I had to share this... Some of you will no doubt find the humor in what
happened to me Friday.
I have been working over the past few months on finding my femme voice.
Whenever I think of it, I'll try talking and bringing my voice up a touch
and finding that resonance that all women have. I know that I will never
truly sound female, rather I am striving to sound less male.
While driving down the road on Friday en femme I decided to give it another
try. I started by talking a bit which kind of works. I have never been able
to hold a higher pitch for more than a few minutes, and never with any
volume. I had the radio on an a song came on that I knew. I started singing
along (something that guys never do, but all women do BTW). I should point
out that I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket... As I was singing along with
the song, I noticed that my volume had come up a bit and I was maintaining a
much more feminine sound. I kept singing and singing, getting louder &
louder and my voice wasn't breaking up at all. Before I knew it, a couple of
songs later I was singing very loud and higher in pitch, and I had that
resonance I have been looking for - and I sounded pretty good singing too! I
was extremely happy. I decided to bring my voice back down to normal so I
could compare the 2 voices. This is when I had one of those oh &*($ moments.
I couldn't bring my voice down to my normal pitch.. I was stuck! (BTW: my
adams apple is fairly prominent - but at this moment it was barely
noticeable.) I have read an account by another TG who wrote of something
similar happening to them. I couldn't believe it, it had happened to me too!
I called CuteLouise and had to talk about it. She could kind of notice the
difference but not really. I then called my wife. Immediately she noticed
the difference in my voice. Her reaction was the best I could have hoped
for. "Very cool!" She said I definitely sounded less male than normal and
thought I could pass more easily like this. I was ecstatic. She laughed when
I told her I couldn't bring my voice back down to normal. We talked for
about 20 minutes or so on the phone and I noticed that my voice ws slowly
coming back down to normal. All in all it took about 45 minutes for me to
get back to my male voice. Now I just have to figure out what I did to get
there (I know what has to happen, it's a matter of working those muscles the
right way again). I am so excited that I was able to do that...

Something guys never do?
Now that's not entirely true!
It's cool you found that voice.
