Change in Voice

**Lwmc** · 04-03-2016, 09:41 PM

I made this profile for this post alone. I know this is a frequently posted subject, but I have searched and searched for a definite answer and couldn't find one.
My voicd is at least an octave lower than normal. People constantly ask me if I'm transgender... When I talk to cashiers I can feel everyone's eyes on me.
I've looked into voice feminizations and laser surgery which I'm willing to go into debt for if it will change but I don't know if it would work. It says it's for males thing to be female and i don't know if the steroids have destroyed my vocal chords of if it can be fixed.

And I don't understand how women like Dana Linn Bailey and people like her can have such normal voices.

Does anyone have a straight answer please?
Or anyone with experiences like mine and how you deal with it?

Hi Lwnc. Welcome to the forum! I too can't understand how some women's voice changes after taking steroids , and others do not. Side effects are just more prominent in some people.
Other than surgery have you thought about talking to a voice coach? They may can help you to train your voice back to its original tone. Best of luck to you!
