Why, why do you do this to me? I don't know if it's what you are referring to, but I am not looking up any more of your old posts. :lolGaborn said:

:lol I know exactly what you mean. Every time the gramma lurks around my room I get all paranoid. She knows, but she wigs hard whenever she catches me in that head-space. I don't get her. I mean, the fact that I'm TG and she knows and still lets me stay here freaks me out. 'Cause form everything I've read about the "religion" she shouldn't even be speaking to me let alone having me live here. This is also the same person who told me about a month ago that she wanted me out of her house ASAP. Then I get home tonight and she's practically begging me to stay for about 6 more months. Family is so annoying sometimes, gosh!
Also, had a cool little moment in the car on the way home. I tend to listen to female fronted symphonic metal, and tonight I was singing along trying to get in some voice practice and at one point I sounded really good. I just started smiling wide while singing and got the butterflies in my tummy and everything. Another simple reminder that I'm on the right track.

Thats cool <3 Singing is always fun! I love SingStar!
On the voice thing, if we had more people here, I think it'd be fun for all of us to record our best girly voices, upload them to somewhere private, and then see if we could figure out who is who.
And I'd love to do stuff like SingStar and whatnot, but god almighty I have a terrible singing voice.

It's kind of funny. I've been singing along to music for a while now in my girl voice, and I feel like it's actually gotten really good. However, it's still not that great if I'm just talking. It's harder for me to sustain, and I feel like I have to over-exaggerate feminine speech patterns. It's getting there though. Although this also reminds me that Tegan and Sara had concert in San Diego tonight, but I'm totally broke after paying for laser.
When it comes to the girl voice, I used to be able to hit a nice high range when I was in a band, but I haven't been singing seriously in over five years at this point. I'm just now getting back into it, but it's going to take me awhile to get back to where I was. Speaking wise, I've been looking at those lessons posted awhile back from the chick that made me say "Wow!" when she went into her guy voice again. Completely blew my mind. I'd like to be able to perfect my female voice so I can work on my audio podcasts again and make my characters' voices sound convincing.
I completely agree with the money thing. But I'd like a new job so I didn't have to work at night. That would be nice.
And no camming. Dooooooooooooooon't do it!

As for my voice: it's okay, I like where I can get it, but it needs to be a bit smoother, which is just a matter of working your voice up to areas males don't usually go and practicing that.
Alfarif: Don't worry, no way could I or would I cam. Gaborn and Android may attest to that fact.

How do you make sure that you don't sound silly trying to speak like a woman? I'm always concerned about that because you can't hear your own voice like other people do.
Well since I got a cat I found myself speaking more often higher and rather feminine (not much more though) because people tend to speak softer to cute things and she's practicaly the only living thing I speak to beside my parents and my therapist.

Lexi hit the nail on the head: record it. Even just using your cellphone will work.
Lexi: Take deep, deep breaths and try not to strangle anyone. You've gotta make that money!
Edit: I'd also like to add, and maybe this is the nerd in me, but I think it's cool if you talk in your guy voice, then mess with the pitch to see where you'd like your girl voice to go. That really is the nerd in me, but I think that would be pretty damn cool.
Haha, classic stuff. It takes awhile before you really "nail" it, but listen to GGs talk a lot. In reality, their voices aren't so much different than males that you couldn't pass, but if you're used to talking in a nice deep register all your life, it can take some practice before you are silky smooth.

Pretty much this. More seriously though, I'm fairly certain no such documentary exists because no one would want to watch it (except you apparently :lol ). If you want to know more about the surgeries, you'll definitely have to read. While you're at it, you might then want to start reading the essays of Sandy Stone and the like. Then I'm positive you'll know more than us. :lollexi said:

I just noticed his thread (I don't OT much, or post much at all for that matter).
Just occurred to me some GAF posters may have known me from before I transitioned in real life. If you did, um... surprise??
Edit: Actually, I probably don't need to broadcast my YouTube account here

Really? Haha.
I just stayed up well past midnight reading this whole thread. I'm so impressed that it didn't just disintegrate into "hur hur tranny surprise hur hur"!

I've been gone for a month, but still reading Gaf time to time. When the other discussion about the unisex bathroom popped up I wanted to ask it but was still gone. Now this one has come up and I feel it's a better place.
What is transgender? Now if you are going to explain it. Explain it to like someone who is 5 years old. I can't seem to grasp concepts like this. No big words, or hard explanations please. :lol I'm still probably not going to be able to understand it even if you explain it though, so don't take offensive. This and Dyslexia have been used since I'm a kid to describe my "conditions"(>_>)...and I understand neither at all.
