1. Has your voice ever changed?
Yes, my voice has definitely changed over the years. When I was younger, it was more high-pitched130.
Now that I’m an adult, it’s lower. Some people have said that it has a richer tone131 to it now.
2. Do your family members have similar voices?
Yeah, my family members have similar voices. If you’re not careful, you can mistake my mom for my aunt132. Since they’re sisters, they look similar as well. If you close your eyes when they talk, the difference between them is super hard to catch133. They both have high, sweet voices.
3. Do you enjoy recording your voice and listening to it?
No, I definitely don’t enjoy that. It’s super weird to hear a recording of my voice. It’s worlds away from134 what I hear in my head. Honestly, I prefer what I hear better. When I hear videos or recordings of me talking, it makes me cringe135. Things are much better the way I hear them.
4. In what situation do you think you will change your voice?
I mostly change my voice when I’m talking to babies. You know, everyone has a baby voice136 that they use. They’re usually silly and high-pitched so that the baby will be entertained. I’m no exception137.
Whenever I’m talking to a baby, my voice gets super weird. It’s worlds away from my normal speaking voice.
