So I've had a deep voice since about the end of eighth grade. Back then, I didn't want to grow up so I held onto my high pitched voice. However, I only used the high pitched voice with my family. I used the deeper voice with my friends. I'm now 16 and realize that this is dumb and why am I doing it, so I just decided to use my deeper voice with my family too. The main reason I decided was because my brother (two years younger than me) had a deeper voice than I did. I have no problem with the deep voice with my friends, but using it with my family feels really weird. Maybe it's because I've wired my brain to use the high pitched voice with them? Does anyone know how long before this doesn't feel weird anymore?

I suspect this is similar to establishing a new habit. And this can vary from person to person & depending on what habit we're talking about. Here's a link to an interesting Huffington Post article on the subject:

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
