I've gotten enough questions asking why my voice is changing (both happy about it and disappointed) that I figured I'd make a post mentioning it.
Pretty much, the Hat in Time video was made about a month in advanced so it would be ready while I was still moving (seeing I couldn't work during the trip over), and so I was trying to ensure a good transition in regards to what my voice MIGHT sound like in the next video after, because I've been on Testosterone for the past while, and wanted to make sure the voice change wasn't too shocking
When recording the Hat in Time video, I made sure to talk (or try to talk) in a slightly lower octave. Though it seems like upon recording the upcoming Noah video it was a liiiittle more subtle of a vocal change (so far) than I expected, so if my voice sounds higher-pitched again (but also not the exact same as before) THIS video, then that's why.
So TLDR; I had a deeper voice in the Hat in Time video because I thought my next video would sound deeper (due to taking T), and didn't want it to make the transition of my voice slightly less shocking, but it turns out my voice still sounds higher, meaning my next video will probably not sound that deep in pitch.
I try not to talk too too much about the trans stuff, mostly because I prefer people JUST seeing me as a guy rather than people making a big deal over me being a 'trans youtuber' (MAYBE that will change in the future?) especially with what I've seen of other, far more openly Trans Youtubers getting hit with a lot of pretty shitty stuff like mass reportings and being refused sponsor deals for being 'controversial' due to them being open about gender identity stuff. (In fact I've already had a little bit of hate myself just from having a trans flag on my Bluesky profile, though most of THAT flavor of hate was on my VidIQ video, first time I'd ever been called a slur and it's from AI bros lmao, go ask ChatGPT how to be more original)
But nonetheless I figured it'd be important enough to mention here, seeing it's a direct change you can HEAR in my content and it's not like I'm trying to directly "hide" any of it or be too closeted. Been on T for like 2 and a half months and I'm hoping for a good voice drop soon! I've always been pretty tired of getting dysphoria over hearing my own voice/editing videos, so I've been looking forward to it for a long while, and it's thanks to your guy's support that I could even afford it at all.
Sorry for the long post again, just thought I'd inform WHY I sound deeper there, and will sound pretty much back to normal in the next, and WHY it might get slowly deeper in the future. (Hopefully this post doesn't come off too weird? I'm not really used to talking about this kind of stuff online so I wasn't entirely sure how to go about it?)
Anyways, I love y'all. uhhh Magic the Noah video this month probably go commit some trans wrongs in my honor, thank you.
