Do you have an unusual-sounding voice?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm high-pitched (sing alto).

Whrn it finally broke (at 15) I was so excited I asked a music girlfriend if she'd noticed the change but she said hardly - it had only dropped about 3 tones.

A few years later I saw a speech therapist (my mum thought my mumbling was due to something other than fear of saying the wrong thing, and I'd made it into an art form), and she asked why I talked like a child. I said people thought I was my mum at the telephone (I thought same inflexion, but I was told by one, no, same high pitch). Anyway, she worked with me and I developed a baritone voice (more "manly"!) but the reverberation really hurt my throat, so I reverted back to the squickyness - at least that was the real me.

I have a very deep slightly coarse voice for a female.

I have also been asked as long as I can remember by strangers "Where are you from with that accent?", and my closer people have joked about my "accent".

Yeah I think my voice is odd, kind of geeky, but I don't know how else to describe it.

Yeah, I have a reasonably low, very quiet, often mumbly voice. Fairly flat accent unless I'm intentionally trying to have one (I really love using my Southern accent when I get the chance).

People say that it drives them crazy when I speak because they can never hear me or make out what I'm saying...although when I read aloud, I use a much stronger and more heavily inflected voice, and when I sing, it's the same way.

People always seem so surprised that I can sing well after they hear my occasional mumbles =)

Kind of sound gay, I am often confused with some who is gay. Strange though there is someone at work with the same voice as me but unlike me he is the receiving end of gay jokes. But the guy is much cooler then I am. His poor attempt to be cool only makes him cool you should hear him say “what’s happening blood”

I have been described by girls as having a sexy voice on the phone

I used to have problems modulating volume when I was younger. Like I would speak too soft for the distance someone is standing away from me. Although I have managed to completely turn this around and no-one tells me my voice is too quiet or mumbled anymore

I have a Southern accent, but it's not really all that unusual.

I have a very nasal voice. I could change it - as I am quite the voice mimic - but then I'd feel I was being someone I wasn't. Or putting on airs, or something. It would feel like lying.

Yes.
I have a higher pitched voice, apparently it has a lot to do with my height?
Past reasons of self stupidity stunted my growth.
I sound like a lower pitched girl or a young pre-pubescent boy thats very stoned
sometimes I slur my words too but I do this a lot less now.

I have a deep voice (bass-baritone). I used to speak to the ladies at my (then girlfriend now ex-wife") work. They had never seen me and grew pitures in their mind of what the owner of the voice looked like. They imagines 35 yr old, African-American, Tall and broad. THey got me! I was 20, short, white and skinny. Just didn't have a voice to match. LOL

I have a robotic sounding voice.

I sound like I have an accent but I think I got it from being deaf so it be separate from my condition.

Many on the spectrum seem to have difficulties in inflection. My voice is deep and usually monotone.

I have a higher pitched voice than you would think I have. And it's very annoying. When I go through drive-throughs, the person in the speaker is always asking me "Is that all, ma'am?" And I suddenly lower my voice about two octaves and respond "Yeah. "at's it."

My voice has a high timbre. And I really don't like it. People on the phone are often mistaking me for a woman.

When I was 13 the kids in my class started complaining about my whining, monotonous voice. I was very upset and from then on started to deliberately modulate my voice more and try to speak more assertively. This got to be a habit, although I'm probably still whiny when I'm off guard....
