thank you so much for this! I'm 6 months on T and after singing my whole life now I just can't control my voice at all. At first it was interesting and I was like okay let's work on this, but after noticing it's not something I can control anymore (until my voice "settles" I guess) I got so discouraged and felt so empty it was terrible. I'm still working everyday on my voice like I used to, just feeling a little bit sad and adjusting to the changes, but knowing there's trans fellas out there who had the same struggle and made it in the end gives me all the courage I need to keep working on it. So! Thank you so much!!! :)
I had that same feeling, being an alto 2 in choir, I couldn’t hit higher notes in our pieces. Flash forward to now, I can get an okay F#1 in CHEST which is c r a z y because most cis men can’t hit that. I can hit a pretty good B1 too. I dreamed of being a bass singer and the fact that I can hit those extreme low notes is like a dream come true. But yea it just took time and practice. I’m really glad it came this far.
❤️ Love. Thank you. Former professional singer here. Started hormone therapy to help with my menopause symptoms, and lost my voice about a year ago. It’s taken me that long to control speech, but hoping to get back to singing again soon. What you say about sharing to be expressive and vulnerable is so true and how hard it is to keep singing when you’re not feeling great about yourself. Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤️
I know this feeling as well as a trans woman, it is hard to vocal train as it is let alone train your singing voice to be more feminine. My bf is trans too and he noticed the same challenges you talked about, he loved singing but now it’s harder for him
Dude -- I am a trans man of 20 years + I'm an old fart. I can ONLY IMAGINE the emotional pressure you must have felt to risk your voice for transition. I'm SO GLAD things have worked out so well for you!!! YOU ROCK!
I started T a few months back. I used to sing and I was kind of heartbroken when I lost that ability... seeing this helps me a ton. I'll just keep at it and work through the transition. Thank you for this video. ♥
omg this scares me so bad! As a trans ftm, I'm super scared of losing my voice, as my voice is apart of me and it's so special to me. On top of that, I'm training in opera, which is one of the hardest genres to train for. Wish me luck.
Your voice is still great.i like both versions. You have the gift .What i notice is the huge confidence boost after T.You seemed so shy before but now you can make up for the voice with the added confidence . You didnt lose any friends or family ,just discovered who your true friends and family are-people who accept you as you are!!!
I went through that same thing. I’m about 10 months on T now and I’ve got a strong chest voice. My head voice/falsetto is pretty much nonexistent but my mix is starting to come back so that’s a good sign
I'm so glad I found this vidéo! I thought a lot about losing my singing voice because of the T and I also found out it was more important to me to really be me than to be able to sing, so I took the shot and the same thing happend to me. After a few month taking T shots, I lost it. It hit me hard and I completely stopped "singing" (more like trying to produce a minimum sound XD) for a while. Like once a month, I'd try to sing, getting more frustred each time about not being able. And one day, out of the blue, it was "back". Clearly not my old singing voice but a sound that I could work with to learn to sing (I've never really learn to sing, it was always natural to me pre-T) and have control over. And now, after maybe a half year of singing again almost every day, I'm have doubt that I'll be able someday to have as much control over my singing as I used to. This video gave me hope that I will. I'm on T since a year and five month and I had forgotten that my voice (and me) has still so much way to do. Thank you for this video and hope!! (sorry for the mistakes I may have made, English isn't my first language)
I think you have incredible strength and your real and authentic, and I admire your determination to be your true self. And with that it makes your voice beautiful, because the realness and authenticity comes out and that’s beautiful. Love your voice. Keep singing ❤️👍
Thank you so much for posting this! I was just like you, I knew my voice would change (duh) but I didn't really think that much about how it would change singing for me. I've been on T for 3 months now and even though my voice has barely changed I can't sing anymore and it is extremely frustrating. It was definitely something I took for granted as something that brought me joy. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to sing again someday and I'm excited to see how it turns out.
You were a beautiful female and now you are a gorgeous male, but better than that, you are an amazing individual! Thanks for sharing, may you be blessed and prosperous always!
this helps me so much. I'm on kind of a mid-low dose of T for 3 months right now and I am so glad, but it does scare me because parts of my voice is very unstable and foreign right now. I figure that if I give it time and be patient and kind with my voice I will come to a place where I am comfortable and at home in it.
Very inspirational Jaimie. Hopefully this reaches other trans people who are also singers. Maybe some of them think they have to sacrifice their singing for the sake of their transition. This video can show them that's not the case. Keep sharing your journey with the world!
I love to sing also... I feel like once I started hormones my singing became better. But it also could be cuz I sing more often since I lived alone and didn’t feel embarrassed lol. Practice makes perfect. One thing I always do is sing karaoke at home lol. I also sing like everyday at home and in the car and in the shower lol. I love to sing! You keep doing you boo!!! I love you!
HEYY I FOUND YOU ON SNAP FROM A THIS IS LIFE AND YOUR STORY IS SO INSPIRATIONAL MAN ‼️ I’m Going Through This I Just Haven’t Gone Through Transition Yet I’m Ready To Start But I Don’t Know Where To Go Or What To Do But I Hope You Well And Stay Safe Coronavirus Is Serious And I Hope You Post A New Video Soon !!
I'm in a very similar situation to you were. I'm 1.5 years on T and I cannot sing falsetto anymore, just air comes out. I've tried practicing but I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to practice. Like am I supposed to practice the range I cannot sing in or should I practice the notes I can reach and then try to go from there? It's super frustrating to want to make music but being limited to only being able to sing low.
Hey I really want to add Dutch subtitles to another video of you because I want to show this video to my parents when I come out. I'm fluent in English but my parents aren't. I think the way you describe it is the same as I feel, and I want to show my parents that I'm not the only one who feel it like this. Can you help me with this, because it is blocked for me to add subtitles.
Thank you very much! I was looking for information to this theme. Thinking about singing after testosterone, and I am a little bit afraid to loose my voice. Thank you.
Nice video! And beautiful voice that matches your outer inner self for sure. I am not a singer but I am sure this is helping a lot of transmasculine people 🌈
I don’t know what to do. I need serious help. I used to have such a lovely unique tone as a first soprano and now i don’t know what to do. I’m two and a half years on T and I sounds awful! like stale, almost flat even though its the right note. it just sounds gross like i can’t sing and its depressing me a lot. Thanks for the video.
Just Need to Let you know you’re incredibly Beautiful even more so when you’re expressing yourself musically honestly not even talking about you’re looks! ✨ 🤍
I'm about 2 years on a low dose and i started a new choir recently. It's still a struggle sometimes but it's getting better i think. But one thing i struggle with is when i sing notes that are high "for men", it's more like my mid-range in my current voice without much energy into it, or if i try to get the same amount of energy into it i go too high.. dunno if I'm explaining well... for exemple, i like singing along the song run away to mars when it plays on the radio and it feels like i never hit the high note (maaars) quite right, i don't have a very good ear so that doesn't help but like i said, if i try to put power into it, it sounds like a girl voice and too high, otherwise if i don't, it sounds too low...anybody else experienced that? I know i gotta sing more often, i pretty much never practice because i find singing alone difficult, i think i might be too concerned with making my voice sound manly.. with others singing around me, it's like it hides it and i don't hear it as much so it feels better... will try to not focus so much on making it perfect, as you say .. :)
I'm a pianist. I'm not trans, I'm not trying to be a trans ftm, but I have this syndrome called Klinefelter, mostly known as XXY syndrome. In other words, I'm a man that never have had produced Testosterone... Recently I've started taking Testosterone in 💉 and Estrogens suppressors because my body lives naturally cheated. The thing I miss the most is my very thin voice, I was an often karaoke singer, and know my voice is ruined. Thanks for your video tips, I'm trying with my piano coach to star vocalising and training my new voice. The thing is that I'll never reach again the high notes I was used to.
bro how tf does even your voice pass this damn well? I'm not trying to be disrespectful to anyone, but I feel like of most the trans men I've seen (which admittedly isn't many, but like, even on the internet), some of them have passed incredibly well, but something, usually their voice, or maybe their facial hair, makes them 'clockable'. You are 100% unclockable. I imagine other trans guys envy the fuck out of you. You hit the fucking lottery. Good for you. Keep killing it.
I don’t understand you, but I respect you working hard and talking about it too. You look like a man more than most trans men look like women, or the reverse or whatever, you know what I mean. Can you spot the secret trans people in hollywood and on tv? There’s so many…
