Thats what I sound like?!?!

Hah the exact same thing happened to me. The first time I heard my voice back all I could think of was how stereotypically gay I sounded.

But it's okay. Our voice is simply one part of us that makes us individual, it's nothing to be ashamed of! (*hug*)

 

It happened to me too!!! It was actually quite strange to think thats how others hear my voice cos that not how i think i sound. But like Ben said, its only a small part of who you are and its ok!

 

XD Happens to me all the time, it's why I HATE my voice with a passion XD

Others say it's normal though ._.

 

i always feel that way! i sometimes wonder why people dont just automatically peg me as gay

maybe this is how straight dudes hear their voices too?:confused2:

 

omg! that's like the time I started using a microphone when singing and performing. when I would always play guitar I wouldn't really have any equipment, and then I started using amps and mics. the first time I sang through the microphone, I was a little shocked and I was all like "man, is that how I sound?" but then I got used to it.

once you get past the initial shock, it's all good.

 

Haha... I had the same experience. I always thought that my voice was pretty much neutral when it comes to masculinity or femininity, but when I recorded my voice some time ago, I thought that it sounded rather "gay."

It doesn't and never really did bother me though. I was simply surprised and wondered just how no one picked up on it.

 

This has happened to me. I did a project for a class one time, and it got filmed. When we watched it later on, I was so surprised about how my voice sounded. It shocked me, to say the least. I'm used to it now.

 

Hey guys, let us be the judge! :icon_wink

Go record your voice on the epic EC thread: http://www.emptyclosets.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15252 :icon_bigg

 

I always thought that I had a normal guy voice too, pshh then I heard myself in a video and I was like "man, I am sooo gay.."

 

We totally need to hear each other talk! =D

 

My voice is...

Super NOT gay sounding xD Kinda funny, cause everything else about me is.

 

Over recorded material, I sound straight. In person though, I think it would be at least debatable.

 

I don't have that problem, well at least, not the gay accent. In terms of speech, I guess my 'politeness' would give me away. And a 'tch' sound here and there.

 

LOL. We have a thing in common.

 

I always thought I sounded pretty masculine, but when I listen to recordings of myself, I can't help but shudder. My voice much more effeminate than I wish it was, although it's not as gay as some of the flaming people in my school, so that gives me some level of comfort.

 

Supposedly I sound a lot like my brother, who has a masculine sounding voice, but I think that's debatable. I hear my voice every time the answering machine plays the outgoing greeting, and I don't think it sounds too "gay", though I think some other recordings kind of do. No one accuses me of having a hugely effeminate voice.

I think it may have to do with how you hear your voice. When you talk a lot more of the sound gets transmitted through your bones to your ear, which is why you "sound different", and I think it may emphasize lower frequencies, which may make your voice sound deeper or more "masculine" to yourself then it does to others.

I sound really gay when I talk. Like, I say "like" like, 5 times in every sentence.

 

I HATE my voice. to me, I sound...normal. average. maybe slightly feminine but overall, ok.

I sounded all posh and odd :icon_sad:
I sounded like I was constantly bored :/
