i use a shit load of test and other androgenic aas for bodybuilding... and i cant sing for shit lol but then again i never could... even if you get a deep voice, it doesnt matter. just listen to ronnie drew and johnny cash.
i think you should wait a few years before making such a big decision tho...
Everyone's voice adjusts to their hormone levels. Yes, you'll have an adjustment period, but you know how to control your voice. Not much will change for you. You'll still love music, you'll still be awesome at it. Sure, it will sound a little different, but you'll still be you!
if i were u id check out Twinfools youtube page ( hes a FTM too) and ask him a few questions about it. also id just stay on a low dose of T so that it just gives u that little bit of manlyness that ur looking for. i dont care if u dont take my advice , ur an amazing person and singer and im proud to b a fan of urs
it doesnt sound like you will ever be able to go bass but you could be a fantastic tenor! i dont know a whole lot about how a voice gets deeper but im a bass and in the last year ive hit about a step and a half deeper than i did last year. so if you wanna go low its probably just stretching of the vocal chords and testosterone
Hey Ryan, I have the same...problem, I sing in a choir, and sometimes I not sure about T (I'm pre-everything yet), for the voice problem, I'm scared that maybe it takes too much time until I can use my singing voice again....
I'm pretty sure that as long as you pay attention to how your voice is changing and "get to know it," you'll be fine. With practice, you can extend your vocal range, so if you "lose" some high notes, you'll most likely be able to train them back. (am I making any sense?) I'm not an FtM (yet-its a possibility), but I did once take vocal lessons and extended my range a lot, so it can be done. I hope this helps! Best of luck, Ryan. =]
I was unable to hear most of your video (my speakers suck) but I think I got the gist of it. If I were you, I suppose I would wait, because if you are unable to sing well because of it, you might seriously regret it. But that's just me. I've always "played it safe," but it's your voice, your choice, and really, I can say with confidence that many people would still listen to you, because you have amazing talent with songwriting. Whatever you choose, I will respect it. =]
If u are going to take T...wishing all the best, Ryan..
Everybody might have different opinions...some people might say that they prefer to listen to your music with your 'original' voice...
But, eventhough your voice will change because of T, I still will be listening to your music...It's not the voice...its the music and lyrics that makes me wants to listen to your music...
But anyway, I don't know whether taking an extra long time to do this would help THAT much-- in fact, it could possibly make it worse (because of the larynx not growing). I'd suggest, if there's any way you can, start as soon as possible to give your larynx the best chance. I dunno if you saw my vid about this (I know you commented on the one where I demo my vocal range), but if you haven't, well, I made it for you so check it out. :-p (called 'Testosterone and the voice (~8 months)')
So basically, when the vocal cords thicken without the larynx growing, the growth is restricted and there isn't as much space in there for them to relax. That makes singing more strained, and makes you tire more easily, which is where the other consideration comes in: 'intense vocal training' may not be possible during the change. My voice used to tire so fast that I could only sing like 1 line before it started to hurt. And I wasn't singing hard either, just normally (as much as possible)
I can't remember if I put this in my video, but there are a couple things you do still need to consider-- one, depending on how long you wait, your larynx pretty much only grows during puberty 1. Which is why FTMs have more trouble than cisguys w/ the voice. Cisguys' adams apples are growing all through puberty, allowing widening of the vocal cords. Yours hasn't been. If you wait too long to introduce T to the system, it may be 'set' (just like your bones stop growing at a certain age).
there were definitely a few weeks (maybe over a month) where I couldn't sing, period. I couldn't even raise my voice, it was dead.
Then it lowered, dropped completely, and I joined chorus to reteach myself to sing. After 6 months on T, I was basically comfortable with my new voice.
Your voice changes no doub. Mine did, but I learn to sing with my new male voice and I have been told that my voice now has great characteristics. I am now a recording artist, my message is important and I found my new voice. So I say no worries, do what you need to do to make yourself happy.
your face looks preety female i guess you would look really sexy as a women i can just tell

I've heard that if you keep singing every day through your transition, you'll still be able to sing. That's what I'm doing. :)
