A Thing For Nerds, redux
Been working on my voice for over a year now, and often I have a hard time telling if I've really made any progress.
In 2017 I recorded a couple "best female voice" samples; since it's been a while... here's a sample of my current best voice, reading an abbreviated 1-minute version of the same "A Thing for Nerds" monologue I recorded last September:
A Thing For Nerds, 1 minute version - July 2018 (Script here, along with a video of a cis woman delivering it.
Keep in mind, this is not my normal every day voice. There's no way I could keep this up. When I'm not conscious about it, my voice just automatically slips back into old male patterns. But still... I think this is decent. Mostly need to just keep practicing a lot, and stay conscious of what my voice is doing.
Oh yeah, got my new US passport in the mail a few days ago. Has my new name and says "Sex: F" on it.
Validation 4tw!
