#voice issues

[csa-survivor-confessions]

To anon with voice issues:I repeat everything I tell my T but this helps with projection. Sometimes she puts the fan on to create a safe noise to encourage me to try to speak over it. Maybe try that? (tw?)I could only whisper replies when spoken to during physical stuff & I would be gagged if I cried(bc neighbors). My T said my speech issues are a result of my abuse & I physically struggle to speak above a whisper 90% of the time. Idk if this helps. I hope you can try my suggestion with the fan?

well, we have an appointment with ENT next week (that's ear nose & throat clinic, not a giant duck), but meanwhile our voice is getting harder to use (our last covid booster in December broke our vocal folds), so we downloaded a free phone app called Text To Speech! and it's actually really good

tere's a big range of voices and languages, you can change the pitch and speed, you can save favourite phrases to save typing time (it'll also show you "recent phrases" that you haven't saved in case you need to repeat yourself), you can choose talk as I type or by sentence or paragraph

oh and it works over the phone too, which is the most important thing for us, as our anxiety in phone calls makes our voice even worse - we haven't tried this out yet, apparently you don't hear your "voice", only the person at the other end does, unless they have you on speaker

anyway, big up for accessibility apps! we chose a Scottish woman's voice called Moira, because all the English (England) voices sound too Home Counties Karen

Me: *Often times unintentionally raises the pitch of my voice when say things 'hello' and 'have a nice day' in public*

Some family members: *Pokes fun at how my voice sounds really childish during those times*

Some people: *Accidentally giggle*

One guy at a store when I walked up and said 'hello' before asking for the key to the bathroom: *Making his voice super high pitched* Hello! Is this my real voice? 😆

Me: 💔🥺

My friend: *Says my voice is cute during those moments*

I can't tell if people view my voice as cute despite poking fun at me or if they dislike my voice. I wish people could just tell me if they like my voice or not, like how my friend straight up told me how he felt about my voice when it pitches up.

Like? Does the majority of the public think my voice is annoying during those times and people who like my voice like my friend are rare? Or what?

Mom: *Buying wine*

Me: *There*

Employee: How old are you?

Me: 23 😊

Mom: She just doesn't act like it

Me: Apparently, I don't act like it?

Mom: Or sound like it

Me: Haha....

Guys. Guys. Is my voice weird? You can get some of my voice from the water drinking game I posted.

Idk if my normal voice is weird to people, but I sometimes get made fun of or giggled at when I say things like-

'Thank you ❤!' And 'have a nice day ❤!'

Is my voice weird from what you guys heard so far? TTwTT;

I sound weird to myself but that's probably because everyone sounds different to themselves after they hear themselves on recordings.
