Thanks!!! I was told it will take up to two months to really start to sound anywhere near good, I have to try to remember that.... Im just VERY impatient At least so far though it sounds natural and not really weird or way too high... I was really scared of that... I made another recording this morning and while its better its not much better... Maybe just a bit stronger and higher but still pretty monotone.... I wont bother updating this every day Im sure Id benefit from pro speech therapy but there is none to be found around here... Im hoping that in time as it improves and I become less self conscious about my voice (IT WAS TERRIBLE) it will all just kinda fall into place...
From what I gather though what this surgery will do for me is make the break into falsetto very smooth to even nonexistent... There are times Im surprising myself with the girly noises Im making, its done a very good thing in eliminating a lot of the deeper resonance... I definitely CANT go anywhere near as deep as it used to be and that right there is HUGE to me I guess thats my biggest fear, that the low end will come back, still some there but different in a good way.... Im hoping this is the absolute bottom and the higher end opens up, OK I guess for only 12 days post op.... Cut off the low end and I will find a way to develop and increase the range of the high end in time... I can hear a similarity to my old trained voice, its close but there is ZERO effort to raise it, its there without trying at all... Id think as everything heals it will be very easy to get into the lower female range PERMANENTLY... Then I just have to work on inflection and prosody, "talk like a woman"
