Something I really like about the profile posts is they can only be seen by logged in members of the forum.
And right now, I'm really liking that a lot because I'm about to make myself feel pretty vulnerable.
If you saw my thread about "matching voice to gender expression" you saw me write about the anxiety I have about my singing voice. Anxiety... dysphoria... I guess it's a fine line.
So I've been practicing...
and practicing and practicing annnnd practicing on my hour-long drive to work, desperately trying to work on my voice.
Wanna know something? It turns out singing like a woman is WAY harder than talking like a woman, which also isn't very easy when you were born with a body that went through puberty powered by testosterone. Also, it doesn't help any that I'm not that great of a singer to begin with.
Well, here goes. Last weekend I recorded a song that I know pretty well and gave it a shot. I'm afraid this is about as close as I'm going to get my voice to sound like a woman singing, which is to say... not at all.
But the thing is... I don't identify as a woman (or as some on the interwebs have started saying, "a woman of transgender experience"). I may be shapeshifting to look like a woman (as I've been on gender affirming hormone therapy for seven months) but I'm an enby. And my voice is that of an enby's, which doesn't necessarily have to sound like a woman's and I should be ok with that. Only problem is it's easier said than to believe.
So in the link below it will take you to my recent profile post where another link will take you to hear me singing a cover of John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery"
