I’m not really a new year’s resolution type of person, but I certainly do want to work on my femme voice more.
Folks that know me know I’m an absolute ham anytime a microphone is near me; for reference, here’s an old Corpse Run strip of me being a silly guy. I didn’t used to be this way, but I kind of love getting in front of people and talking. It’s thrilling, it excites me in a way nothing else really does. It took a long time for me to overcome social anxiety and embrace the goofiness.
With that in mind you’d think I’d be just as excited to practice my feminine voice with people.
I don’t know why, but it’s really terrifying and embarrassing.
I like my regular voice. I really do. Sure, it isn’t gender affirming, but it’s something about me that I’ve worked on and have really come to enjoy and have fun with.
Sometimes for work and side projects I do amateur voice over. My voice is a part of me.
Of all the potential surgeries down the road, I’d never do anything to alter my voice. I never want to lose it.
I’m still going to work on my feminine voice in the meantime (and yes, I am actually just doing it when playing Overwatch at the moment), but in an ideal world I can still be a girl and have the voice that I’m most comfortable using.
