I just passed as a female over the phone!

[StephanieJ]

Hi Girls,

I had no one else to share this with and it was so thrilling so thank you for listening. Here's how it went; I had to call the Utah Tax Commission today for work. Due to a paperwork error, they were expecting the person on the phone to be a female, so I steeled my resolve and went for it in my best Stephanie voice. Not sure how convincing I was, probably a little overly giggly, but the gentlemen on the phone seemed none the wiser and we got the job done.

Secretly, I've always wanted to be forced to be feminine at work so I guess this was a wish granted. So fun!

Cheers,
Steph J

That's a great achievement! Congratulations

Or he was just being polite and didn’t want to call you out in the middle of a business call... but glad you had fun. Hope there are no negative consequences.

There are plenty of men with fairly high voices and women with lower ones. I could see it getting blurred over the phone. Just like when my son was growing up and asking if the singer on the radio was a boy or girl.

I doubt I could manage that unfortunately.

It sounds like you had fun, and that counts for something!

Steph,

Well going by your avatar had it been a video call he'd still used the femme pronoun. Glad you had such a lovely time.

IO'm having a similar problem:
I'm working from home and I have to call a lot of new people. Prospect customers.
So they don't know who's calling them.
I dress every day before start working but sometimes I do all the nines, like today (see attached pic) I do other call like to the cable company and to At&T but without notice I began talking in a melow way as a woman and using all the ways women do, with my normal voice but with a higher pitch, the lady at the other side of the line star calling me mom, what I like and keep the game. At the end I was honest and told her that I was a trans-woman and appreciate her courtesy and she said that she knew because she has a trans woman friend.
The problem came when I do the next call to a new customer and I keep the form and high pitch, he, an Indian guy, treat me as a woman but ask for my name, then I realized what was happen, so I keep the play and say Vanessa Grandy.
To do the things worse, the call was a success and we have to meet next Tuesday to discuss the business, so may be this would be an opportunity to try the new role, ass Vanessa, now with customers but I don't have business cards, neither a business dress or go and say the truth.
So this weekend I have another reason to loose some sleep...

That is so cool.
I used to do a pretty good female voice and have fooled a few people over the phone in the past.
I haven't tried in years since I dress all alone.
Dressing is crazy enough, talking to my self would mean I'm really crazy!

I have done it when conducting business for my wife.

Just raise your voice a timbre. :-)

Congrats! It always feel good when it Gapp’s right! This is something I experience often at drive thrus. I have a naturly higher pitch and my inflections tend to be more on the feminine side (which I’m not trying to do) so I am always ma’am’d at the drive thru and on the phone. My wife always laughs at me when I get ma’am’d. I’m glad about it as I’m starting voicing training to work on feminization so I can do a full sounding female when I’m dressed up.

Nothing wrong with that! I often have conversations with my self. Helps me think....

Anybody can if you learn. Surprisingly people even with deep voices are able to change it enough to pass with some work. I do mean SOME work. Practice practice practice and avoid falsetto. At least from what I’ve learned so far.
