Pride’s over everyone! It’s now illegal to be gay again.
I was already really uncomfortable using my voice around other people when I’m putting effort into my voice, so a lot of what I have been doing has been squeezing the practice into periods of time where I’m alone
The only thing close to practice I do alone is singing during my commute to/from work. And I’m not good at singing.
OTOH, my work is basically entirely talking to people, so I do at generally try to avoid having that sorta raspy sound (I don’t think raspy is the word I’m looking for, but close enough). Also, I sometimes accidentally slip into a “customer service” sorta voice and that for whatever reason happens to be quite high pitched I think? A child laughed at my voice being “tiny” compared to the deep voice of the person I was reacting to because of that.
Hearing recordings (or feedback in meetings) is far worse than hearing my own voice directly imo.
