Do you have a funny voice?

Post Reply New Topic

Does talking loud? Because I talk loud or get loud a lot of the time without even knowing or trying too. But people both at school and family notices it and tells me to be softer.

No, but it can be monotone. I meant my everyday talking.

Mine is high pitched and monotone

Yeah, I can relate to this. When I was a kid I recorded myself on tape doing a show. I sounded awful. As the years have gone, I've been thinking that maybe it was just the low quality of the cassette of the time. Well, yesterday I accidentally recorded myself when trying out a new program. OMG. It sounded even worse than the kid recording. My voice is weird. Do not like it.

Never been given a hard time over this issue though.

I've been asked if I was German, Polish and Austrian. I was also called a Cockney by a bunch of kids at my school when I was 9.

Are you actually from any of those countries?

I don't this is related to my autism, but my voice is very squeaky, a bit like a little girly voice. And that (as well as my height and round-ish facial features) sometimes makes people think I'm younger than I actually am.
One time I was talking to someone on the phone about renewing disability benefits, and when they spoke to my mum, they told her I sounded 'cute'.

I don't have a monotonous voice unless i'm tired/anxious/under stress/foggy in the brain. My casual, relaxed way of talking is not very natural as I obviously tend to misuse emphasis, nearly like having a pitch accent. This generally confuses the person I'm talking to. Though many told me it's kinda cute too. I talk very slow or super fast, nothing in between. I also have a really low voice, often inaudible. People always ask me to repeat what I say because they haven't heard it and this causes an opposite effect. I go even quieter or sometimes start to slightly stutter.

I talk really quietly and really fast.

It sounds very irritating to my ears when I hear a recording of it. However, I suspect it is not to the ears of others as I don't get any bad feedback or vibes from others.

I do tend to speak quietly and fast, and as a result get asked to repeat what I said sometimes.

I do like communication in writing.

I'll let you judge.

The first time I heard a voice recording of myself, I thought to myself "What is wrong with my voice?" But I noticed that no-one complaims about it, so I figured it probably just sounds different to ME.

Years later, someone told me that I did have a monotone and all that, so now I know I'm not imagining things.

Probably, I don't know, I can't really hear myself. I don't think I sound weird in my head but I bet its weird.

My voice is very monotonous, and sometimes I speak too loud or whisper without noticing. But my accent is very weird, partially because live in different parts of country but if I compare my accent to my sister's she is way more normal, sometimes people ask if I'm foreigner.

Here I am reading a passage from a booking I am currently reading:

The sound quality is rather 'tinny' and I seem to lack vocal range.

I was born in Canada to Canadian parents.
