Out Shopping

Comment by LAINIE NELSON on September 14, 2011 at 2:55pm

I have never had a voice problem as far as I know of. But my voice is sort of in the middle range anyway. I match Anne Murray in range. However, my mom was always called sir on the phone, and I do get that a lot. 

 

I deal with and speak with up to maybe a hundred people every day. The only person that read me was another transwoman.

I've been told my voice is more like an alto/base and kind of a husky female voice. I am careful how I enunciate and now no longer need to think about it. If I get rasphy I'll cough and say allergies acting up thus getting an understanding look rather than being outed. With more TG going out I think some people are becoming more accepting.

You may want to look into voice coaches. It helped me, although mine was never too bad, caoches can help with little thngs that we don't hear, but cause the pause, as you mentioned

Being out is a very reinforcing experience and helps one's confidence very much. You will learn to just take each step without any glitch or concern. I like you get out very often and do not feel like I have any problems. I feel that people I come in contact with see me as a GG. I am very fortunate with my size and voice also. Keep up your good work.
