Hi guys, I filmed what you could call the first draft to my coming out video today.
I have decided I want to post a simple, short video online to my social media with some accompanying words to let everyone in my life know about the upcoming changes. I decided on a video because I want it to be more personal.
I know my voice isn't passable as female, but it's just my normal talking voice lol.



The video is unlisted atm so only those with the link can see it! (you guys!)

What do you think?

I wish you the best. You are a very beautiful girl. Any one that would not want to remain your friend after coming out would not be someone I would like as a friend. Be happy, stay wonderful!
Hugs,
Heather

Thankyou x

Wow! You are just so beautiful! You should have no problems presenting in life as female, I can't see a guy anywhere. Even your voice has some nice inflection in it. I wish you all the best for your future.

Thankyou so much! That really made my night

I agree, you look great! You probably don't even have to polish it that much- you state everything quite clearly and explain where you're at. One teeny thing to add is maybe that you're aware there will be a range of responses from your friends etc, but for those who can't deal with it you''ll miss them, and for those that can you appreciate their understanding.  Puts you in control of the outcome to a degree.

Congrats on taking the plunge girl, don't lose heart, and let us all know how it goes. We gotcha back

And I really like that idea, I will definitely add that x

Hi,
I wish you all the best and remember true good friends accept you for who you are not what you are

Thankyou Alice

Beautiful! Your eyes are amazing! It takes a lot of courage to do what you are doing. I agree with what has been previously stated. It seems to me that the  'friends' that do not accept you don't really know the real you! I know that my friends responded with 'you are still you' and 'you are still the same person', meaning that gender is just a physical presentation. All the Best as you move along your path. I sure wish I had your bone structure!

By the way, i don't know much about like voice terminology, what do you mean by inflection?

That was great, so brave, well done, I don't know how you do it, I'm still trapped.
You look fantastic, and your voice Is nice, It is well workable.
Goodluck for your coming out

Thankyou Christine!
I'm still yet to take the plunge!
Hopefully sooner rather than later we will both be in the position we want to be <3 Goodluck to you too!

I hope so, thank you again, your video is actually encouraging too, maybe...
My family are real old fashioned though :/

I feel for you! I feel like my parents will be accepting, my extended family.. I have no idea.
I've told myself i'm not going to worry about what they think - I love my family, but I don't depend on my extended family, if they don't accept it it's their loss.

I mean, yeah, you need to work on the pitch (it needs to be a bit higher) but the pronunciation of certain sounds, like the letter 's', and the gentle way you end sentences has definite feminine traits.
It wouldn't take too much work to get it passable.
Unlike my voice, which is deep, monotone, raspy and is really difficult to make passable.
Your hair is very nice too.

Confetti you are absolutely gorgeous. I mean really gorgeous. You're what I want to look like when I grow up. Well I guess when I'm reincarnated.  Inflections are  the nuances of your voice.
2.
the modulation of intonation or pitch in the voice.
"she spoke slowly and without inflection"
synonyms:   stress, cadence, rhythm, accent, intonation, pitch, emphasis, modulation, lilt, tone
"when I read my lines, he'd gently correct my pronunciation and inflection"

wow, thankyou! that really means a lot to me! i've always been really self conscious with my looks so doing a video was so scary!
