Lowering voice just a little?

Is there a way to lower the voice a bit? Like less T? I'd like my voice to be in an andro high male range rather than dropping to a baritone.

Thanks Pao

With T you pretty well get what your genetics say you will get. An additional complication is many males voice will break at some point and the only way to get rid of the break is to continue until the voice is fully developed. Without T I can teach you how to lower your voice however there is again a physical limit as to how low it will go. When you make the decision to take T, you have to be willing to accept all the changes it will bring. If you  aren't ready for that, you should carefully rethink your decision to take T. Many MTFs have to do some pretty extensive things to overcome the years of damage that T has done and we have a section just to deal with voice therapy and surgery. For example, even with therapy, I  was unable to hit your desired andro range. I needed to risk voice surgery  to put my voice in the feminine range.

Thanks for the in put. I would be happy with a deeper voice. I was just wondering if there is any control. I have one older brother I can barely understand  due to how deep his voice is.

T is s strong hormone and will do whatever it wants. In my experience it took 6 months for my voice to sound male and to stop breaking or going up and down. But that also came with other permanent changes such as clit growth and body hair which you may not want.

And there's no gurantee your voice will sound as deep as you want it too. It may start sounding like a fem male voice either due to genetics or inflections in speech or a mix of both.
They/them pronouns preferred.

Considering MTF can do voice training to heighten their naturally deeper voice, you should be able to gain some control of yours. But you can't control what T does to the vocal cords. Messing with the dose to attempt to isn't recommended.

Thanks for the tips. I am actually really excited about the other effects like hair growth and Enlargement. and I am ok with a deep voice, I will just have to work on enunciation, which I am sure my brother has never done.

Something cis guys tend to do around puberty is intentionally speak at their lowest voice. Its a self-conscious thing, they either want to show off or fit in to/with other guys by having a deep voice or they try to avoid awkward voice cracks by keeping their voice down. This can effect their pronunciation by focusing so much on their pitch that they don't realize they're limiting their tongue and pallet movements. Sometimes it sticks and guys just keep talking like that.

There was one guy I went to school with and even past puberty and a very deep voice it sounded like he was intentionally trying to speak low because there was no inflection in his voice and hardly any tongue movement. It basically sounded like he was mumbling at all times. However, there are plenty of deep voiced guys who are extremely vocal and audible.
