AAS Effects on Voice

[TDK1]

I am about to do my first cycle soon -- an 8 week cycle of Test-Enanthate and EQ, with a little boost of Test-prop. I'm a 28 yr old male. Cycle would be this:

T-Enth 500mg/ EQ 400mg a week. Front load boost with Test-Prop for first week and in last week of cycle while T-Enth gets out of my system.

I've just recently became concerned with the effects that AAS cycle would have on my singing voice. I'm a tenor (the high male voice range) and I'm very worried about vocal changes and losing part or all of my singing range permanently. I don't know how much AAS it would take before altering one's voice, but I'm hoping the bro's in the know could chime in and share what they know or think.

I don't know of any effects on the male voice but if you're a woman forget about it.....you should be OK but again I'm not 100% sure....

dude if you are gonna make money singing then stay away from gear. there are studies saying it will mess up your voice. and have you ever heard ronnie coleman or chris cormier speak. they have real high voices.

I will stay away from continuous gear. But what about that single cycle I listed above? Coleman and Cormier have high voices, huh?

Still need more bro's to chime in and give their takes and knowledge.

jc21, I'm not doubting you bro, but because this makes me curious for some strange reason, what were the studies? The two biggest guys I know that have been on non-stop for years both sound like Vin Diesel.

 

[jc21]

well i dont have the studies of course...which makes me look like an idoit. but i read them a few years ago when i was deciding on using or not. i am not saying it will do it for everyone, it hasnt happened to me. but there is the chance, a small chance but a chance. i guess you just have to figure out if it is worth it to you.

I suppose its just one of the genetically predetermined variables that may or may not get you. For example, juice won't turn everyone into a lying prick like g-dogg.

 

[SuKY_GeNeTiCs]

So juice can give women deeper voices, then the opposite is true for males?

No, the opposite wouldn't be true, if it were, then men would have higher voices if they took Testosterone. Testosterone is what helps viritilize the voices (makes them deep) during adolescence, etc.

I just wonder about stages in adulthood while not taking long cycles of AAS and using the AAS I listed above in just a single cycle.

I was thinking about his voice when reading this thread...my guess is that g-dogg's voice has been altered from gear use, but only having talked with him a few times I can't say for sure, but he did have a voice that you would not want for singing...

I don't know if it helps or not, but here the link to voice therapy site with use of steroids... maybe that shoud help a bit... http://web.nmsu.edu/~lleeper/pages/Voice/workman/implications.htm

If you make money by signing, I wouldn't even get anywhere close to steroids. Otherwise, it's not that bad and you might be lucky... I see no voice change after few cycles. But I have never asked anyone if they noticed it either. They might tell me something different...

What's your guess on the effects of just the first and only single 8-week cycle as the one I listed above?

 

[RussianBro]

The nature of using steroids is a very interesting subject... You have your first and only one AAS cycle. Guess what happen next? You notice that there were not many side effects and you want to run ONE MORE...
IMO I don't think you will notice much voice change with that much gear... Your voice glands are fully developed at age 26, so there is not much you have to worry about. But once again, if they change, don't come back and say "but you told me."
I think honestly you would be just fine... I am still running similar cycle to yours, but it's 600 cyp/400 deca/ 25 dbol. I have two more weeks to go. I haven't noticed any voice change whatsoever. I am 26...
So, it's up to you... The worst thing can happen your voice might change and you might find some other good job, but you will still be a super star in your church quier.

If I was making a movie with a 500lb ogre in it, it would have g-dogg's voice

 

[slobberknocker]

Anybody ever heard of Steve Courson. Lineman for the Steelers in the seventies. Benched 600 lbs. He's waiting for a heart transplant right now. Anyway, I saw him in an interview and had no clue what he was saying because his voice was so deep.

 

[BigAndy69]

Don't do it!!!

Two of my buddies started juice and it changed there voices. One just started his sceond cycle 525mg of test a week with 37.5mg of Tren ED and his voice changed considerably in less than 2 weeks.

If you do decide to juice, stay away from the androgenic stuff especially test and tren.

 

[prophet]

i would think androgens would make your woice deeper...i find it funny that ronnie and chris have high pitched voices...probably genetic

 

[bmit]

Deepend my voice - test +tren

 

[Nutrient-Nut]

I just can't see how it would make a guy's voice higher, because I know guys that have juiced heavily for 15 years and they all have masculine deep voices. Who really knows what Ronnie Coleman and Chris Cormier sounded like before they started juice? And how do we know that this wasn't a side-effect from something else like GH? I think that that's the way their voices always sounded. Look at Arnold, he started juicing at age 13 and did for years and he surely doesn't have a high voice.

AAS's have a very long list of side-effects, but for males, I've never seen voice changes listed as one of the known side-effects.

[TDK1]

Well damn. I already have my gear and everything... but to now have second thoughts. This really sucks. I still don't know what to do. I don't know if this one 8 week cycle will change my voice permanently or not.

 

[Sigmund Roid]

I am on 1 gram of test, and my voice sounds like Hulk Hogan now. Everybody notices it, so I cough sometimes and say that I have a throat infection. I like it a lot though.

 

[icelandic]

DHT factor ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that test itself was biologically active only in muscle tissue and that other secondary sex characteristics were dependant on DHT ? If this were true wouldn't it be possible to use a light to moderate dose of test along with a 5ar inihbitor like proscar or saw palemtto and sidestep the possibility of vocal damage ? This probably would not work for something like tren which is already highly androgenic, but then again I highly doubt any vocalist is seriously considering fina.

You're confusing people dude. Coleman and Cormier with high voices? Come on!

 

[icelandic]

DHT ?

Bump on the dht question....
Any idea vets?

 

[MrRTTB]

You have to be carefull. I've heard if you do fina and winny toherther you will end up singing the "fina-winny tong song" all night long, and this just cant be good for your voice..hehe, just f*cking with ya. I don't think aas effects voice if taken in moderate doses.

 

[Spectre]

I dropped at least 1/2 octave on my first cycle, a fine side by me.. On the other hand look at Coleman and Tyson, those guys sound like someone kicked them in the nuts. We are all so very different that you won't know until you get there. Are you willing to risk it?

 

[TDK1]

How old were you, Spectre, when you did your first cycle?

 

[Spectre]

14... JK. Finished it on my 31st Birthday. Another observation is that my diaphram became much stronger as well and I have better control over it too. I can yell MUCH more forcefully than before. I guess you could switch to metal / grung if you had too. :0

 

[Warmachine]

if youre worried about your voice deepening, maybe you shouldnt do a GRAM of gear for your FIRST cycle

with all your gear you could squeeze 3, maybe 4 cycles out of it

the higher your dose the more pronounced your side effects will be, so just do small cycles so you see how you respond to it. you can always do more cycles in the future

why dont you try 250mg test a week for 8 weeks

or, if you want to see what effect test has on you, use that prob eod till you run out of it(assuming you have about 3-4 weeks worth) if you dont like the sides it out of your system MUCH faster than test-e or eq

dont know much about voice deepening, but its an androgenic side effect and if youre scared of it stay away from adrogenic gear like test(i know all steroids are adrogenic, but some are less so than others)

Hi, I'm a tenor and the answer you are looking for is probably in doses of oxandrolone woman. A maximum of 15 milligrams is not supposed to affect female voices. This should serve as a tenor. I personally would not use steroids if you're a serious singer. A serious singer is not necessarily a guy who sings for money. Serious singer in any style is a guy with serius vocal training.
Perhaps a healthier alternative is to use isolated soy protein.

PD: I do not care who criticize me for replying to an old topic that has many years because this will help someone in the future looking information. All the people who have posted here are obviously not singers with vocal training.
