Voice Training.............
New Years Resolution #1 - Wear heels more often, if not everyday......
New Years Resolution #2 - Soften my voice!!
Seriously, I made a shocking discovery today when I made a YouTube video for some friends.
youtu.be/wvEKvYgf8nY
Now, the singing part I expected to be deep (and awful) but I didn't realise how terrible my voice actually sounded. And how masculine it was. I had foolishly led the assumption I carried a neutral tone to my voice. But that definitly doesn't sound neutral does it!!
It's almost depressing....
Anyway, I'm hoping to start hormones next year, if the clinic is happy with the changes I have made and I've been told they will help soften my voice. Hopefully. But I was wondering is there any tricks, potions or old wives tales that I could try to help soften my voice? I am looking for everything to the plausible to the bizarre, so lay it on me.
I am considering finding a voice coach.....
Oh, and Friday night some of you will know I had my works Christmas party. I would like to thank you all for the contribution.
And for your efforts, this is what I went with -
Got lots of compliments from the rest of the Ladies. Got told I had a nice ass by a bloke at the bar. (It was at a public venue and I think he was sober, maybe not). There was no funny looks from the staff. And I used the Ladies restroom. (A big thing for me to do, really, as I look like that ^ )
Thanks for reading..
