Do you mumble a lot or speak too low?

[Danfalc]

So do I! I always seem to pronounce it wrong, I just can't seem to say it right at all. When someone asks me my name, I know I'm going to have to repeat it and spell it a few times before anyone understands me. Grr! And my surname comes out sounding like 'Ling' or 'Lin', like a Chinese name or something, and I'm a freckled Irish girl, so I get strange looks before I'm asked to repeat it!
I'm so glad someone else has this problem! :lol:

LoL aw tho i wouldnt wish it upon anyone,it is nice to know someone else has problems speaking there own name so ditto!And I have a really common english first and 2nd name...Just somehow im stupid enough to still be suprised when i get asked it even at doctors and stuff But yeah i get the same looks lol,i somehow manage to blurt out my fall name like its one long fast word lol.

I have been just trying to talk slower recently and that has helped.. its just remembering to do it when you get all the other thoughts bouncing around in your head.

I notice many times I talk to people I don't feel comfortable with with a very low voice (because I don't want to speak too loud for everyone to listen) and a weaker tone and it's like I eat words in a weird way, and then people don't undertand what I say lots of times. Do you have this too?

I think alot of people with SA/SP unconciouslly have this type of voice, myself included. It's because we try not to draw attention to ourselves.

oh my, I do both! The reason I speak so low is because I'm afraid of being heard...... I know that sounds silly but I don't want people to hear me. I usually speak better and louder one on one but if it is in a crowd I whisper. I mumble often when I'm stating my opinion because I'm scared of offending someone ugh~ so weak::

Omg I thought I was the only one :?

I begin to panic because i imagine that the people behind me are getting annoyed for delaying them, i end up ordering something which i don't really want just to not delay people.

Totally! I'm the only person I know who does that. Thank you so much, you made my day!

A lot of times I'll have a big long magnificent speech planned out in my head, but I sadly only end up saying a few words.

Yes, I do. Everyone tells me to speak louder, even though I'm speaking as loud as I possibly can while around them! It's so annoying. Also, I think my voice is hideous and weird-sounding so I don't like to hear it anyways.

I used to mumble a lot. But now a days, while I am still soft spoken at times, I tend to voice myself much much better than I used to. I guess having extremely loud friends has changed this in me over time.

thoughtfulness gone haywire.

when i have to give a presentation i speak too quietly. during one a particularly irritable teacher had to keep telling me to speak up. i thought i was, but he didn't think so.. twas embarrassing::

 

[Havocan]

Not exactly, I've got a natural loud voice, I've had my peers several times tell me I speak too loud, so to prevent further comments I try to speak low and almost end up mumbling, the worst part is that I obviously speak too low again. People are never satisfied *sigh* . Oh well^^.

 

[M1tCh]

I vehemently deny that i do when called on it. But i guess i do sometimes...That's not to say that others lack of attention and ability to hear/understand what i say to them is any less shaky. All parties are at fault.

 

[aboobooboobooo]

I mumble sometimes but I've gotten better control of it now.

I don't mumble, I think, but I talk really quietly. I don't know why, but 'normal voice' is like yelling. Although I think I might be speaking more loudly now...?
