  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Do you like your voice?

To affirm your masculinity when answering the phone you should let out a loud growl before asking who is speaking.

It has been years since I have heard a recording of my voice. I am not too bothered by how I sound but I am told that I sound really manly and older than I actually am.
 
Oh god, this. No, I also don't like my voice much at all. I think I sound okay when I'm talking, but listening to a recording is awful. The "gay" in my voice is SO obvious, its a bit embarrassing. My voice is always a tad bit deeper than I can hear on my own. *shudder*
 
Most people don't like their voice because it sounds so foreign to them on a recording. I also think my voice sounds weird when I hear it recorded, but when I answer the phone at my parents house, people always mistake me for my father - who has a really nice voice. So I can't sound that bad after all ;)
 
Some one told me I sound like Will Smith. I like his voice, but I feel like my voice is "stuffier" sounding. :/
 
I don't, and not particularly happy about it when I get nervous. Any suggestions as to how one can improve his/her voice?
 
I don't like my voice at all. :(

I am grateful though. I overcame a lisp (not a gay lisp, an actual real nasty one) a few years ago all by myself, and now there's no trace of it. It didn't take too long for it to become second nature to just speak without one. :) Oddly enough I know for a fact that it's gone but nobody said anything once it was gone, despite the fact I was given so much shit when I had it (the primary motivation for ridding myself of it of course - I was fed up).

My problem with my voice is the timbre. My voice sounds gay I'm sure. I can deepen it at will if I want to and make it sound better, but it's not really second-nature. I'll usually only do it if the video-cameras are rolling. :D
 
I use to get compliments on my voice when I worked at a call center--so, I guess some people like it.


Just don't let me sing....:mad:
 
Jesus Christ, must we hate everything about ourselves?

First it's body and face... and now voice?

I'm fine with my voice; I don't hate it and I don't give two fucks what people think of it.

If you think I sound like a girl -- then you know what? -- I have a problem with your hearing. Yeah, I don't like how you hear.

Sheesh.
 
I wish my voice was a bit more manly and rougher, but it can't be changed.

Isn't it odd that you sound different when recorded.

Hate is such a strong word.

It's more like I dislike my voice.

It's one of the minor things I would like to change, if possible.

If I can't, I can live with it.

But why do you even have to like it? Or dislike it?

There's absolutely nothing wrong or right with your voice. It's your voice.
 
I despise my voice. It sounds deeper in my own head than on recordings, where it sounds high and 'weak.' I hate it so much I'm going to see a voice coach.
 
Not my favorite attribute, but I've gotten used to it. Others seem to like it, though.

As long as I don't have to hear myself then I'm good lol
 
Piggy, your voice is your voice. It's the luck of the draw; a voice coach can help you to maximize your voice to the best of its abilities, but he or she cannot change the natural construction of it. It's set.

I would understand if you were trying to pursue something such as singing, radio or voice-overs, where one would need to know the strengths and weaknesses of the voice and/or the amount of work one receives is proportional to one's voice. However, for everyday life, it should not be a concern.
 
i've never thought about it much but yeah i guess i like my own voice.
 
I can not stand the sound of my voice. :eek: But it doesn't seem to bother others. All my life I have spoken in public, from the stage to radio to teaching to seminars. Other people say I sound fine, but I still can't stand to listen to myself with the exception of scripted and rehearsed parts.

I used to be reluctant to speak extemporaneously, but since I had a live radio show forced upon me almost 20 years ago, I just say, "what the hey" and go with it. ;)

Nobody has thrown tomatoes at me, so maybe I judge my self to harshly.
 
I like mine. I had to record my answers for practice AP exams in French and I think I sounded pretty good. I think it definitely sounds deeper to yourself than it really is.
 
I'm fine with mine. If I had to change it I would make it a little louder because maybe I'm a little too soft-spoken most of the time... But eh, I'm a shy guy anyways so it doesn't really bug me.
