The Singing Canadian :-), A full version of bubbly (with music)

[Keira]

Hello Guys, those who've followed my singing knows
I've struggled to make this song work.
Its right in my mid voice (between low and high range)
and thus is a problem place to sing,
especially since I'm not doing it in full voice (which would help).

There's added music, I even overlay myself in the final verses.

After hearing a song 50 times, its hard to correctly asses if it sounds male or female 
I'm just concentrating on not sounding too bad.

Of those that have listened to it.
Did any of you like it?
Hope at least one perdson did :-).

Yeah, I'm fishing for compliments or anything so sue me.

I like your voice Keira!

Sounds good, I'd say female or who-cares-androgynous. Nice version too, I like the overall flavor.
Were you a tenor before transition?

[Keira]

The middle of my range is ALTO.

Thanks for the compliments. Really need them these days :-).

I like your voice, I think you definitely sound female and you have the same tone, to my ears anyway, as Cher.  Actually if you impersonated her style (the accent and warbling), you would sound just like her.

The middle of my range is ALTO.

Thanks for the compliments. Really need them these days :-).

That's why I said "before transition" but oks. I'm just curious about from what kinds of voices we come and how it affects our speaking and singing voices. No offense meant.

[Keira]

No worries, didn't take it as an offense at all.

My voice was always very very high for a male.

Before one of my vocal cord got paralyzed, due to a virus at around 20-21
I actually had my range go from above soprano
to bass which amazed people. Now, my range's less than half that, but still pretty large.
Because of the partial paralysis it takes much more "ear" to keep in tune, especially
in the lower part of my range. My vocal cords don't close fully and go flailing
under low wind volume. That's why this song was a challenge is its not
at all belted and its not that high in range.

The middle of my range was always in the upper alto.

My voice is F0=240, analyzed with a spectrum analyze,
which is above the average female voice, though
its hoarse quality makes it sound a bit lower than it actually is.
