Masculine Voices For Us Pre-t Guys?


Guest GoldenKirbichu

Hey, I know there are feminizing effects you can do to a masculine voice... does the opposite phenomenon exist for us pre-T guys?

I'm being constantly ma'amed on the phone and it's infinitely frustrating. I don't always have the patience to deal with hearing it. Is there any reliable way to deepen/masculinize one's voice?

Singing works well for some. Pick a song you like and try singing it an octave lower than you normally would. Males tend to speak in flat tones while a woman's voice tends to rise and lower in pitch as she speaks. Hope I haven't totally confused you.

I can talk like a guy, but my voice still sounds too high to be anything but a pre pubescent kid.

A lot of bioguys AND transguys have said my voice sounds masculine... but I'm STILL getting ma'ams, which is really infuriating.

I do try to pitch it low, but it doesn't really seem to help.

Just relax your voice. Don't do a fake low pitch, because it will sound . . . fake. Yeah, and don't let your voice go all over the place. You will still sound prepubescent, but at your age it will probably do (you are a high schooler, right? Gosh darned, I should've checked). On the phone, however, you will probably still get ma'amed. Tough sh*t.

Yep, I'm a high-schooler.

I present easily face-to-face... guess I'm just gonna have to straw inhaler it up until they invent commercial videophones.

The only thing we can really do is practice. Sometimes my voice passes, other times it doesn't, so even with practice it can be really difficult. It also helps to record yourself so you know what you sound like.

I've been blessed with a really deep voice, and nobody ma'ams me. When I was in middle school, people thought I was my dad on the phone. That always made me happy. My only tips to people is speak more monotone. Another thing is the laugh. Men don't really giggle, or have high-pitched, bubbly laughs. Belly-laughing in a deep tone can help one pass in a funny situation.

I saw Loren Cameron on Discovery Health. Yeah, I did wonder what was up with his voice. It's kind of squeaky and does not match his appearance.

I agree, practice/work on it.

I don't even know how to belly laugh. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily) I don't laugh very much.

Yep, variable results with voice. Not a transgender thing, just a human thing. I heard one of the Hamm twins speaking just after he won the olympics, and man did he have a high voice. Higher than most girls.

I'm not sure if my voice is getting deeper or if I'm just becoming more masculine but I'm getting sirred more often than ma'amed on the phone now... whoop.

Don't feel bad at all about being ma'amd'd on the phone.

the operators/customer service people are taught to assume it's a woman

Some women, especially older ones, have deep voices

I dunno it's weird...but I called AT&T using my regular voice (which is pretty darn low)

and they referred to me as Ma'am, hehe but I didn't correct them, since I was just asking questions.

and..yea don't try a deep like moan low voice cause it sounds fake...kinda like how guys try an unimaginably high female voice.

P.S. I need help w/ my female voice.

I've heard of voice stretches, i have a video on youtube, i'll find it later & post a link if i can.

I do one that i believe Tyra Banks used to do when she first started her talk show, because her voice was very high & hyper sounding, so basically she'd make this deep "Oooooooooooooooooooooooo" sound for like 10 minutes, i've been doing it & it does help lower your voice register. Though, i still need a lot of practice, and i sing so i need to practice singing that low, i can't hit the low notes :[

the voice will go more masculine with TESTOSTERONE injections in time . you should be able to get voice therapy aswell for FTM just like you can get for MTF.

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
