I don't really have an idea of how I sound when I talk but when i hear it in videos or clips or something, Im just like Ugh ! I sound like a little innocent girl (Im 20) and annoying ! It sounds as if Im holding my nose you know like when you go diving. It sucks ! Cause your voice really has an impact on who you are; two people can say a joke and one might sound like the joke's on him. I feel that it is literally in my way of being who I want to be. Im also an aspiring reporter so voice is kind of important? Ill watch myself in these tapes from my broadcasting class and have nothing else to think but "thats not me". Theres absolutely nothing I can do about it! Unless Im unaware!

    I'm 23 and mine sounds like a little girl. But I have 4 different voices I like to use depending on who i'm talking to and what mood i'm in. I only hate two of my voices

    Get a voice coach then.

    Not many people like their own voices.

    Female nasal voices are some of the most grating to listen to. It's not something you're born doing (talking nasally), it's an acquired tone much like an accent. I always wonder if the women who speak that way, know they're doing it. It sounds so condescending and bitchy.

    My voice is horrible. I use to have a speech impedement, and I needed speech therapy to get it fixed up (I still have the speech therapy almost 10 years later). Now I don't stutter as much, but my voice is fairly deep and mono-tonal now. I have a voice which makes me sound perpetually bored, depressed or about to fall asleep.
