I want to hear you sing anon :3

No
My voice is bad and I'm not confident in my songwriting skills
Plus I don't know how to play the lute or guitar and can't do the accompaniment

You know, if you refuse to sing in the first place you'll never start singing regularly enough to improve. Not having a talent for something just means you need to work harder to be good at it.

Probably going to happen at some point, honestly. I should really include some kind of dart gun for taking specimens back alive

Yeah butI'm a tranny, I'm pretty self conscious about my voice

Can people 'change' voices? Is that a thing? It is probably ignorant of me to suggest you still "just try" but I will continue to insist on it.
>>55026442
Sorta? It takes a lot of effort and practice. My voice isn't terrible and speaking I can be convincing, but I've never sung properly before, and I'm worried it'll out me.
Maybe if I compose something better I can justify the risk, but the thing I wrote is a bit too simple. It's like a shittier version of Stones from ultima.
>>55026442
Voice training is a thing. You can work to modulate the tone of your voice to be more masculine or feminine, using basically the same training singers use to expand their vocal range. It doesn't quite change the voice's timbre in some cases, but it's totally doable.
