Yeson voice feminization surgery

[Ltl89]

I'm glad everything has worked out so well for you.  I must admit my earlier concerns on the surgery seem to be misplaced.  You sound great!  If I ever get the money and my voice continues to not improve at all, I may have to give this a shot. However, finding the money for it is a whole other thing.

Well it's not going to be fully recovered on that day, but recovered enough to have full conversation at will. Right now I'm keeping it to one word responses for the most part (using a lot of hand gestures) and occasionally saying a sentence here and there.

It won't be until July 10th that I am fully 100% recovered enough to yell and sing. But I've only 3 days left of limited conversation

In July we will be expecting a song from you lol

Aw thank you for saying that And I am sure you were not alone in your presumptions.

It is rather expensive, but definitely worth every penny, too.

Don't worry! I'll do some kind of singing thing once I get it back.. it's way too early to tell if my singing voice is going to sound good enough when I hit 2 months though. My guess is I will have to be doing my vocal program (which extends range and increases voice quality) for several months before singing really has any chance of sounding nice. But that's just an assumption! I can always hope it sounds amazing immediately So far I have been pleasantly surprised.

The comfortable range of my voice continues to climb as I learn my new "sweet spot". It's likely that the sweet spot itself is changing as the cords heal and re-tension.

Average pitch for test recordings today was around 230hz. It definitely looks like I'm going to end up way above the planned mark of 215hz. Getting really good reactions from people in real life, too. Everyone says that my voice sounds very natural, despite being a little hoarse / breathy at any volume over a 2ft voice.

Ok Jenny, we can wait on your singing    I am really happy for you, that you are having such great success with your voice.

[Jennygirl]

Today was the first time I could really talk as much as I wanted to. I've been slowly working up to this point, and my volume is coming back more and more now. I'm no longer having to get SO close to people for them to be able to hear me over background noise and my voice is becoming a lot clearer and way less breathy sounding. So, that is awesome!

I am finally experiencing a whole new aspect to transition that I have always been so jealous of other trans women. Unlike most girls who were able to start using their practiced voices around friends and in public, I just could not do it as hard as I tried.

Now, though, it's feeling so natural that I simply just get excited when it's time to use my voice. And out it comes. Life is great, even if I have to be kinda quiet about it

Also, I submitted a voice sample to Yeson reading the same passage as I did during my pre-op. They might be uploading it to their youtube account as an example of 1 month post op voice results. I told Jessie I would be honored!

We are all so pleased for you Jenny! Freddie Mercury "Queen" sang "We are the champions my friend!" You can sing it now Jennygirl!

I'm definitely looking forward to hearing your results, Jenny. With the voice over and done with, you've pretty much passed into the promised land of passing. And it's a wonderful place.

I'm currently practicing to hit 230hz in standard speech (where my base is 215-220) -
So I think I know what you're experiencing as far as the actual sounds are concerned. I'm also curious how your voice sounds in recording (say, web-recording software) - I really hope the oddities in my own recordings are just recording issues. If everyone sounds that way it's be really encouraging.

I'm kind of curious - is this entirely new territory for you? Can you even access the old lower pitch range?

That's great news.  I can't wait to hear it.

Happy to hear you have your voice back 24/7 now And I can't wait to hear your voice

[Jennygirl]

Spent nearly the whole day with MaidofOrleans (which was fabulous might I add!!), and not once did my voice give out.

It certainly got a little dry at times, but it is getting soooo much stronger. I am a very happy Jenny.

Here is the recording I submitted to Yeson yesterday. If/when they give me the before clip from my pre-op reading the same passage, I'll post that too

Outstanding Jenny!

[Jennygirl]

Is it acceptable to reach for the ceiling and say "Yesssss!!" when reading these comments of approval?! Because I can't help but not! Lol!

Thank you everyone

You've made a happy Jenny even happier!

Apparently Yeson will have the pre/post op before/after posted by next week if you are curious to hear what my voice sounded like before.

[Jennygirl]

Outstanding Jenny!

Lol... thanks for the voice note Jamie
