Hey guys, i decided to post this because its really bothering me and i dont know if it's normal. My voice lowered pretty fast, i think, so i was really happy but i only noticed now. Today I'm one month on t so i recorded my voice. But then i checked my 3 weeks on t voice and it was deeper than it is now. i really dont know if that's normal so that's why I'm here to see what you guys think.
Thank you :)
Welcome to Susan's Place. We have observed that the MTFs tend to pull their voice lower after voice surgery. That is why therapy is often required to train us in using the new voice. I suspect in your case, your ear is causing you to pull your voice back to the feminine range. As you still have a fair amount of upper range available, it's not difficult to do. As T continues you should cross over into the lower range and remain there. Should you wish to speed the process, speech therapy might help your ear learn the lower male range.

It could be variation in sound quality from your recording device. Give it more time. Three weeks is not enough to see significant results for most people. 3-6 months is when you should definitely be seeing significant results.
Could be bcos you were trying to make your voice sound deeper on the 3 weeks vid. From my experience my voice didn't stabilise until around 3 months on T when before it used to go up and down. On sime days I was pretty sure my voice sounded lower from how it had sounded the previous. But that may just be my paranoi or how I chose to talk on that particular day.
I was quite obsessive about how my voice was changing which isn't healthy. Try distracting yourself and stop making voice recordings until your voice starts to stabilise at least.
