Azu Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) If so, why? - This topic has popped up a few times in the Discord chat, and the general consensus is that people seem to really dislike their voices.That said, I hate my voice, because it's a bit too high pitched. Doesn't quite suit me all that well. I cringe anytime I hear it. :vAlso, feel free to provide Vocaroo recordings so we can judge your horrible voice tell you how nice your voice actually is Edited November 28, 2015 by Azurex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Well I was that dorky kid who spent hours recording fake radio shows on a tape recorder since I'm 6. I still has most of my later stuff which hasn't been taped over. It lasted until YouTube started to catch up in popularity in late 2006-early 2007. Then I started making YouTube videos which probably was the natural evolution LOL.I wouldn't say I'm an absolute fan of my voice either, but I certainly don't mind hearing it on recorded media in the slightest. More a no than a yes as for the question. Edited November 28, 2015 by Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisek Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I used to dislike my voice, but that has changed recently, and I don't find it so bad at all. I have a major problem with mumbling, though. I was always shy and never wanted to be heard, and that stuck with me to my adulthood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troj Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I've gotten used to it, actually.I've had the chance to hear my voice twice this month: once, in a friend's parenting podcast, and then, in a few soundbites in a furry documentary by Elbi Ortiz. My only complaint was that I stuttered a bit in the former, and was kind of dry and mildly spergy in the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerig Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 i always feel like mine is a bit high, but then whenever I hear it in a recording or something its really deepso I dunnoI'm indifferent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallium Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 im surprised so many hate their voice.I dont like mine, Im trying to train mysepf to get it deeper, maybe if I get on T that'll help, or placebo or something.Having to hear your voice reflect back to you on a recording is even worse....and heh, if you think thats bad, they say your voice sounds deeper to you and higher pitched to everyone Has to do something with resonance in the vocal cords. Good luck to those wjo already thought they were too high pitched, think about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to those wjo already thought they were too high pitched, think about that.If I remember correctly it was that the bass frequencies travel through your skull and to your ears much better than they travel through the air, so you think your own voice is deeper than it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizy Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I sound like shit. I've been told by people that I have a cute voice, but I don't think so. It sounds somewhat deep and I sound tired all the fucking time.On a positive note, I can apparently do a decent Hank Hill impersonation.

Maybe not to the extreme some people would like, though.

Guest Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I've been told my voice is firm, determined and deep and that I should be a dubber even. That's when I speak italian.

Crunchy Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I like my voice, mainly because I love doing impersonations and weird voices and such, so I have my vocal chords to thank for that.....my singing voice however, that's another subject completely, I cant sing for shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troj Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 There's an interesting documentary on Netflix right now called Do I Sound Gay? It's about a gay guy who decides his voice sounds "too gay," and sets out to a) figure out what the hell that means, exactly, and b) get the vocal training to change it.
