I am cross-posting this all over the place, because I am just so giddy.

Okay, so! My biggest concern on Testosterone was always what impact it would have on my singing voice. I have always loved to sing, it makes me happier than anything else in the world, regardless of my lack of skill. I'm not an especially good singer, but God how I love it so

Yay!

I vowed that no matter what my voice did in regards to weirdness and changing, I wouldn't stop singing. I figured I'd adjust along the way, and not "waiting til it settled down" has paid off.

I'm glad that you did, because your singing voice is amazing! I think you have a much better range than I do now.

I told myself that I would stop singing as my voice changed, as yeah.. So many people tell you to wait for it to settle to avoid damaging your voice and stuff, but I found it absolutely impossible to just stop singing, and I'm so glad of that. I think that it can really help with the results, and you're constantly learning and adapting with each new change.

The strangest thing to get used to was that my singing voice started coming from different places in my head/throat/chest, so the feeling that would usually produce, say, a C note, would not produce a C note anymore. Singing the whole way through vocal changes I think makes it easier to sing on key in general, in my experience, because you become really good at adjusting and finding what sounds right. You train your ear more precisely.
