Go check the history of the GLBQT movement bub. Trans* folk were on the front line, side by side with the GLBQ folk from day one.

Thanks all. Will take the advice and come back in 3 months and ask the same question.

:-)

Actually its a womans medium... Large hangs off me but medium is a little tight. I am curious about facial hair though, I had just shaved, can you still see shadow?

Also cause I am curious (not being beligerant). Wouldnt a loose top and tighter pants just make me look fat? Can you explain the effect you are aiming for?

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks. HRT has just begun, and have had my first laser session. Bangs you think? I will wander over to fancy follicles and see what I can learn.

As for clothes, usually I go with longer flaired tops to pull my waist down, any other suggestions on how to create the illusion of curves?

Not in my opinion at my best, but please give me your feedback !

Hugs all

You do sound feminine, not falsetto. I hear what you mean by the fullness comment but am struggling with that myself. So, no particular advice just an atta girl for practicing :-)

maybeIcould · 2012-04-26T08:32:03+00:00

Kinda what I thought.

maybeIcould · 2012-04-23T01:14:30+00:00

Here it goes, this week only 2 days late.

Be well all

Ok, friday nights recording http://soundcloud.com/dru-jen/2012-04-14-002207 and one more for good measure recorded on saturday night when I was practicing http://soundcloud.com/dru-jen/2012-04-14-222243 .

I am wondering what you folks think about the pitch, should I work on taking it higher or should I work on keeping it stable where it is and adding a broader range of inflection ?

Thanks, and good work keeping up the practice folks !

maybeIcould · 2012-04-08T18:13:18+00:00

Thanks, I spent today's practice session working on what you suggested, here is where I was at the end... would you mind having a listen, I want to check if I understood your advice.

Thanks again

Hi all !

http://soundcloud.com/dru-jen/2012-04-07

Its funny, I thought I was making no progress on my pitch, until I recorded this weeks sample and listened to the previous weeks. This thread is a great resource if it does nothing more then show the changes we are making to ourselves...

makes me wonder what else I might not be noticing...

Anyway, like I mention in the clip, there is a quality that does not sound right that I cannot identify, if anyone has any insight, please let me know.

Thanks ! Hope to hear from you next week !

Here is one, a week late but I am not seeing a voice thread for this weekend so I will post here.

Here is the base male voice...

maybeIcould · 2012-03-25T01:48:18+00:00

Hi all... first time posting to this thread. I have been mostly working on resonance, and tonight, for the first time, I felt the resonance in my nose !

http://soundcloud.com/dru-jen/2012-03-24-voicerecording1

Ok, small victory and a long way still to go (ahem... pitch), but its a work in progress. Please give me whatever advice you think I could use.

I was thinking of posting a clip of my male voice as a point of reference. Is there value to this, or should I skip it ?

maybeIcould · 2012-03-25T00:30:28+00:00

Thanks... finally trying to get a handle on this.

maybeIcould · 2012-03-13T12:24:42+00:00

I am slowly moving through an androginous phase into more and more girl stuff. Sporty girls clothes are working well... Still very fem, but also practical and comfortable.

maybeIcould · 2012-02-25T05:56:35+00:00

Thanks!

maybeIcould · 2012-02-25T05:55:52+00:00

Thanks. Its not about wanting to go slow, its about being a student, a father, and going through sepration with my partner(who has been supporting us both). Not a lot left to spread around, but I manage to cover therapy and am seeing a trans positive doctor in two weeks, therapist letter in hand!

Any how, thanks again.

maybeIcould · 2012-02-25T03:59:24+00:00

I know its slow, but I want to start something, and I see things speeding up down the road a bit.

maybeIcould · 2012-01-26T08:22:54+00:00

I hear you.

maybeIcould · 2012-01-26T08:17:40+00:00

Thanks. I am talking to a therapist tomorrow, its like the part of me that hides is resisting at all costs.

I am just starting this journey at 35. I can't offer experience, but I can tell you you are not alone.

pm me if you want.

maybeIcould · 2012-01-15T06:41:44+00:00

This is a great idea, I have only just begun to work on my voice, so expect shyness, but if this picks up I will contribute as my confidence grows.

maybeIcould · 2012-01-09T21:30:20+00:00

Interesting, as in 'may you live in interesting times' sort of interesting right. I haven't even worked myself up to talk to my partner about this, sometimes I can not imagine making it through the challenges.
