Title: 8 Weeks video update - Voice and hair!
Post by: Banf on December 29, 2010, 08:46:57 AM
Hey guys,
Thought I'd post a quick update on some of my changes so far! :)

I'd love some feedback on how I come across to you guys.
I've been ID'd once since I sent off for my new driving license 7 weeks ago, which is kinda strange 'cause I almost always got ID'd beforehand. Now I dunno whether that means my voice is passing more as an older guy, or if they're just seeing me as a woman!
On sight alone I generally pass but people rarely give clues as to what gender they see me as while speaking to me. :P

8 Weeks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Li94QsE2U#)
You can hear my voice pre-T (pretty much) in my other video.

Facial fuzz now. I need a shave :o

And this was pre-T:

Wow!  That didn't take long!  What a drastic voice change in only 2 months!  Love your accent by the way. :)  You look great too, although you looked pretty passable in the older video too, there are some noticeable differences.  I can't imagine anyone's reading you as female now, and I don't know what age they'd be ID'ing for where you are, but I'd say you look college age easily, like 20-23ish.

You sound terrific. It could be that you were getting carded because you looked like a guy but sounded like a young boy...or confidence might have something to do with it.

Whatever the reason, congrats! Looking good!

That's a big voice change in just 8 weeks!  I agree that you already looked pretty passable in your first video, but you look even better now!  I also love your accent, and your eyebrows are awesome. :D

Wow, thanks guys! Well I really hope you're right and the lack of ID'ing is because I'm passing better. ^_^

Aw man that's great to hear, thanks! And I am 23. :D

I called a friend last night who I hadn't spoken to in.. 6 days, she said it took her a moment to realise it was me on the phone. My voice does seem to have dropped significantly just this last week!
I went for dinner with the family on Boxing day and we realised I actually sound really similar to my 16 year old step-brother now! My 18 year old brother still has a much deeper voice, though I've been mistaken for him briefly on the phone recently. ;D

You look like and sound like a sweet sensitive British boy to me.  I wouldn't think any differently at all if I meant you. 

Lucky you on the facial hair!  I have some but it's all still blonde / clear.

You look and sound really good.  It's surprising how quickly your voice is dropping.
Sweet accent, by the way.

Nice voice. Great hair cut. Glasses are a great. Posture is good. Like the clothes.

Remember last February when I commented in the passing thread? That was someone else. (that person, not me, I'm the same jerk I always was  ;D).
