    I don`t know... my voice I hear in my ears is my ten yr old voice but obviously it has already changed... ... sigh ... and I hate my new one.

    AND ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOREVER.

    I don`t squeak (but I did say, four yrs ago,) but I have the same "gorilla that has a cold" voice.

    I heard a recording of my voice from four yrs ago and now, THEY SOUND THE SAME D=

    AND I have a high-pitched laugh WTH, ...

    1. Will my voice be like this forever? (4 yrs so far it`s been unfavourable.. sigh...)
    2. Anyone else hate their voices too?

    I have such a deep voice my friends tell me I sound like a huge creeper on the phone. In life I have the deepest voice out of all my friends. I love my voice.

    But you're still growing, your voice will change.

    I love my voice. It sounds like James Dean with the same accent.

    I am iffy about my singing voice though. But speaking wise it's okay.

    My voice changes often and I'm 18. It changed pretty gradually for me during puberty, but lately has started to squeak on me when I don't know what to say to someone. I used to hate my voice, but now I love it! Everybody's is different, some people have deep voices, others have high pitched squeaky ones, and some are just plain weird. Accept it as part of who you are, then it won't matter what you sound like. Besides hearing your own voice is always a bit freaky for most people .

    Oh my god. My voice is one of the things that screams "girl" about me, and usually I pass as male up until I open my mouth to speak.

    And how that I've started hormones, my voice is cracking. And I'm 17, a sophomore in college, and my voice is cracking. :grin:

    YEAH. I don't think you've got anything to complain about :lol:

    I hate the voice that I use when conversing with people. I've heard it. It's awful. *shivers*

    I also have my speech voice. Which I think is okay.

    I hate my voice as well. I think I sound like a chain smoker (which makes it slightly ironic that my singing voice is pure and soprano) but at some point you have to accept what you have and make the most of it. Not to mention, as a 15-year-old guy you almost certainly have some more changing to do in the voice department.

    Early college.
    Because Miles, and possibly I, are just brilliant badasses.

    I don't like my voice either. I think it took a lot of courage to mu pupils to hear me 6 hours a day. And I spare them to listen me singing.
    I think very few people really like their voice.
    Hopefully, you're only 15 and your voice will probably still evolves.

    I think a lot of people dislike their voices, but I don't think that many people really pay attention to other people's voices. I think my voice is too high and soft and my Rs sound a little bit like Ws, but not many people I ask about it notice it.

    I hate my voice!! It changes throughout the day. At certain points it can be deep but then at other points it becomes insanely high.
    I used to have the highest voice ever. I was a soprano. So when it broke, it didn't really break a whole lot. Oh well. And I can't help but hear how gay I sound when I listen to it back. But I'm gay, so it's okay.

    Ahhh yes I hated my voice until it changed. Answering the phone was my biggest nightmare, people would start going off right away thinking I was my mom

    "Hello?"
    "Hi, guess what happened to so and so today, I was at the grocery store and the-"
    "Its Mike.....one second"
    "Ohhh... hey Mike.. I have really bad reception here...."
    "Ya, k"
    Now I'm all manly like! My voice can go pretty deep.. I can do a good "drag queen" voice, as my friends put it.

    My normal speaking voice, to me, sounds a bit to nasally. I can, however, have a great range to it and can take it almost to the "move trailer guy" level, where it sounds decent.

    Ugh, I hate my voice too. It's too deep. I heard a recording of myself, and I sounded like a retard. :/
