Hello this my first time posting after being a lurkers for about 3yrs, I was wondering did anyone have the symptom of having a weak, quite, or very obvious change in voice. If anything I believe my voice is inhibiting me from being social and getting out to do things because of how hard it is to physically speak. Some may say it’s from having social anxiety but I honestly feel really fine being around people. My voice is the only thing that discourages me because I sound so weak and childlike. I am getting a speech therapist very soon I pray they can help, but I’m very curious if anyone else is going through this very thing.

I’ve had this too. Still do sometimes, when your voice changes pitch (gets a little higher as you talk and you sound “weak”). No doubt it has to do with social anxiety (well, for me). It’s the way you’re pushing your vocal cords

But really if you become overly conscious of it then it might become harder to speak more normal.

Yeah I’m not sure if it’s social anxiety for me because I can be alone in the car singing a song or talking to my dog and this happens, but any tips on how to push my vocals the proper way?

Well, do you feel self conscious about it while you speak? If you notice yourself focusing on how it is while you do it or only do it to see how you’re doing, then it’s a neurotic problem. Sure, the affect may still be taking place but it’s not gonna be solved by a speech therapist. So really, the answer isn’t for me to be a speech therapist but to just tell you the truth. The problem is in your mind
