So I came up with this idea when I saw the "Does My Voice Pass?" thread and thought it might be cool if us transmasculine guys had a place where we could see how old we'd sound on the phone, or if our voice matches about how old we've been told we look on the "Do I Pass?" topic. So how about we post short voice recordings and let people see what they think? Pre-T and peri-T both welcome!

I'll post one in a bit, when I'm on my computer and not my phone.  Also if anyone has any good suggestions for sites to use for uploading and linking their audio clips, that'd be most welcome!

Well, I just googled "uplaoding sounds" and besides "soundcloud" (with registration-stuff) I found that webservice called "Vocaroo" which seems to work really fast.
Anyway that's the result http://vocaroo.com/i/s0VFk0Tkw4H0

Honestly, my voice doesn't sound like that 99% of the time... don't know what's going on today, but as I said in the record, I'm going to upload a second "more realistic" one some other day. At least that today's "accident" makes the age-sounding-question quite interesting

I'd guess Shinigami is somewhere around late teens / early 20's?

Haha I'm terrible at guessing ages.

Haha, that's horrifically right - I'm turning 21 in a few weeks!

Great results, Shinigami! I'd say late-teens or early adult, somewhere around 17-20, if I had to put my money on it.

I agree I'd say early 20's, definitely a passing voice.

I honestly only heard my voice once since I started T (almost two years) I hated the sound of my voice before my transition and I figured I'd hate it after haha. I'll have to check that out.

I would also say you sound like you're in your early to mid 20s. Maybe it's just your accent but I think you sound a little like Daniel Radcliffe.

I thought the same thing, but I was afraid to say so 'cause I didn't want to create this "Pfft all Americans think we sound like Harry Potter" thing.

I was worried about that too but I think it's also the intonation of his voice that made me think that, not just the accent so I decided to just go ahead and say it lol.

My voice is usually the thing that prevents me from passing.  Here is a video of me doing stand up comedy (they call me "she" in this video  )

Rated R for language and violence!

Too bad they misgendered you before going up on stage, that would have taken the wind out of my sails. Blindfolded I'd say you were around 14-16. Are you pre-T? Because if so, you're going to do great on it, both appearance-wise and vocally.

I'm 19 and pre-T.

Great idea!

Here is my voice recording: http://vocaroo.com/i/s00ZUnZgfOyG

Like 4736251, my voice is a somewhat irritating barrier when it comes to passing or being gendered correctly. If I'm nervous (more nervous than in the recording), I generally talk in a higher pitch which is counter productive to my desire to be spoken to/about using masculine pronouns.

Hmm I'd say around the same range as 4736251, 14-16. It's pretty hard, pre-T and in the early stages of T, to pass as much older than that, since that's about when the voice drops start coming in, if not a little sooner in some guys (if I remember, anyways). I'd like to get other people's input on your voices, though, so I'm not the only one making a guess. 

This is from a video I recorded outside two days ago:

Appearance wise I always look really young but I don't know about my voice. (Sorry it's really quite).

Venom, I think your voice passes for a 12 year old boy. I don't think your voice is feminine, I just think it sounds like it could go either way at the moment

Dark wolf, it sounded like you were in a nice rainforest haha its a little hard to hear your voice properly but i'd probably say you sound around 12 aswell

Yeah Dark Wolf your voice was a bit tough to hear but I pretty much agree with Harlee, 12-13, 14 at the most.

Here's the voice recording I've been putting off (things just kept getting in the way!), let me know what you think:

Andrew, I'd say late teenage to early adult but either way you sound good

Here's mine http://vocaroo.com/i/s1GpmwfwxQpS

Dude your voice is plenty deep, I wouldn't doubt ya for a second. You sound like a certain actor, but I can't place a name to the voice... I'll let you know if it comes to me! I'd say you could pass for early-ish adult (20-30s). It's hard once you get into the adult-sounding range, since everyone's voice ages over time, and it's hard to say how much it's aged (unless you're clearly an older fellow).

Awesome! I'm 24 and sometimes feel like guys my age have way deeper voices than me, Idk if it's just hearing it in my head that makes it sound different
