Well, I always was sent to isolated stations during elementary school, and my mom keeps telling me to lower my voice, so I guess that's a YES! *lower your voice!*

My voice is in between soft and normal. When I'm at work and a customer walks near me and I ask them if they need help 70% of the time they don't respond.
My supervisor and coworkers say I need to speak up, but I feel like I'm yelling at the customers if I go any louder.

I could blast my old 5.1 surround song system at full volume and my voice could keep up with it. In middle school if an entire class was talking I'd get singled out because I was the loudest. My voice carries like nothing else.

Fairly loud, though I'm not sure whether it's related to AS, or if it's because my father's nearly deaf.

My dad and youngest brother are always trying to make me talk quieter. My brother has to wake up because of me talking to someone and he is in the next room. He claims it sounds like I am in the same room.

Not normally, no, but I tend to get louder as I get more passionate or excited about what I'm talking about.

I couild not answer the poll. My voice is either too loud or too soft, depending on the circumstances.

Apparently it's too soft for most people, seeing as I usually get people saying "What?" or "I'm sorry?" or "Can you repeat that?". To me, it sounds average, sometimes when I have to "raise" my voice, it seems too loud, but everyone says it's not that loud when I do. I don't know, sounds okay to me. :/

Mine is always too soft, or too loud. It is never just right.

Unless I am playing, then it is LOUD.

My voice is usually soft and somewhat monotone unless I get excited talking about something then I speak manically-- but not loud.
