Songs in T-Minor - 6. The Voice

i stand there, in the light

pluck the strings

open my mouth, let out my voice

and sing

 

they hear me

watch me, eyes wide

and after

the applause and cheers

proof that i was here

 

how can i let this go?

this feeling

this joy

my voice has the ability to

touch people’s souls

 

my voice is me and i am

my voice

 

if i do this

if i change the outside

to match the inside

then this too will change

my voice

will become deeper

darker

different

 

so i must make a choice

between my inner self and my voice

and what is either without the other?

I don't know how hormone treatments affect the voice. I would argue that deeper, darker, and different aren't necessarily bad. I realize your singing voice is a part of who you are. If you are becoming the new you, part of that may be a new voice. A beautiful singing voice in tenor or bass may be part of the new you. Once again thanks for sharing your journey.

Taking testosterone is kind of like going through a second puberty, so your voice changes. There's no guarantee that you're left with a good singing voice... And I'd have to train it from scratch. I have spent my entire life training my voice. A lot of that hard work would become undone. And I like my singing voice. I like the way it sounds and the way it makes me feel. My singing ability is one of the few things in life I'm absolutely confident in. Perhaps the only thing. So I have a lot of thinking to do...

Thanks for reading and commenting! ❤️
