I started T like 10 days ago idk?
My voice has four new low notes (four semitones that is) so my lowest note currently is an A two below middle C.
Is it normal to get new low notes that quickly? My singing teacher noticed because we had to put all my songs into a different key, she says I am most definately a tenor.
Is it normal for your voice to start to change that quickly because I'd aquired new low notes in the first week? When did your voice start changing? What low notes do you have? How much of a shift was there, did you end up a full octave below what you had originally or?

My voice changing was the first thing I noticed, and it happened within the first week. It was a very minor drop, but it was noticeable to the ear and it felt different.

My voice dropped a bit within two weeks.  Not enough that your average person could tell when I talked, but enough that I couldn't sing quite as high as I used to and enough that I could feel it.  I think it's pretty normal.  It didn't make big, major drops until about three months, though.  I can't tell you what notes it was because I don't understand music at all.

I noticed my voice dropping during the first 2 weeks. Wasn't enough to be noticeable to anyone but me.
They/them pronouns preferred.

Me too. I can definitely tell and my voice is scratchy, too, like I have laryngitis but nobody else notices a thing!

I got my first shot two days ago and I already can't hit some high notes I used to be able to. My voice itself is barely different though, it just sounds more masculine (barely) without sounding forced but still high pitched.

I am 1 month on T, I think. Like two weeks in I had a change but now I have another one. My voice easily reaches F now, I think I basically have a baritone range now, this is exciting.

I've been on a low dose for a month and a half now, my shot is only every two weeks but my voice has already dropped considerably. I'm not sure what notes I could hit musically but my girlfriend is a musician so I'll ask her. It'll be fun to find out what my range is.

Baritone range, eh? You lucky bastard you.

My wife would love it if my voice went that low but we aren't particularly low voiced people in my family.

My voice started changing within days of my shot. It was very subtle. At first I thought it was from the cold I had, but a) my voice had never sounded like that from a cold before and b) it stuck around after I got better.
It's been a very gradual lowering. After a couple months, I'd have never noticed if I wasn't keeping track.

My voice has gone a bit lower than an octave from my starting point. Singing, Pre-T, I was mostly G3-D5 in range. I'm now E2-F~A3 in usable range. If I sing a bit everyday, I can get a solid D2. Falsetto I'm G3-B4 (again, usable singing range). I have a lot of trouble with my head voice so my upper range is iffy atm.
All that said, I'm having a lot of issues with my voice overall, so that might affect my range. Hoping to see a speech therapist soon... just waiting for an opening now...

I like hearing about everyone else's voices it is interesting.
I always had a very deep voice for a female bodied person, I sang with the tenors even when I was pre T (but I was just a very low alto). I have a cold rn so I've lost my Bari notes (well, I lost the F I still have a G) temporarily but I am pretty damn sure I will get them back after the the cold has gone and that my voice will probably continue to drop a bit more. I heard loads of people say that T causes a voice drop of about an octave generally and I'm not too sure how accurate that is because aside from you I've never seen anyone who has backed this up with any proof. If my voice drops an octave in total then I will have an insanely deep voice and I will have bass notes which is an exciting thought but i think it sounds unrealistic but if my voice does drop that much at least I will have documented it for other guys to know.
With the lower voice I am very excited for when it starts sounding like a grownup's voice not a 13 year old's tbh.

My voice started to drop 6 days after my first injection. I was at a theme park screaming on a coaster when it seemed to drop a few notes mid-scream. The rest of the day I sounded like I had a cold and it never went back up afterwards. It lowered a little bit every week for the first 6 months or so. I really wish I was better about recording the change but I was pretty lazy when it came to YouTube.

I just recorded them on my phone so I'd have them for myself--way easier to do than YouTube stuff and you can just click em open whenever you want to.  When I listen to the old recordings I am honest to God shocked that my voice was ever so high.  I have just gotten used to having a lower voice, and it seems crazy to think it was ever SO high!
