Okay, I've either driven you away or lured you in. I am wondering something. For those of you who have been on T awhile, do you keep wishing that your voice will drop and drop and drop?
After being on a full dose of T for well over a year--almost a year and a half--I went into baritone range this year. I was pretty bloody excited, but disappointed that I lost more range than I gained. Still, the important thing was that my voice was still dropping. A couple of months later I picked up some more lower range. This shift was noticeable, so I was excited about that.
About two weeks ago, I started getting the familiar tickle and frogginess, and I picked up just a wee bit of resonance. It happened again this week. Only a practiced ear can pick up on it; I mostly feel the vibration rather than hear the shift. But it went down. Just a wee bit. Today I'm thinking, "Is that all? Just a little more? Please?"
I think my vocal changes are reaching the end. I think I won't be going any deeper except, perhaps, for the occasional slight shift in resonance.
Still I want more. I feel a little guilty; some guys, like Loren Cameron, sound like Mickey Mouse after years and years on T. Other guys have tenors and would kill for a baritone. When I first started out, I never expected anything deeper than a tenor, and I was pretty happy with it at first. Now I just want more than I've got. I don't know why. Anyone else feel the same way?
