The 'How Old Do I Sound?' Thread

[Daydreamer]

It's a little hard to tell with your mic, but I'd put you at about 16ish.

The joys of mic problems, but I'm 21. I always get read for being way younger than I am, so it's okay.

Late teens, early twenties. 

I would but I'm horrible naming ones that aren't Swedish, Spanish (from Spain), or from AU or the UK. It'd just depend on where you're from.

very good, I'd say mid-20's.

i'm 19, turning 20 next month

Niice, I would have placed you around your mid 20s as well.

I am aware that I wasn't gifted with the luxioursly deep voice I had hoped for.. at almost a year on T I think I'm just gonna have to learn to be happy with what I got haha. I just wish I didn't sound as old as I look, its not helping me any.

I would peg you as mid to early 20s. You actually have a pretty good voice, similar to some cis guys I've heard.

Early 20's

Well, here's my contribution!

I've been super self-conscious about doing something like this ever since I started T, and this is the first one I've done in over a year now. Just giving a heads up now that I'm sorry if the sound sucks or is loud, since the mic that's built into my laptop is fussy.

Hi everyone!  I'm currently 13 weeks on testosterone and I can tell by where my voice vibrates now that I have some bass in my voice now!  However, I still get called "Ma'am" on the phone and I have been extremely self-conscious about my voice.  Please tell me what you think.  How old do I sound and male or female?  Thanks!

You sound good to me William like a teenage boy. I was also self conscious about my voice too the first few months but it will get deeper and start cracking. I was also still getting called ma'am too back then. Don't worry buddy it will get better

I agree with RaptorChops, you sounds like a teenage boy.  I felt like that @ 3months on T too, sound deeper in my head than actually is, but when 4 months came and gone, my voice took a big drop.  So, don't let it bother you too much, because the voice will come.   

[William2473]

Thanks for the input guys.  I'm actually 42 yrs old!  LOL     I am so ready for it to be deeper!  My Dr. told me that people my age may not get a deeper voice because we've already developed and that has me afraid that I'll be stuck with a higher voice for the rest of my life no matter how long I'm on testosterone.  However, when you listen to my old voice mail message there is a big difference in my voice.  I also heard that the big drop in voice happens at 3 months and I'm at the 3 month mark so I'm afraid it won't happen.

i thought that it would happen at 3 months, but it's more so at 4-5 months. you have the initial dip at three, but 5 months onward is where it really deepens.

There's no set mark when your voice will drop or stay unchanged.
Like palexander said, after 5 months or so is usually when it starts becoming noticeable. My voice barely started cracking at about 3 months. I'm almost a year now and it's still (very subtly) getting a little deeper

i thought my voice would be done changing at 5 or 6 months, but i'm 9 months on t now and it's still dropping.
ultimately it's how your body reacts to t, can't really say for certain because no one is the same.

[William2473]

Thanks everyone for their input!  I kind of thought my Dr. didn't know what he was talking about.  I know testosterone thickens the vocal cords so it shouldn't matter how old you are if you were born female.  The vocal cords would be thin, so thickening would happen.  Maybe he's confused and was thinking about MTF.  Anyway, I had a personal message on here but it won't allow me to reply so I'm not ignoring you, tjack77, I  just can't send a personal message but I'm super excited to hear from someone close to my age and know that it is possible to have a deep voice at my age!

[Ryan55]

yeah your voice will continue to break and drop, just wont be as noticeable, just like cis guys that go through puberty

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1P1PKj9sryy

I'm a year on T and my voice I will sometimes catch breaking still, although not as bad when I was in the squeaky breaking phase lol

Its different for everyone, enjoy the second puberty ride  lol

I had this up for a friend to listen to on tumblr (she wanted to hear if Shakespeare sounded better in an english accent or an American one. Sorry it isn't vocaroo but I thought hey I've already been through the torture of recording my voice so whatever.) so idk does my voice pass? and if so, how old?

oh and y'all sound awesome!
