Voice Transitioning - Great Advice
judithlynn:
Hi Girls;
I just listened to a great You Tube session by Paula Nolan being interviewed by Suddenly Samantha on the TransIRL . Well worth watching this session about practicing and finding your female voice. Its a great resource:
Another great Video on transIRL is the talk by three Significant Others talking about how their partners transitioned and how they supported then through that process.
Best JudithLynn

Thank you, Judithlynn, I really liked this video. It made me feel like I am not the only one going through these stages of doubt.

I don't have most of the problems of a low voice, because my natural voice has a rather high pitch. I just had to de-learn the male style of speaking. I am only hanging out with females, and it a little easier this way t pick up their style of speaking.
However, I have an unusual pitfall. Whenever I speak into the telephone, I do this with a male kind of voice, I am always gendered Mr or Sir when on the phone. I can talk the entire day like a woman, no problems, and I pick that stupid phone up and switch to a guys voice. I must have a phone related brain defect or something like this! >:(

I have similar issues but not just with phones. I can be pretty good when practicing home alone but when I really need to use my "new" voice I just can't seem use it. Last time that happened, it was literally 10 minutes after practicing at home and my voice wasn't tired, I was just mentally blocked from using it face to face with real people.
