1. Welcome back!! 2. Thank you for this, it was great to learn about the long s, and letter writing, now I want to write more letters! 3. I can hear a change in your voice, it is indeed different from the last video. I’m happy for you, friend!!
This was so nice! I'm glad you're here on TH-cam ❤️ good luck on your voice getting lower soon!! I'm going to have to look up some of the handwriting styles you mentioned! 😊
Yes and no? My mother is from Bochum, I was born and raised in New York. But I grew up speaking German at home and spent a lot of time visiting family in Bochum and Köln as a kid, so I do consider myself at least partially German!
Glad you are ok, and back! I figured you were focusing on school. Damn, your handwriting is neat! I think your voice has changed, at least from my end of the audio it has. Maybe a fun thing to do is record your favorite tongue twister every month or so and then the following month listen to both the previous one and the new one?
Thank you so much! I think I’m in the in between stage, I just kind of feel like I’ve constantly lost my voice-which has been tricky because my job involves a lot of yelling 😆
@@pinsandweevils I recorded clips of myself singing the same song at 1 week intervals when I was on T, and it really helped me track progress. Before T, I was an alto/low soprano with some tenor range. Now I’m a bass who struggles with high tenor parts!
This is a good tip. I didn’t see any change for three months, and then went out to karaoke with friends, and found my voice cracking all over the place. It can take a while, but it’ll change pretty abruptly once it starts.
Nice to see you again:) I can't write nice letters, my first few sentences are nice and then my handwriting gets super messy I still send letters sometimes though since it's fun and my friends like getting them!
Thank you! I feel you, I always start out with good handwriting and good intentions and then I get too excited about what I’m writing and write so fast that my handwriting goes downhill!
Glad you’re back! Just wanted to say that I completely forgot you went on T, and even without knowing, you read as much more masculine to me at the beginning of this video. A good sign, even if you don’t notice it yet! Also, are you German, because your pronunciation is flawless?
Thank you! I’m really self conscious about my German pronunciation, so that means a lot-I grew up in the US but my mom is from Bochum and I spoke a lot of German at home! I’m actually planning on doing my masters in Heidelberg or Bonn.
Another great video Marius 🙂 And as others have said, I can definitely hear your voice breaking slightly at points. It'll come. I want to write more letters! Do you have a PO Box?
@@pinsandweevils Cool. I found some nice paper on Amazon UK called Three Candlesticks, seems a bit more reasonable than Townsend's (though not as lovely I'm sure). I'm obsessed with the Townsend's channel though 😂
My voice took 5 months before it properly started cracking so don't worry:) I think it's not only genetics but also age. I started T at 21 and I feel like it defenetly hit me (and friends my age or older) differentliy then it did ppl that start at 19 or younger.
Your voice does sound different, although it took me a second to realize why! You have a lot more vocal fry than before, and that can be very subtle sometimes! I love that yellow waistcoat and necktie combo on you, it’s very happy to look at, so I hope it makes you feel happy to wear. Thank you for the video, I learned a lot! Congrats on the three months
Hi! Good to see your fine, I'd actually started to wonder if uni kept you from us or something even more sinister. Your German pronounciation is top! And your video neat, informing and entertaining as usual, thanks a lot! Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
You gotta practice with some voice lessons (there's free ones on youtube) to train your voice down, the T only gets you so far. Thank you for this great video dude
I also learned the old German script as well. I found it useful 40 years ago when when my dad started getting letters from elderly relatives in Finland. My American born father couldn’t couldn’t read their handwriting. Because it was based that old German script - Scandinavians who went to school between the wars were taught the pre-WW2 script. So he’d get a letter. I would read it out loud because I could pronounce the Finnish but not understand it and then my father translated from listening to me. A bit complicated but it worked.
Hi! On the long s, there is a quotation to be added, _the above rules do not necessarily apply to handwriting, as long s is generally restricted to being used before short s medially and finally (e.g. poſseſs) in most English handwritten letters and documents since the 18th century._
The long ſ was used longer in American english than it was in Europe. Especially in handwriting. In print, it lasted until the mid 1800s in some bibles. Aside from the german sharp ß
I learned Sütterlin when I was fourteen from a book I bought in Hamburg and used it to write to my grandmother, which she really liked because it reminded her of her own mother. I also wrote in it for the devious purpose of making sure that nobody else could read my writing in school (note: English writing in a script designed for German can be done if one tries hard enough!), which always frustrated my teachers.
Oh, yeah, I did the same thing! I wrote notes in Sütterlin because I sometimes zoned out in class and wrote short stories or story ideas, and I didn’t want to get busted by my teachers 😆
First, your voice has changed very slightly...it went from sounding like a young woman to sounding like a young woman that smokes a pack a day...not where you want to be but still. However, it has made a more noticeable difference at your jaw line.
Yeah, I’m at a very unfortunate stage where I just constantly feel like I’ve lost my voice. I hadn’t noticed anything different about my face, but I have to admit I’m flattered by that jawline comment! 😆
@@pinsandweevils i was thinking about something though It took me about 3 years for puberty to really change my voice. I hit puberty when I was about 10 (young for most males) and it was not until I was 13 that people started noticing that my voice was deeper than most of the people in my class. So before that, my voice didn't sound different enough for the kids my age to notice...and I am sure that if I was speaking with an adult voice with a bunch of 10 - 12 year old kids....I am sure people would have noticed😅🤓

Yaaaaaay you're back
I practice SECRETARY HAND! My abſolute favorite. It’s way different þan roundhand.
Well, this was an excellent suggestion from The Algorithm. I look forward to more.
Are you German? I wasn't aware but your pronunciations are on point :)
Yes and no? My mother is from Bochum, I was born and raised in New York. But I grew up speaking German at home and spent a lot of time visiting family in Bochum and Köln as a kid, so I do consider myself at least partially German!
@@pinsandweevils ah, that explains it :D

Dude, it might be hard to notice on oneself if the changes are so slow, but your voice has DEFINITELY dropped noticably compared to the last video!!

Pen angle and pen grip is very poor. Use original natural wax to save the environment.
That was so neat, I didn't know a lot of those things! Congrats on starting T!! I agree with TinyAngryCrafts, you do sound a little bit different :)
Marius, try singing to gauge how your voice has altered. You may be very surprised. :)
This is a good tip. I didn’t see any change for three months, and then went out to karaoke with friends, and found my voice cracking all over the place. It can take a while, but it’ll change pretty abruptly once it starts.
@@kallandar13 Did you record your changes in pitch? Could be entertaining in the future, given some time and space. Cheers from Vancouver.
@@l.m.2404 I did! I actually picked a song and sang it weekly, recording the change. Had to shift it down the octave eventually, of course!
@@kallandar13 Sounds like a great doc! I gotta ask, what song did you choose?
My apologies to Marius for hijacking the conversation.
Nice to see you again:)

@@pinsandweevils Oh nice! I’m in basically the same situation - grew up in Canada but speaking German at home.
first of all hi
second the angle of the camera makes it look like he's standing on the edge of a cliff looking down on me
this video rules btw
Another great video Marius 🙂 And as others have said, I can definitely hear your voice breaking slightly at points. It'll come. I want to write more letters! Do you have a PO Box?
Sadly I don’t-but it might be worth setting one up, I’ll have to look into it!

Good job. Ill be showing those original methods on my channel soon. You beat me to it! lol.

Glad to know you're safe

When your voice first changes, your brain is still "calibrated" to your old pitch, so you may unconsciously raise it back up.
You gotta practice with some voice lessons (there's free ones on youtube) to train your voice down, the T only gets you so far. Thank you for this great video dude
Hey nice to see you back! Great video :D
Your voice definitely has dropped a bit. Also looking forward to more videos!
*takes notes for when I write you letters* you may have to deal with my copperplate though. Just for fun.
I put forth the Instagram suggestion!! Excellent video, I'm glad to see you back. Also, congrats on starting T!
Thank you! And thank you so much for the suggestion!
Fo The first writing looks like Bickman Font.
Huzzah, your back Sir !
excellent video!
Thank you so much!!!
this makes me wanna re-learn script and write illegible letters to random kids in my school
Do you still use the long s when combined with an h for sh?
Which keyboard has Long S!?
Which is thr nib that you are using ?
Thanks .. 🙂

If it works, it works! 😆 Yeah, I’m absolutely fascinated by the history of Kurrent and Sütterlin and really hope they come back into fashion
Marius! So glad you are back - especially with such delightful wax seal goods!
Your voice is definitely changing, I promise 🏴
Thank you! I went back through some of my old videos to try to find a piece of footage and definitely noticed a slight difference 😆

Thank you! I had no idea
he is now my favorite headache relief youtuber 🥺
I love the idea of being a headache relief TH-camr, thank you so much!!!!
MARISU MY BOYYYY!! I MISSED YOU!!!
I just bought sealing wax. Kept looking dreamily at all those elegant letters in "Nicolas Le Floch"... :)
