Thank you, Dena. I apologize for my incredibly tardy reply, but things have become hectic with my plans and preparations since I last posted. I actually found some inexpensive software and I've been working with that. Everyone, including my friends, my husband, and my counselor, have told me my voice sounds feminine now. I haven't been called "sir" in several months, so I guess the lessons are working. I feel a lot more comfortable with myself now.
