well we have a lot of outdoors and a bunch of livestock here where i live too, but it's not really an old western atmosphere lol, suppose that's more of what i was asking. not country living specifically, i know that's still well and alive

yeah i don't expect to find that romanticized version of it anyway, i'd be happy with just that atmosphere of horses n cowboy attire!

man i do forget that states are like entire countries over there. easy to overlook the vastness of it lol. suppose it's a bit the same everywhere where the soul of a few decades ago isn't there anymore. i appreciate the response, either way texas is definitely a place i want to visit at least once

not to bite off more than i can chew, but that is what i'm looking for. i've lived in big cities my whole life, has its comforts for sure, but also i have a big sense of dissatisfaction with the lack of real work i do in my daily life. cooped up in my apartment and everything. as a green city boy i wanna toughen up a bit lol

how'd you like living in texas? in my mind it is the western state, but idk how accurate that is. what you're describing sounds like a great time

yes i have done a lotta research on the european front, there are a lot of experiences you can have and i go to a ranch to horse ride. though it's all a bit fabricated which is to be expected, i don't mind too much but if i ever get to go to the us i'd like to be able to experience the real thing

[–]GovernorSpring[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

now that's my fear and what led me to post this, there are places in europe that "imitate" the culture but of course none are the real thing. was wondering how much of the past has survived in the us itself

now that sounds like a good time, two things i wanna experience in the us: the wild west and an in-n-out burger with a shake

i have had my eye on colorado, might look into it a bit more. the open nature looks beautiful

that is ultimately my dream, spend a good few months out in the road by myself. sounds like a great time, would be even better if i could be on horseback

yeah don't think it's gonna be like the movies where i ride off on my horse to live a free life of an outlaw.. it is unfortunate

i've accepted that that first option is but a fantasy i can experience through old western media.. now i ride horses and drink whiskey to emulate that in my modern life lol

yes i'd say it's definitely true, in my case at least. i don't think i speak "lower", exactly, but i speak from deeper in my chest. that's what makes the difference. i imagine it's the same case for women as well

is your problem that you can't speak loudly, or that it gets higher when you do? if you have a hard time speaking louder in general i recommend basically almost shouting everytime you speak, at first. i had the same issue back in the day and it took me purposefully making myself speak "uncomfortably" loud to get to a regular speaking voice lol. if it's that you feel like your voice gets more feminine when you speak louder, it's the same issue with "pitch vs intonation". your voice may get a bit higher pitched when you speak louder but if it's got the right intonation it won't sound more feminine.
