The title says it all. I finally made more videos on my YouTube channel, despite my voice dysphoria.
Basically the problem is that before my transition I was fine with my voice, not because I liked it, but because I was used to it. When my voice changed (to better!!!), it didn’t change as much as I would have wanted and since then I’ve been very uncomfortable with my voice. I took some singing lessons, because that can help with the overall voice use, but to this day I struggle. I especially feel really self conscious if I have to talk loud. This is new for me. I have always been quite loud and excited person. My voice dysphoria made me more timid. I spoke softly and stayed silent a lot.
I have really wanted to get back on track making videos. How I started was from Instagram stories. Knowing that the clips will disappear after a while helped. Then I made some reels (and tried out Tiktok, but hated it). Now I was able to finally listen to myself long enough to make over 20 minute video! I’m so proud of myself.
The videos
The first one I made is about how people in Finland have been asking me why am I quitting comics. Well, I’m not. So this video explains that.
The second one is about the joy I find in making comics. It kind of continues from where I was left on the first video. I could never stop making comics, because they are so dear to me!
I have just made a third one and that’s scheduled to appear on my YouTube channel quite soon. If you have any ideas on what I should talk about on the videos, please drop me a comment! I’m running out of ideas quite fast.
Also I made one almost half an hour video where I talk more about my art process and show my art from my archives. That one is Patreon exclusive for the $10/month tier, where people get to see my beautiful works in process! If you have the cash and want to support me, go see that one on Patreon!
Ps. If you didn’t already notice, I also updated Millenials Kill comic today! You should totally go read it!
