Does that include quietly? If so, then yes.

I sure do, though never to the point of being told that I couldn't be heard. Growing up with a family who enjoyed their shouting matches wore me out on speaking loudly very quickly.

No, I do the opposite - I talk much too loudly. I prefer to think of it as "using the Royal Canterlot Voice". 8)

Depends on the situation. I'm either too loud, or too soft. When I'm talking to people I'm uncomfortable with, I tend to be monotonous and soft-spoken. Same in public spaces. With people I am comfortable with, I'm often too loud (I don't usually notice until someone says something).

Yes, I have been told my whole life I need to talk louder.

My voice is deep and can travel, but it's usually soft when I'm talking to someone I don't know. My voice gets louder when I get more involved with what someone is talking about and usually raises to an adequate tone of voice. It will only get loud in tone if I'm as immersed as I can in the talk or conversation I'm having with someone.
