How does my voice sound so far?

[Guest Nikki P]

So I have been working on my voice for about a week now, and I'm not really sure how to improve it. I've asked my room mates what sounds wrong with it (because I know there is something wrong with it, it just sounds fake to me while I speak). But they are having a hard time coming up with anything specifically wrong.

So I was wondering if I could get some opinions on how my voice sounds, and what I need to do to improve it. Thanks!

You sound like my teacher and she is very classy! You pass!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

That's close. You just need to get more comfortable so it comes out naturally. Don't ask me to play mine. I practice a lot by reading out loud to my self. My problem now is I pop out at times I don't really want to. If I'm happy and around females I have to stay in check it it's important not to let me out. I hope you don't have that situation. Practice, You have it, now let it flow. Hug. Jody

Wow! So formal! Very impressed with your voice. You pass 100%.

[Guest JamieJamie]

Wow, you pass. And I tend to be very critical so if I say it you deserve it. It always pain us to hear our own voices which is probably why you think there is something wrong with it.

[Guest Nikki P]

Wow! I really didn't expect such encouraging and comforting remarks. Thank you all so much for the support!

Your voice is amazing! I love it!

[Guest DanD]

sounds pretty good in pitch and tone. cant think of anything to help, but it does have that "im on an answering machine" quality to it, but you expect that when people record themselves. sounds like your controlling your breathing alot..make sure you maintain that girlish sound when youre telling a story or laughing, not just in a prepared sentence or two. thats the only advice i can give on it..the more natural, the better for general conversation.

It seems the link died

[Guest Nikki P]

Oops! Sorry about that. Should be working again.

[Guest SusanB]

Sounds great to me

[Guest iamnotworthi]

No worries! You sound great! Though I agree with the others about being more natural,likely due to recording though :-)

What worked for you? How did you get to where you are?

[Guest Rebecca65]

You sound great,you pass with flying colors.What method did you use.I know it takes patience and practice.

I watched a few youtube videos and kinda tried what they recommended. In the end I just talk a lot though. I didn't have a strategy. I just keep talking and hope it keeps getting better XD.
