Not person you replied to, but I've long enjoyed singing along with high pitched women. Always thought it was fun trying to hit some of the absurd highs you sometimes find from Hatsune Miku, for example. It doesn't sound good when I reach those notes, but at least the pitch ain't bad. I don't think that was the result of any intentional voice training (I'm not a singer and it would be another decade until my egg started cracking).
But yeah, singing along on-octave to female singers is something I like to do for dysphoria reasons. I've sometimes started trying to up-octave male singers as a way to practice more than just pure imitation, but I'm that takes more effort and usual I'm just chillin when listening to music. Also I listen to lots of music by trans creators.
Sic! Also, +1 for Hatsune Miku! :D
Honest question, but feel free to tell me to read up on my own: does HRT highten the voice pitch, change the timber or affect voice in any other way without voice training? Also, if the voice and/or vocal cords are in fact affected, does the "typical" male falsetto (or its range) transition into a more "typical" female like head voice? 🤔
I don't know too much about voice training tbh. I still sound like a guy and haven't really tried to voice train.
But estrogen does nothing to your voice. High T elongates the vocal chords, but the opposite doesn't happen unfortunately.
