FTM: How to Lower Voice Pre-T - IT'S POSSIBLE!

"I'm still pre t" I'm shook

My voice is the only reason I don't pass. Just the other day I was at a meeting and I said something and this girl just stared at me for a long time. After a while, she said "Forgive me for staring, but with the way you were dressed, I had no idea you were a girl!" Crushed.

I would say my chest and my voice are why I am so dysphoric

"oh yeah i just stopped binding" me, throwing my binder out the window: THERE MUST BE A SACRIFICE

"First of all I stopped binding " me has left the chat

I can't believe you can get so low without T, that's craaaazy ahah. I gotta try this.

Aight. I've cut my hair, I've got sports bras, and now I know how to lower my voice without T. Operation closeted trans is a go!

Bro me and the boys with hella deep voices pre T, we gonna be soundin like morgan freeman

i refer to myself as a cis dude, even though i’m intersex. i was raised male and my mind is male, so that’s why i like to think of myself as being cis. i’m very insecure about my body because of my hormone issues, making my chest be a lot more feminine than i would ever want it to be. the kids in my class would call me “she-male” and other shitty things and it made me just hate my body even more. i have always been more self conscious about my voice, because it doesn’t have the texture of a post-pubescent guy, i sound young. if anyone, especially trans guys want tips to making their voice cis-passing pre-t, i have you covered, my man. - firstly, talk with your chest—super important. my voice used to be really high but once i got older my voice shifted down into my chest—as it does with cis guys. this will help make your voice sound more hollow, rather than being up in your throat. - actually taking the time to lower your larynx and speak with your vocal folds deeper in your throat, will help overall to make your voice sound deeper. but make sure to only lower it to where it feel comfortable, don’t hurt yourself. - also, taking from the back of your mouth and throat can also help texturize your voice. it won’t be the thickened texture that testosterone will provide, but it works well. to talk with the back of your mouth, it can be done by tightening the top of your vocal folds and lowering the back of your tongue while you talk. - also, speech patterns are important as well. there are specific ways that make your speech rather than voice feminine or masculine. try to talk slower and almost kind of arch your wording without jumping back up into your throat. i don’t really know how to explain it sorry. - but most importantly, be safe. don’t hurt yourself whilst doing this, and remember that this is just a temporary situation hopefully. though, if and when you start testosterone, still talk with your chest and with other masc ways of speaking—this will help avoid the “tr*nny voice” (which is really just something that will make you sound throaty and nasally—not that cis guys can:t talk like that, but it’s mostly specific to ftm fellas). have a great day :)

Sometimes female voice actors voice-over teenage boys in Japanese anime. There are plenty of such tutorials, at industrial level, in Japanese and Chinese. So... I guess you can find something similar in English too?

Today I got called Mister in the super marcket. Then I said good morning, and this guy escuses for 5 min because he thought I was a woman because of my voice T.T

Only nineteen but your mind is older...

holy shit you just literally gave me the hope and motivation to keep living. thank you.

This might sound weird but i get voice cracks for some reason and it makes me feel really euphoric :) Idk just felt like sharing

For those who may be curious, I am now 5 years on T: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcy3pN-BHCI&t=22s

I needed this sooo much! A lot of the time my voice is why I don't pass...sure I am kind of small for a 14 year old guy and all that but people only question my voice and I am here like god someone save me...and I think you just did! Thank you!!! ♥

im glad i found this video, i am pre-T and i hate how high my voice sounds so i really wanted to lower it, my parents are doing everything they can to hold me back from transitioning, and publicly embarrass me all the time in hopes of deterring me :( but im 18 so i think they should stop trying to treat me like a kid with no rights its my body not theirs

Humming as you slowly tilt your head back and look at the sky is another great way to lower it, but do it repeatedly for good results.

“i stopped binding” me who doesn’t even have a way to get a binder: not a problem

My voice used to be the only reason I didn't pass. I voice trained and now I 100% pass AND I AM SO THANKFUL. I voice trained for a little bit and it really hurt my throat, so I stopped. But then 6 months ago my voice began to gradually deepen on it's own. Now it's the deepest it's ever been and it sounds natural. I am so happy about it. Everyone I meet know's I'm a male. It's SUCH a relief.
