talking in two voices

I think everyone has a different tonality in their voice in certain situations, whether they're aware of it or not. I know that I speak too quietly around people I don't know or in public, but a little louder when i'm with a close friend. Either way, I speak too quietly anyway.

 

yeah i do it all the time

 

When I'm with close friends and we're doing something fun my voice tends to become a lot higher and energetic.

My voice is usually very relaxed, low and earthy from what I've been told.

 

I use different voices depending on the situation I am in, or if I want to emphasize something. I try to be as clear in my verbal communication as I possibly can. I also can talk very fast. I grew up in New Jersey, but people from there have told me I talk fast too.

 

My voice variations include:

• "Hello stranger"
• Contempt politeness
• Intimidated politeness
• "Who are you? Leave me alone"
• Friends familiarity
• Around the house + family
• "You're weird"
• Care free
• Awkward + shy
• Reserved for little kiddies
• I'm teasing

Plus many more I think because I'm so aware of how I'm going to say stuff to people I just end up talking differently all the time.

 

My voice changes, and often my complete mannerism. I talk and act differently as the situation calls for it.

 

Mine changes a lot too. I amuse myself. It's funniest when I pick up on people's strong accents and start to reflect them in my speech. I can't avoid doing it. I'm very softly spoken also, according to other people, which annoys me, because I can hear myself perfectly well in my own head Life eh

 

Have you ever noticed people when they talk on the phone? Most people I know have a "phone voice" which I think is hilarious, but I have one too. I have lots of different tones and ways of speaking in different situations. I too pick up on accents and even phrases. The interesting thing I notice I do though, is I act dumb sometimes, which goes with a higher pitched voice. I'm not dumb. I'm very bright, but I think it's a bit of a defense mechanism. All I know is I hate my higher pitched voice. And yeah, I speak too quietly for most people too.

 

I do it also, I'm glad someone else does to.
