Good way to fix your voice if your not sure (Must have an xbox)

This is soooo much better then a phone because you get 11 people telling you how you sound.

Ahaha I guess it won't work that well for older people because you would actually have to play games for this to work. However through xbox live I play a game called

-Call of Duty

Through there I play a game that makes it so you HAVE to be in game chat.

After that I do my voice and talk to people.

The first time I did this, many people told me I sounded trans and made fun of me. HOWEVER even if they make fun of you don't worry. There were actually a lot of people that thought it was funny and tried helping me so that we could prank other people. Of course none of the people know about me but they always give me advice to perfect my voice for their own amusement. In my opinion I think it's much better then asking friends to listen to your voice because

1. You have to see them. On xbox it's just like a phone

2. Their your friends. They'll try to be nicer and lenient for you

On xbox, the people are VERY VERY VERY VERY mean. But if your a girl, they'll be extremely nice. <3

Anyways I started on August. Now it's December. Even though I already had my girl voice along time ago, I was wayyy to shy and embarassed to talk to people in my voice and I still am. Also I was not able to do my girl voice quickly. I had to warm up before I could do it. . But thanks to xbox live I have learned how to switch my voice in a matter of seconds without warming up.

As long as your strong and don't give up when they tell you--- Ohhhh you sound like a crossdresser, Transgender, man, (very very very Hurtful comments). You'll succeed. Even now I get called a guy (Because apparently only guys play xbox so they think I'm a little boy) But they still give me advice. For some of them just tell them your trying to sound like a girl to prank other people. Guaranteed you'll make friends and they'll give you advice. The bois love to prank other guys. XD Stupid bois. <3 :P

I have an xbox, and you're so brave for doing it on Call of Duty. That game is full of mean people.

However, this sounds like a really good way to get feedback. Whenever I learn to start working on my voice, this is the method I'll use. Thanks!

Ahaha how's it brave? XD No one knows who you are. All they can do is talk bad about you. And then you never meet them again or you can just block them. However, outside of xbox (Real world) It can spread, like schools, neighbors, friends, and then they talk behind your back. So I perefer to perfect things in private (If possible). For example- if you were gonna try to pass might as well drive an hr away and go to stores. They call you mam. Yay! sir. Boo. Obviously this isn't as good though because some people would just know your MtF and just say mam to be polite. -__-"".

I feel kinda bad saying this but I kinda stopped trusting friends opinions with my looks and voice. Don't get me wrong! With other stuff I totally trust but they just say what I want to hear and in my opinion, I always like blunt even if it hurts my feelings. ;P So meaner people+observant pplz=best pplz to test it out on. ;D

Wow, that is actually a pretty excellent way of doing it o_o I don't have anything but old handheld gaming systems, so I cannot exactly do this. I bet that if you happen to be rather excellent at COD, you can just outright say that you are trans and they'll be in awe of your awesome bravery+skills. I have never played, but I imagine that there is a power dynamic where the best players are quite respected.

Ahaha nooooooo nooottt a good idea. XD They'll make more fun of you. They'd be saying along the lines of- Oh wow! That's why your so good at this game? You got no friends cuz ur trans! You got no life cuz you play all day.

I know this is because that's almost the exact same line they said to me. -__-""

I'm gonna try that. I own black ops 2 on Wii U and there isn't too many mean people. For now I'll just hum a song so my voice gets better.

Haha I always hum on xbox. It's become a bad habbit of mine. I just talk and then when it's quiet I randomly hum because I start feeling like my voice is getting deeper. It's a "tester" thing. It's weird. Lol!

Wow Chibi you are wayyyyy braver than I.. I did something kinda like that by using ventrilo in World of Warcraft and SWTOR with my guilds and even then I always have been decent with doing funny voices for fun so developing my female voice wasn't too bad. But practicing via call of duty, that would have been totally confidence busting for me when I was just starting out some of those people are soooo brutally vicious!

But good for you none the less! Unfortunately my Xbox live name was one I selected before I was out of the closet with most of my rl friends, so.. It's still pretty masculine and would just beg people on XBL to assault me with annoying questions. lol. I don't setup a new one because... sadly I don't want to lose my achievements!....

What is ventrilo? O.o. Anywayssss my xbox account is very very very manly. My friend gave it to me. It was Randy0706 <<<Is that not masculine name? LOL! And people would always make fun of me! D; However. I'm actually VERY glad that I started with a boy account. Because with this very masculine name (I'm just makiing up statistics but just so you know) 10% said girlmale(The more offensive term)/trans/whatever offensive name u can think of. 40% said are you a boy or a girl? 50% said OMG OMG OMG IT'S A GIRL LET'S ADD HER/Message her perverted stuff. -__-"" Pervs. Lol! Anyways yup. You get the point. Having a masculine name account is the best to prepare yourself for the outside world. ;P

Masculine Name- Suspicion>Question>Pass. If your voice is good enough to get past suspicion they'll ask whether your a girl or a boy. If it gets even better then that you definately pass! ;P.

This helps alot because I do it every morning (When my voice is all groggy) After so much practice (Thanks to summer break) I don't need to warm up ever! <3

Ventrilo is a voice chat program that tons of people use for playing video games via PC, mainly Massively Multiplayer Online Games. :) So basically like talking with a headset over Xbox live.

Either way, I'm happy that worked for you! :)

Wow, you are very brave. :)

I don't think I would be able to tolerate a bunch of tween boys calling me names!! I would prefer constructive criticism. xD

I don't think I could do that, People on Xbox are really really Mean, especially on Call of Duty. I don't play it because the people there are mostly Bullies, Pre-Teens, and Cheaters. I would think it would be harder on xbox live because the Kinect and headset adds an almost mechanical sound to your voice completely ruining the effort. Sarah you can always change your Gamertag for 800 Points/ten dollars. I know it's a bit much but so worth it depending on your Gamertag you won't lose your Gamerscore for changing it either.

Yes but it has helped me on phone, in real life, and everything else. I understand that your voice is "mechanical sounding" But somehow for example. My bff and me were at Starbucks and I was talking like a guy. Suddenly my friend calls me and I did a girl voice in a second. And my friend... was absolutely... AMAZED. Besides it helps because people would tell you dude why are you trying to sound like a girl? Or wow u sound like Mickey Mouse (My friend attempted to do this and I taught him) And now he sounds like a perfect girl. Except 13. Lol. But still. And now he can do it in real life too. So I mean it still helps you with the pitch and everything. But like ya. Your choice but in my opinion it helped me learn how to switch in seconds.

I get that quite a bit when I play Rock Band on XBL. My in-game character is pretty much me with better boobs, and after talking about songs to play, and I get the usual "Girl on drums? This is going to suck!" Of course, that usually isn't the way it goes :D

On the flipside, my WoW guild didn't know I was male (pre-transition, and they were the first people I came out to...been in it for 7 years now) until I started talking on Vent (it went from "Holy crap, Sturm's a dude!" to "Figured there was something behind all that!" when I came out). So at least typing was more than girly enough to pass as female rather than the typical "guy who would rather stare at a hot Night Elf chick's tush"...I chalk that up to my first serious on-line experiences being with the girls from work on AIM group chats when I was in high school.

Semi-Related story xD

In Halo Reach it would open up mic to your enemy team if they were close to you (I noticed this because heard people working in teams to kill me)

So instead of talking in my normal voice, I'd use that very cliche and flamboyant gay male type of voice. You should hear the way some of these kids get mad xD

But yeah I'd never take people on Xbox Live seriously. Most of them are little kids trying to prove how cool and manly they are, or older guys trying to prove how alone they aren't.

Of course you find some really cool people sometimes! But for the most part I could never deal with the hate and un-necessary insults so I just mute everyone when I do play.

Ahaha I never played Halo before but maybe I will. I think you should stop muting people and try sounding like what you really are. XD. People will help you just for the fun of it! At least you know they're going to be honest.

I don't engage in online gaming, but I would advise that one should employ caution at all times. Kelly, if you feel safer muting people and not displaying your voice, I think that is wise.

Be safe and always be aware.

I mute whether Im trying to make myself femme or not :D

Its generally wise for most people. On the rare occasion I play games, I don't want to deal with some cocky 13 year old whos only skill is infact, Call of Duty xD

I do commend Chibi for two reasons.

If she doesn't pass the voice test: Most prolly wont be nice.

If she does. Most prolly won't be nice.

I've talked to female gamers on rare occasions, and they either get insulted with things like "Get in the kitchen -fill in with your imagination horri-word-" or they actually get sexually harassed.

It's kinda amusing actually when they harass me. I don't get mad very easily and I built an immunity to their sexist jokes. But what makes it even more fun is when the older and more mature guys starts defending me by yelling and dissing the younger kids. ANYWAYS I even gave a couple of them my account just because I don't want to waste my time leveling up. They didn't even seem to mind helping me. And some were nice to share their Hulu and Netflix account and they don't even ask for pictures or anything creeperish in return. In my opinion gaining experience, friends, kinda learning how the guy mind works, and getting free movie accounts is so worth the kiddish sexual harassments. <3

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me.

      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
