In Transition: A Webpage

being The Story Of A Young Transman As He Journeys Into Manhood, And The Complications Thereof.

I won't get into details here; this site is mostly for storage of my vocal files - recordings I've made over time to document how testosterone has changed the way I sound. I don't have enough server space here to put up images, so you'll just have to be content with wondering what I look like... kind of like we all wonder about disk jockeys. Ever notice that the guys with the really sexy voices always look like really scary computer geeks?

This was me on March 16, 2004 - one day after my first shot of testostosterone. I'm reading a definition a friend suggested.

Me on March 19th. So I was a little excited. So sue me. This is very obviously me forcing a lower range than I'm really capable of achieving.

March 28th. I'm starting to get a bit of gravel, but it's still obviously forced downwards...

After that, I had a series of computer problems, and until the incident described in this file, it didn't occur to me to make another recording. So this is about three months later:
Me on June 26th, a much longer file (no definitions here!) and not forced. In my head it still sounds to me like the first file, so hearing it was quite a shock.

I figure I'll be making one recording every three months, or so. Any closer together and they're all the same voice anyway.

I've tried keeping a weblog on two different pages besides my LiveJournal, but nothing else seems to work as well as LJ for me, so I'm going to stick to that for documenting my transition. I might create a few pages for this site, but apart from vocal files, don't expect many updates, folks.

So, there it is.
