Trans pro tip:
You don't have to stress too much about ensuring you always do fem/masc/neutral voice around close friends and family who accept you. To them, you just sound like you.

When either of us are thinking hard and concentrating on other stuff, or tired or not with good posture and breath support or whatever, it's easy for voices to go to shit. But folks who know you for you? It simply doesn't matter. You're you. You sound like you. Just a you who is distracted or tired or whatever else

@faithisleaping I do focus the most at the start of conversations - especially on the phone. Cis people tend to quickly lock you into a gender and keep you there regardless. So give them as many signals as you can up front

@faithisleaping I still stress about it when I hear recordings - the worst is distorted feedback in video calls - but then again I've never really liked hearing myself. So meh. I just do my usual thing and somehow it works out "well enough".
