I recently just recorded my voice in Audacity with curiosity as to what I sound like, and I sound fucking horrible. I tried talking ina higher tone, but that doesn't work. I just sound really dull and boring.

I have a low, boring voice but I like it anyway and I will occasionally record it to embarass myself on the internet.

Try Yelling passionately in German and record that shit and who knows maybe even put it on Facebook for your parents to see. They might disown you because of the rational fear that you might be Hitler Incarnate, but at least you'll be remembered as someone with a bit of notable personality instead of not being remembered at all, you boring fuck.

Being remembered by my parents, that makes me feel good.

don't be so mellow? try being more upbeat, cheerful; maybe it'll reflect on your new personality.

One of the administrative ladies at work told me I would make a good narrator because I have a very distinctive voice, that made me feel pretty good.

Such is life with a baritone voice, friend.

Use it to your advantage. Embrace it!

Yeah mine's pretty bad too.

Why try going higher? Just work on putting more emotion into it.

Ugh, I hate my voice too. I have a tiny pitch range, so singing is pretty much impossible (try using an 8-key piano). I also squeak when I laugh, which is pretty embarrassing.

Isn't there, like, some sort of scientific explanation to that?

Damnit I went to record and upload a voice sample to the "dump" to link it to this thread and it said you can't upload mp3 files.

Talk about stuff that you're enthusiastic about. Don't be worried about getting words right. I dunno what else to say, haven't heard you speak.

Speak about something that means a lot to you, or something you're passionate about.

The topic of the thread says "mellow voice" which to me doesn't necessarily suggest a boring or lifeless voice. Perhaps your voice is soothing. You feel like sharing it with us?

I agree. Mellow isn't bad. Would be interesting to hear what OP sounds like.
