… so fast forward to today.
I recently joined a site that has a songwriting challenge and I am really excited about participating but also REALLY nervous about posting songs with my singing voice because I just don’t sing well with my girl voice. Heck, for that matter I don’t’ really sing well with my boy voice either. *rimshot*
Anyway, so on this site I posted a photo of myself where I look like….
well, I look like a girl... albeit a somewhat transy girl but the pics are small so I look pretty girl-ish. I am super nervous almost to the point of panic attack about posting a song where I sound like… I don’t know…
where I sound like Barry White.
Ok, sounding like Barry White would be pretty cool but you see my point.
So I’m kinda freaking out a little and not really sure what to do about posting songs
What do you think? Please, don’t hold back. Please be honest. I mean if you saw a profile pic of someone who looks like a girl (even a somewhat transy looking girl) and she sounded like Barry White what would you think? Ok, I don't sound like Barry White but my boy-voice is deeper than my speaking girl-voice.
Oh, and the site is not closed off to the public. Anyone can view the links.
