Title: Breaking Voice
Post by: xander on June 24, 2013, 02:44:45 AM
So I'm almost 2 years on t and my voice is still breaking. It's pretty embarrassing and it makes it really hard to shout (which I need to be able to when I ref). It also happens randomly when I'm talking.

Is/has anyone else still experienced this around the 2 year mark as well?

I'm 18 months and mine still cracks all the time, mid-sentence.  It's pretty funny.

I agree, it is pretty funny - just not so much in a professional situation.

Well, at least I'm not alone!

This is pretty normal in cisguys going through puberty too... it can take around 3 years or so for their voices to settle. So it's annoying, but perfectly normal.

I'm 4 months and my voice goes all over the place, not so much cracking. It's normal for even cis guys in their 20s actually. I know of a guy, quite a well-known singer. His singing voice is beautiful (a nice tenor) but his speaking voice esp when he gets excited really squeaks. Everyone loves him so no one cares.
