As for the complete lack of emotion...I started to say you sounded like a "really bored female" but forgot to. The lack of emotion doesn't make it any more masculine to me, just disinterested.
Yeah. I'm not bigoted at all either... But *I'M* not a gay male, so I don't want to sound like one! I have nothing against gay men... I'm just not one.
LOL. "Really bored female". LOL. Problem was that that was my voice ALL the time. Even when mentally I was putting emotion into my voice, once my mouth opened it always came out flat.
Differences of interpretation I guess. And I suppose another large part of it is your mental image of the person you're listening to. We all have our preconceived images for other people, and I suppose that the one everyone here has of me is a "female" one. So you consequently put everything from me into a female context. Making my flat male voice come across as a bored female one!
Works for me. I still want an even more feminine voice though. My goal is to pass completely unquestionably in every way possible. And then some. If at all possible I'd like to be kinda sexy
