Indi's New Voice Rambles
Had a ton of fun figuring out my new vocal range. o.o~ I'm WAY deeper than I though. E^E Over 6 months on T and I'm apparently comfortably singing at a bass tone!
HOLY CRAP.
My previous voice as a woman was like... mezzo-soprano or alto. I could sing along to most of Michael Jackson's voice in the songs. And match pretty most men in their songs as well.
I'm finding out now that most singers are tenors or sopranos, which sucks finding a song I can actually match with my new voice!
BUT. I did a vocal range exercise and found out I can sing the lowest note they can set before me and feel a comfortable relaxing sensation, like what happens right after you stretch a muscle that needed a good stretching. Like I rarely get a chance to get that low and it's now like "ahhhh~" to do so.
I'm relearning a lot of vocal tricks now. I can't go *higher* for more emphasis anymore. I have to go *deeper* to do so and gods I actually like the ~feel~ of hearing my deeper voice when I give that emphasis. Very... resonant. :D <3
People never say how singing real low with a bass voice feels like you have a vibrator in your chest. e.e~ I can tell if I go real low by how much vibration I have going around in my chest and even a bit of my abdomen too!
Now I have to do like a reverse-mirror of the singers I sing along to. If they go higher for emphasis, I must go lower. If they go deeper to have something "go more in the background" or with less emphasis, then I go higher. It's... strange. I'm having to relearn a shit ton tonight.
Maybe if I do this enough, and relearn how to laugh, chuckle, giggle, and even speak normally, then I can really use my new voice to full effect?
I found my tessitura (comfortable range) is from middle C (C4) to second E (E2). I'm not joking! E>O~ I can force it higher past C4 to B4 but if I try to get beyond that, my voice literally cuts out and no sound comes out. -x- Darnit.
My days of "matching" people singing is over. But at least I can get more comfortable with my wicked low vibrator voice. :D ...I actually now enjoy listening to myself sing along to people and start to prefer my voice over theirs. :3 <3
Still getting there at speaking lower for my "thank you" and stuff like that. X>X I try and my human woman programming goes "AAAAAAAAH!??!?!?!?!?" and I am immediately c o n f l i c i t e d . We have a ways to go I see. X>X;;; Ahahah...
Fun of a deeper voice on T. :D
