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.

[Guest GoldenKirbichu]

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.

[Guest mr_marc]

I can just about, needs work though.

Sounds like my invisible testicles haven't dropped tbh lol

[Guest GoldenKirbichu]

Yeah, I sound prepubescent too. I mean, I sound male to myself, but next to other guys I lose confidence.

[Guest Mr. Fox]

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.

[Guest Madison_Always]

well if it helps i got mam'd until i was like 13. dont anymore tho

[Guest tonyd]

I agree, practice/work on it.

T can help lower your voice....i get Sirred all the time now on the phone...some people get confused when they call me at my job....

T doesn't effect everyone's voice i seen an intereview with loren cameron and he looks like a macho bodybuilder but has a not so male voice...

take care

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.

[Guest Michelle M]

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.

[Guest GoldenKirbichu]

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.

[Guest beyondwow]

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.

[Guest amandakadabra]

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 :[

[Guest theEND]

My voice is sorta low, but it just sounds really feminine >_< Urgh it's so frustrating!!

[Guest femmym]

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.
