I don't like my voice :(

I think I sound horrible. Sometimes I think I sound kinda like a boy. Urgh. I have a english accent but I wish I didn't have the essex accent. It sounds soo chavvy and horrible. I would rather sound a bit posh or something.

Trust me you don't wanna sound posh. I get asked if i went to finishing school lol my voice is pretty deep too and generally gets mixed reactions...some find it sexy, others authoritative lol

Thanks for your reply. I am glad I'm not alone. If I did sound posh, I would sound stuck up.

God.... my accent is hard. Scottish, Dundonian, East coast...... I hate pure Dundonian words..... I try and speak "English" with a twang of "Scottish" but my "Dundonian accent" shines through now and then. We sound like Neds believe me HappyCheeks. I love the English accents!!!

A lot of people don't think I am from Dundee as I don't speak broad Dundonian it's really handy cause my family are from all over Scotland. Got family from Glasgow and believe me have you ever heard a "Wedgie" speak? Lol!!!

You tube places in the UK and you will find we all have "weird" "horrible" "funny" tones of voices and accents

I think everyone finds their voice a bit weird, ever hear yourself recorded? It makes me cringe when I do, I wonder "how do people stand me?" lol

Or when you have been recorded singing!!! argh cringeworthy is not the word lol!!

Love the Irish accent

I hate my voice too. I don't have an accent, but I do sound alot like Marge Simpson. Except I mumble too, so I sound like a mumbling Marge Simpson.

Sometimes I am so self conscious that it makes me not want to talk in public at all.

Thanks for saying you like English accents. I like Scottish accents myself. Thanks for your reply.

hehe I have recorded myself before and it does make me cringe as well. But I'm starting to get use to my voice after listening it so many times.

aww I'm sorry

You should hear mine

I have a scouse accent and I can't bear it at times. I sound awful lol
I cringe when I hear myself it is so embarrassing

But if I heard your voice, I would probably think you have a nice accent

I jst love English accents so I know definately I would love your voice!

As for my voice, I have always loved it...its a little high and sounds very young.....I could be one of those women talking on those porno sites LOL......Even though I am 67, My voice sounds like 27...maybe I could get a part time job on one of those sites...LOL

Hello HappyCheeks. Honestly, I don't like my voice very much either. :P lol I find that I sound like a 10 year old. (I'm 17 by the way.) It makes me wonder how some people can stand me. But whenever I ask my friends about my voice, they say it's sounds fine. So I guess they've grown used to it? :] Btw, I think your voice would sound quite well if I ever met you. I LOVE English accents. ^_^

That sounds good Thanks for saying you like English accents.

Thank you I think I have a calming, soft voice. I don't think it's too bad.

I must admit that I am really lucky. I like the way my voice sounds naturally, but I am also a natural mimic. Put me in a place for a few hours and I will assume the accent pretty well.

It just happens.

I'm from a region of the US that has a profound accent (you should hear my family!) but people always are shocked to hear that I was born there.

Yeah, I hear you. I wish my voice was deeper. It just does not carry and one of the reasons I avoid bars is that I lose my voice trying to talk over all the noise. Fortunately, my New Yawk accent is not too bad but it's still there and is recognizable. Oh, well . . . there's not much I can do about it, I guess. Frankly, I have worse problems!!

i grew up on long island, ny...so i have a ny accent. spent about 7 years in michigan...when i was there people would say..."oh you're from brooklyn!" no. when i came back to long island people would say.."oh you are canada/wisconsin (heh?)" no.

either way..i didn't sound right...

now many years later i still have a touch of the midwest left in me...certain words it sneaks out...

i used to have to speak in front of large crowds for work...i hate the sound of my voice...(i think everyone does)...but i try hard not to listen to it...i figure if people were listening & laughing & paying attention & getting my message then that's all that mattered.

I like both! My cousins are all in Scotland, and so when I go and visit them I pick up the accent really fast. When I was with my parents, my cousin commented that I didn't sound as "Canadian" as my parents; and that was a good thing! lol, Perspective.

I think my voice is deep, but then I hear a recording and I'm like wth! I sound like a kid! I think I sound like a preppy 16 year old. I hate listening to my voice mail.

Personally I don't mind my voice until I hear a recording of it. I wish it had more of an accent. I hate the Southern Ontario accent, and can't wait to pick up the Maritime accent when I live there.

I am monotoned. I can hear pitch, but I can't emulate it very well. This makes me a pretty bad singer. (I also mumble and slur words.)

I don't think there is really an accent where I live/grew up.

I used to hate my voice, but now I am fine with it.

I have a mild Southern US accent, which I like. It's my laugh that gets me. When I first viewed footage of my wedding to Mike, I was embarrassed. I laugh like a mentally challenged walrus.
