I really HATE my voice, (my talking voice)! One of my friends has the most soothing voice in the world and I just ask her random questions just so I can hear her talk. I sound like a chip munk because my voice is high and its just weird. And sometimes when I'm nervous, I studder when I talk. Like my moms friend asked me, "do you want me to take you home?" and I answered "I don't know if home my mom is." I was SUPPOSED to say "I don't know if my mom is home." When I'm nervous I mix up my words or I studder and can't get them out of my mouth!!! I try so hard to say my words right and I do it slow, but it doesn't come out right. And my I can almost always talk perfect but like a few times I couldn't. So my 2 questions are........
1. How can I make my talking voice more deep but not to deep and more soothing and pretty? Like is there anything I can do, or will I have to deal with my squeaky high voice?
2. What can I do so when I get nervous and talk, I won't mix up my words and studder?
Like me for instance, anytime I get in a confrontation with someone, I just start shaking and crying and then I run in another room. And then on top of that, when my friends are trying to ask me what's wrong, I can't talk because my voice is having highs and lows and it sounds pretty bad. It's definetly not something I like dealing with because it makes me wonder what other people or my friends are thinking of it.
Sometimes I always try to keep calm in bad situations. If I feel like I'm going to get upset, I just try breathing or going in a room by myself where I can keep calm.
I think we both know that you're asking the wrong questions. How can you make your voice prettier? I think you know that you can't change your voice unless you fake it for the rest of your life. You may not like your voice right now, but someone who really loves you later on or soon will love it because it's your voice. Without that high squeaky voice, it wouldn't be his cute, fun-loving and caring girlfriend, wife, or partner. I know this may not help, but we know Ashlee Simpson. She has a pretty squeaky voice too, but without her voice, she just wouldn't seem as Ashlee Simpson as she is now.
If you really want to fix your studdering when you get nervous, I'd look into it with your parents or a doctor that could recommend something to do. Likely it's something that has to do with you being able to keep calm in nervous situations, not some disease that needs medication.

Your GP could refer you to one. [ sassysara's advice column | Ask sassysara A Question ]
