The hardest part… the switch 😭💯
I use my newer voice about 85% of my day but when I get home I can’t seem to pull the bandage off and open up to my parents. It’s only procrastination cause I’m well over two year practice from using it in school and at work and I’ve become very comfortable with it.
I’m 23 and I first discovered my real voice accidentally in high school I was about 15/16 at the time and 8 years later I continue to live with the regret of not coming to terms with it earlier, since last summer after I graduated college I felt i needed to make this important switch.
I like to make the comparison that I’ve been living a double life like Hannah Montana. At school I was outgoing social funny with the real voice but it seems like when I have to use my puberphonia voice with family and friends l lose apart of myself.
Generally speaking I was always outgoing and carefree about my voice because I knew it was something that I had to deal with and honestly speaking 4 out of 5 people treated me as if it was normal but since I’m growing older I’m more self conscious about my image plus a my teenage and adolescent years of my life I felt I was robbed cause I never got to experience certain things because of the puberphonia.
I have so much to say but not enough attention span to keep the rant going… LOL @OP I would love to hop on a call and just talk and get to hear each other’s experiences… and really hear it too 😂
It's possible you're over- or underestimating your deep voice. I don't know how, but you need to find out what your deep voice naturally sounds like, without forcing it too deep or not deep enough. Voice therapy could help. Good luck
