Oh! I'm sorry for not explaining; I suppose you're pretty new to this world and the options it gives for transgender folks like you. It's true, hormones can't make your voice higher. But there's a series of guided vocal exercises that are designed specifically to help women like you sound more conventionally feminine!

The downside is that it takes a while, and a lot of effort. And in order to improve, you need to listen to your own voice. Which, ironically, might make you feel worse. Transition is something that's personal to you, and there's no singular right way to do it. Still, please keep it in mind.

Where might I find these exercises? What library must I venture to in search of this new skill?

Even should the cost be great, I have time unlimited and am well accustomed to the particular pain of this existence. I can cast illusions of my sister's voice if I really must, but such is difficult in daily speech and reservèd I keep that skill for the guidance of Undead through a programmed image. To achieve a similar sound without magic seemeth unthinkable, yet this world is filled with wonders. I am here to learn all that I can, and this shall be no different.

#pokeblog rp #pokeblogging #pokemon irl #rotomblr #ooc: trans voice training is SO hard and you're absolutely right that I can't fucking listen to my own voice even after doing it #ooc: it never sounds right no matter how much my voice coach told me she thought I sounded like a cis woman #ooc: I also learned that the slight speech impediment my parents put me in speech therapy for in elementary school never actually went away #ooc: which makes it vastly harder still to listen to recordings of myself because it sounds wrong regardless of the genderedness #ooc: I've been incomprehensible to everyone for decades and nobody bothered to tell me #ooc: the real problem is that it's not possible to share the qualia of a cis woman hearing her own voice as she speaks #ooc: like with the bone conduction to the ears and everything #ooc: there's no way to give someone else the knowledge of what it feels like from the inside; to know if I'm replicating it or not #ooc: I hope Gwyndolin can push through it all because I'd rather just use magic to overlay a cis voice while pretending to speak
