I’ve never made an edit before but the way the fandom treats yamato inspired so much rage in me it got me to try out a new hobby

Almost one month until I start testosterone!

It's also that time of year when directors start sending out their contracts and letters of availability to musicians like myself, and I've had to start coming out to all of them in response. So far, I've gotten nothing but support from everyone and it genuinely makes me so grateful.

The general message I've been sending to them has been as follows:

"As part of my transition, I have decided to undergo hormone replacement therapy, and will be taking testosterone starting May 28th of this year. One of the effects of testosterone (as I'm sure you are aware) is on the voice. Its effects are the same as young men undergoing puberty, so my voice will most likely deepen over time into that of a phenotypically "masculine" voice. This is a decision I do not make lightly, and have come to after many years of consideration. I will be taking regular lessons with Dr. (DM me if you're looking for resources) who specializes in transgender voices as I undergo these changes. My goal is to continue singing at the highest level regardless of how my voice changes, but where it will most comfortably settle and how long that will take is up to genetics and fate. By next year, I may be able to sing tenor or baritone, though I intend to train my upper register to sing countertenor if possible."

Then I thank them and let them know that I'd like to re-audition for their ensembles when my voice has settled more. They've all responded positively and with excitement for me, and the chorusmaster for my city's opera company even said there would be no need, as she knows the work of the professor I'm taking lessons with and thinks I would benefit from being on stage this season(!!!!)

In other news, the symphony I do admin for had their soprano soloist drop out of the Mozart Requiem so guess who's learning the part and performing it in two weeks? Your boy!! It feels a bit kismet. What better way to honor the end of my soprano career than with a requiem?

I'm still nervous to all hell but I'm just so tired of living like this. I just feel like this decision is going to change everything for the better for me.

Hey my husband (a he/they) told me “he/theys are into teeth stuff” while listening to my upcoming album, “Ganymede Gives Up The Ghost”. I know my audience has a lot of he/theys so could y’all please answer this and reblog it for a good sample size please

~1 month on Testosterone:

Findings:

I have ambient tension in my larynx throughout the day. It’s not bad, I’m just more aware of the inner front of my throat than usual. I presume these are growing pains, but I will talk to my teacher and doctor about it this week. In the meantime I’m trying to hydrate and stretch my neck muscles. Everyone has now confirmed that my speaking voice sits lower. I’m not as worried about it as I thought I would be.

So far, I have lost only about a third on the top, which is not as dire as I thought it would be by this time. Expecting to lose more in the coming days.

I have also gained about a half step on the bottom! Hoping to gain more in the coming days!

Most interestingly, the break between my head and chest voice remains in the exact same place (albeit MUCH harder to control. I am working HARD to maintain flexibility, especially descending/switching from head to chest) while about one fifth of what used to be the top of my head voice is now all whistle tone. It’s all still there, just in a completely different register.

My entire range has gotten heavier/louder.

Fatigue sets in a lot earlier than it used to, but it varies from day to day, I think depending on how much I used it the previous day. Three days ago I could only sing for about 10 minutes. Two days ago I could sing for over an hour just fine (church gigs). Yesterday I could barely sing at all :( and today I went a solid 30 minutes.

More data to come!
