Well, last night I had one of the older women in my play spontaneously tell me how great of a complexion I had, which really surprised me because I'm among some very beautiful GGs. I'm sure it will be a while before I really have the self confidence to believe that my looks could actually be comparable to some of the GGs; particularly because I've never had any kind of facial surgery from when I passed 100% as a guy and I see so many other TS women here who have had a bit of FFS, who I think look stunning. It's just that having people who think I'm a GG tell me that my looks are beautiful (when I'm still seeing some male remnants) is truly not something I thought I would ever have happen.
Also, I had another woman tell me how good she thought I sang my solo, which I had to sing quite loud. IMO when I sing loud, I can hear so much of my old voice that I hear it as male. However, nobody seemed to bat an eye and just heard it as a female singing.
The director even thought I sounded good. I really thought I sounded bad too (other than hitting the right notes and my timing), but she was definitely impressed, so this compliment felt really good.
I just hope this means I'll be able to keep going forward with acting and get some bigger roles. I am putting as much as I can into my current role that I have now. I've already learned so much and have gained a LOT of self confidence and an acting resume in my new name as well.
