~2.5 years of HRT here

ehhhhhhhh... not great. I've been utterly petrified of being out and about while being visibly trans, but I think at this point I need to bite the bullet sooner or later and stop boymoding. Problem is, I haven't really worked on my voice AT ALL. I have been trying to avoid spending money on it because I'm still reeling from paying for my GF to move cross country. However, any time I try to start on it, the sheer amount of stuff I need to learn overwhelms me and I shut down.

I wish this shit was easier.

There are a lot of videos and channels on YouTube that teach you how to change your voice to be more like your gender. Somebody posted a link on this community a while ago with a transfem one. Might wanna check that out. They're usually pretty easy to digest.

I'm a trans man, but those kinds of YouTube videos are what helped me get my voice cis passing way before hormones.

One aspect at a time. There's only 3 degrees of freedom I've been paying attention to for my voice, and it's working pretty well as I've been learning 1 at a time. Although it did take me a while.
