hmmm, I wonder what’s for lunch today

What if I changed the tone of a post when editing? Purely hypothetical, of course.

I remember him saying that video games helped him learn english

How did metallica beat spiritbox? Their new album was possibly the most literal definition of mid. 2019 does have an interesting lineup, though idk who picks the music. Trivium’s “Betrayer” wasn’t even the best track on the album.

Good ni- mmm 😴😴😴

I’m usually a quiet type, believe it or not. This is more than I think I have ever talked online before. Before Hexbear and the trans mega I didn’t really do social media.

😁

Ah, the microphone bit is mostly just me wanting to record music/covers of my own, and it mostly applies to screams. I suck at it, so I’m not the best person to ask, but a scream can sound good without a mic while being bad with a mic, and sound good with a mic (and sometimes distortion in post, I haven’t tried that though) and not good without that.

Trying to listen to a spoken voice recording of myself is bad 😔. Warm ups are also bad, as are many of the first recordings of songs. If I had to give advice to people looking to record, DON’T record warm-ups, DON’T record your first few singthroughs, and then start recording with singthroughs synced with a backing instrumental track or accompaniment. I find that I actually don’t hate how I sound once the singing sounds less strained and has a better (less masculine) resonance applied (I’m kind of bad at that second part, so it sounds a bit overly-nasaly sometimes).

What I’m trying to say is, singing can possibly be a nice way to get around voice dysphoria when it comes to things like range extension and applying resonance, dynamics, etc. The toughest part is then applying that to ordinary speech, which almost feels like a completely different field of voice. Almost.

I need to read that book

I was actually so happy this morning. It just hit me how much better my life is now, how much less dull everything feels, how good it feels to just be in my home, screaming and singing, in a skirt. With the school year starting, I have some time where there’s nobody home, and I took that opportunity to just start singing again. I actually recorded some vocals alongside an instrumental track for some songs, and while most sounded bad, one actually sounded decent, in a raw kind of way. It’s much better to study my voice in a singing setting, because it’s less “ugh why do I sound like that” or “This doesn’t sound like someone speaking” and more like “ugh, how do I improve that tone while maintaining pitch?” or “my screams sound like shit, what can I do to improve how they’re picked up on the microphone?”.

Let it be known that transitioning is going to get me back into singing, even though E doesn’t change vocal chords. When I was going through benefits of HRT (literally everything), I was like “It would be nice to have a higher range and a more feminine voice”. I was debating to myself whether or not I was trans in the first place, and I was leaning towards not. Do these sound like cis thoughts? I ask myself that a lot when I think back to a few months ago.

Sorry for rambling, and as a side note, sorry for posting too much . As much as posting is encouraged, I feel like some might think I have been flooding the mega with sub-par comments. I promise, that’s not it, I’m just in a better headspace than I have been in a while, and I feel like sharing some of my thoughts. I’ve never really felt like I’ve wanted to do that before, I’ve always felt like my thoughts and emotions weren’t worth sharing with others.

Love how a side note practically becomes a whole post of it’s own.

You know what, put me on the list! New people first, of course, but running it again could be fun 😁

Oh yeah, that happens to me sometimes too.

Yeah I always take with food.

Yep! You can also use DivestOS’s custom repo for faster updates.

OK, I have an avatar, as well as the artists permission to use it. As much as I would like to take it into GIMP and edit it now, I’m absolutely exhausted. So good night (or day) to you all, and I should have an avatar by this time tommorow!

Some people edit comments to add or remove information/text. I edit comments to fix typos because I’m horrible at using the phone keyboard. We are not the same.

On mobile I just use Jerboa, and I figured out that the upvote thing is probably a Lemmy issue.

Also, (sorry for the slightly off-topic response) have you tried Mull on mobile? It’s like arkenfox/Librewolf, but for android (it’s based on fennec).
