so... HRT definitely changes your voice a lot. when i was a kid i was a mezzo-soprano, and i was really proud of my voice. i hated the sound of it in recording, but i loved my technical skill and the things i was capable of doing with it.
anyways, my voice is very important to me. so i spent a lot of time singing to myself in audacity--usually copies of the arrangements we did in choir. naturally, when i transitioned i kept up that habit.
so i want to show you all a little comparison!
volume warning on this one -- i was literally singing full belt at my computer. it's loud!
now here's the exact same arrangement, sung by me as an adult, 2 years on testosterone :) (significantly quieter lol)
i think i'm finally both happy with where my voice is and also confident in my skill with it. it's super exciting!
trans care saves lives!
