I've been thinking about this a lot. On Saturday, I attended a Transgender award show. Many of the girls were really stunning. I mean, they were not only passible, but they were passable as seriously hot young women by any measure.
And yet.. the voice was a giveaway. They obviously spend time and money to work on it, but I'd still assume that I was talking to a very effeminate man if I took a phone call from one of them.
But so what? Is the goal to simply fly under the radar and never been noticed because you appear in every way to be a routine woman? Or is it to express the woman inside you... with your own voice? I think that trying to change your pitch and really mimic a naturally born female is nearly impossible for most of us. But learning how a woman talks, the articulate way that she says words... that's beautiful. And authentic. I've know quite a few trans girls that have deep voices but still talk in a wonderful and delicate female cadence. It changes everything about how they communicate.. and I believe that any of us can learn how to do that if we put our minds to it.
