What's going to Take time Is The Voice & Makeup

Voice is often the hardest. I'm fairly androgynous as far as voice goes. Classes and work does help. Unfortunately for MTFs HRT does little or nothing.

I don't know about the voice as I have done little although I am intending to work on that.

With makeup I usually apply daily even if it is not really required. A girl always tries to look her best lol! Anyway the idea is that practice makes perfect (or at the very least - acceptable). I am somewhat artistic so like to 'paint my face'. Also moisturisers and foundation often include sun - screen nowadays so that is good (not sticky like normal sun - screen).

I think it would be similar with voice although maybe taking some advice so to avoid sore throat and other similar issues

The best I can do is 50% of the time on the telephone, until I get actually in a conversation, and then it becomes 98% with no problem. It is not so much the real singing voice (I am alto tenor) but as much what you talk about and the words you use. Add in a sunny disposition and some animation, and the pitch becomes less of a problem. I put my resonance in the roof of my mouth these days and in IRL, no one gives a hoot or a holler.

A tiny hint on eyeliner---DO NOT use dark black unless you are very young. Put your left index finger on the outside corner of your eye, and pull back toward your ear, so the eyelid is straight across and not moving and then use a crayon liner just above your lashes. If it takes two shots to get it where you want it, no big deal. (If you are left handed, use the right hand to hold the lid still). Foundation is a good idea until you have XXXXXed the beard. Get a professionals from Ulta or Sephora to help you find the best color, you want it close to your natural complexion, but about 5 colors are close to mine, so I have a choice. The foundation evens out your complexion and makes you look younger. (Nuff said).

      Welcome to the forums! Writer and graphic artist (and photographer) here as well, though most of my life has been spent in the sports realm... bless you with three teenagers!! I have two and they are a handful ... I have found a lot of encouragement and help on this forum... Hope you do as well... Blessings on your journey ahead ...    Easy

      During COVID lockdowns without any place to go, some neighborhood buddies and I would play Life for hours (imagine a bunch of middle aged men playing that game, it was a hoot - all sorts of 'house rules')... anyways, as much as I could get away with it, I would choose a pink peg to represent myself... sometimes even had a female name to go with it... this was before I even really pondered whether or not I was trans ...   I was very determined to do this ... so interesting to look back and see all the threads pointing me to where I am now, though it has come as such a surprise as well...   Easy

      Thank you all for the helpful responses... I realize some of HRT is for mental health -- like I said above I really am enjoying the ride so far in that regard!   Guess there is a part of me that wants to have my cake and eat it too. I want to have a nice feminine shape within reason for my age (fat distribution - you can kick in whenever you want!!). Yet, I am still not out to family, so I want it to be subtle enough as I go along that I can cover tracks when necessary ... Not the ideal situation but it is what it is ... maybe when family realizes that this is not making me into a monster, they will come around to some of it. I can hope, right?   More and more, I just want to look in the mirror and see a female body staring back at me ... I want female clothing that I put on to look like it fits me to a T... (and by T, I don't mean testosterone, lol)...    EasyE

      Good afternoon M.A.   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I think you'll find that there are a lot of us who had their first therapist reconsidering our story and recommended us to gender or LGBTQIA specific therapist. I made my first therapist cry after asking me what was my worst experience or memory. She was not prepared for the can of worms I brought to the couch. My second therapist is a gem, she's my age and knows how to work with my thoughts.    My two kids were also involved in the arts programs in school one in theater, the other combined art and modern music.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Welcome.   This can be a good sounding board and a place to say things you otherwise could not. Be yourself. Find out what that is.   Abby

      I'm wearing a white t shirt and jeans.  The t-shirt is softer than a man's and slightly girly.  Feeling kinda pretty.

      That's very common in internet forums and it is hard not to take it personally sometimes.   You might post "bump" with a smiley face to bring it to the top of the stack, or you might use the @ feature if there are certain people you would really like to have comment on it, and say something like Dear Abby, I would really like your input on this.  Please take a minute and respond.  Thanks!!!

      The same for me... That's exactly were MmIndy came from. I started choosing female skins as soon as they became available in the few games I played.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Something else I noticed @Ladypcnj Since I use the Unread tab, I don't see threads I've read again until someone replies to it, or the author adds something.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning @Ladypcnj   Some posts get lost in the busy times here. It also maters how people navigate the site. Some only look at their notifications, or tap the All Activity tab which shows them thread they've commented on. (how I see it)... I on the other hand use the Unread tag under Activity. I don't think people ignore post as much as they get caught up reading threads they've already been active in.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
