Title: Got 'Sirred' tonight
Post by: FTMDiaries on February 12, 2013, 03:24:42 PM
So... I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself for the past two weeks because I have a cold. However, one wonderful side-effect of having a cold is that my voice drops by an octave or two. It sounds so much better. :)

So tonight I had to get petrol on the way home from work. When I went to pay, the conversation started like this:

Cashier: Good evening!
Me (gruffly): Hi! Pump no. 5 please.
Cashier: Certainly, Sir!

I haven't stopped smiling yet. Can I get a high-five? :)

*high five!*
Awesome bro! I've had a gruff cold voice for about a week, but I'm getting better now and it's reasons like this I'm kinda sad to feel better :)

That's awesome! I still get excited when I'm addressed as male.

*high five for you!*

Somehow when I'm confident that I can pass my voice settles in a lower, gruffer manner- when I'm less confident it makes me cringe endlessly. Though I'll take a cold over a high-pitched voice  :P

Thanks for the high-fives, everyone! :)

Last night showed me that I pass reasonably OK visually, but clearly my voice is the thing that causes me to get 'madamed'. Hopefully T will help with that. Heck, even if it only drops my voice by as much as a cold does, that'll be helpful. :)

<high five all around> That's awesome. I remember the first time I was sirred on the phone. Still have some issues on the phone but I probably do sound better a little gravelly.  :laugh:
