HI, IM 23 YEAR OLD GUY, AND IM REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE WTIH MY VOICE. IT SOUNDS REALLY GIRLY. SO SOMETIMES I FORCE MYSELF TO MAKE IT MORE 'MANLY'. ANY OF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM??
I've been told I have a "cartoon" voice, whatever the hell that means. Maybe I should get into voice acting. Anyway, your voice is what it is. You shouldn't have to change it, and if you do maybe you could just take of smoking. My voice also gets lower after a night of heavy drinking, but I wouldn't recommend doing that too much.
Of all the most RIDICULOUS and RETARDED anxieties! This is soooo STOOOOPID! Whenever I am on the phone people think I am a woman. Do I give a FUCK? NO! Get OVER YOURSELF! There are MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE THAN A GIRLIE-VOICE!!!! LIKE CAPITALIZING LETTERS!!!
I really hate the sound of my voice too, it just sounds so girly and stupid and i am a 19 yer old male.
I will avoid talking as much as possible, and when i have too, i will try and control it by making it sound deeper. But then i worry that the deep voice sounds rude, so i soften it and end up sounding like a ponce :x .
i have like 9 personalities and 16 voices, one of them is nearly girlish i guess. while other sounds like a 60 year old man in benzos, usually i just use the girlish ones when i sing. i think when i talk normally this swicth from 3 to 4 voices wih are myself.
all you guys out there that think you sound weird, never in my life have i noticed a guy's voice or thought to myself that "oh that's girly" so i hope that's some comfort! :|

I'd really like to hear your rude, deep voice. I can't imagine what a ponce is suppposed to sound like.
But enough frivolity.
A couple of weeks ago, I read this:-http://homepages.tesco.net/nick.hanlon/splchange.htm (click the section on "Speaking With Confidence"). It was quite interesting to realise how your posture can make your voice can sound weak and weedy or more powerful with resonance. I've been consciously using this tip since. I dunno, maybe I now talk like a resonant ponce but I don't let it worry me.
I don't like the sound of my voice either. Last year and the year I've been told I'm the only one in my class with a low voice like that. Some may see it as a compliment, well I don't. I could die when giving speeches, and a voice like that is not making it easier. Through mobile it sounds higher though. But I think everyone has that ?
