I love singing and I used to think I was quite good due to family and the like saying 'hey, you're quite good at singing'. I got into amateur dramatics, joined a group that did nothing but musicals and performed in several - proudest moment was when we did Evita at the request of Really Useful. Singing Lloyd Webber stuff is hard! I was never a soprano though, I was an alto so I never got to sing the interesting bits.
Then I started T and my voice broke. And I lost any singing ability I had. It was so hard for me because I couldn't even sing along to stuff on the radio, I'd be singing away but no sound would come out. I went from singing to absolutely everything to not singing at all. It's slowly coming back but it's taking a long time and now I've kind of got used to not singing which is extremely sad. I have no idea what kind of range I'm going to end up with, although I did manage to get all the high notes in Come What May from Moulin Rouge fairly recently so that gives me hope! I would be so amused if I end up as a tenor.
