Which voice do you prefer?

Your "normal" voice or your "real voice"?

Listened to a video that I was on,talking to my dog and i wasn't impressed!
I want the voice I think I have

Yes! My actual voice is ridiculously low (I’m female). In my head I sound feminine. Nope!

I have the opposite issue! I sound higher pitched

When I hear myself talking or hear my voice in my head it doesn’t bother me, but when I hear my voice played back on a recording I cringe myself inside out!

I din't mind my 'real' voice because I sound exactly like my sister and my Mum. In fact, in the old days before smart phones, if I remembered I had to do something at home when at work I'd call home and leave a message for myself on the answer phone. But I'd have to say 'hello Janina, it's Janina' which always made my officemates laugh but if I didn't when I got home and heard the message I would think it was my sister.

@Janina 🤣

My actual voice is quite private school- it makes me cringe

My voice is one of the few thigs I like about myself. It's quite low for a woman and can be a bit croaky.

I absolutely loathe with a passion my real voice. In my head it seems much lower and sultry sounding. In real life it high and whiny. I avoid hearing it at all costs becoming mute if a person has a video camera out.

I feel so sorry for people who have to listen to it.

I sound breathy and hesitant, which as a fairly bolshy middle-aged woman annoys me.

I like my voice, it's a bit deeper than average. People are often disappointed by the reality of me when they first meet me after having only spoken on the phone

People on the phone ask me if my mummy is there. That’s what my voice sounds like

I sound like Barbara Windsor on recordings. Even the giggle (which is always fake when I’ve been taking to someone I can’t stand or doing something I don’t want to be and I’m trying to mask like hell).

It makes me want to punch myself.

@JaninaDuszejko I've done that too! I left a message on our answer phone for DH, forgot about it and then when I listened back I thought it was a really odd message from my sister!

My real voice is so much more common than the one I hear. I hate it!
