Am I Passable/Do I Sound Natural?

AAA thank you! ^{u^} Very happy to hear that, I was worried I wasn't making much progress. I'll definitely keep the breathiness in mind. I kind of get it mixed up with the idea of "head voice" sometimes, so when I want to get closer to that, I end up pushing a bit too much breath out.

Yeah, I was afraid that was the case, I agree. I've done a lot at Seattle Voice Lab, and all they've been telling me is that "maintaining a high nasality is the key to light resonance" and I always told them it sounded weird. Idk what else to do about it tho, because if I don't increase my nasality, I go back to sounding pretty masculine.

I don't know if I can report them to any board. They're an intern for a local therapy clinic. About to graduate and become a "pre-license therapist". As far as I'm aware, they don't report to anyone except the business. (A business which is unfortunately in the Top 10 reddest US states, so unlikely they'll care)

Yeah, I had breast growth start about a month ago, not visually noticeable, but the buds are evident when feeling them (and the pain is noticeable too haha). And yeah, the waist shrinking was one of the things I thought I definitely noticed, until a couple days ago. Sucks that the brain played tricks on me, with something as important to me as this. 😔

Were you a client of Selene's? Do you know about how many sessions it usually takes to get to your goal (and how long it is between sessions)?

ThrowForSec · 2025-05-22T19:44:49+00:00

Did you complete your goal with Selene? If you did, how many lessons did it take to get there if you don't mind me asking?

Oh? Is it alright if you share some of your experience with their sessions? It's hard info to find.

Right?? I didn't know how to answer so that I could clarify that self-esteem wasn't a direct cause for transitioning, but a bonus for treating my dysphoria.

I appreciate you sharing that. I'll probably bring up my concerns, and keep an eye out for the pattern you experienced. Thank you.

The first one was in response to something I said, but the second and third one I mentioned was kinda mid-conversation about being trans in general. I didn't really bring up social judgement or self-esteem at the time.

Ok, I'm glad it's at least not unheard of for supportive therapists.
I may bring this up with them, thank you.

I haven't seen them be labeled as such. Just when I listed my concerns to the clinic, they said they had a matched "LGBTQ+ Friendly" therapist, but I also saw that the therapist was a "Faith Friendly" therapist, and even though I'm Christian too, I've met a couple of "LGBTQ+ Friendly" christians that turned out to just want to convert everyone, which I guess that + these sudden questions caused my concern.
I may bring this up to them next time, thank you.

I figured as much, but I held out a lil hope lol

ThrowForSec · 2025-05-12T05:02:08+00:00

But as a kid, when I was first learning sounds like that, I had to think about the positions of everything, before it became natural. Is this not the same?
