You sound fine, everyone hates their own voice on recordings.

Don’t worry. Everyone is annoyed by the sound of their own voice, because when we hear our own voice the vibration in our jaw and other bones and muscles actually causes the voice we hear to be deeper than the voice that other people hear.

Yours doesn’t sound unbearable, though it is high. However, its pitch has a lot to do with many factors, including genetics, where you were raised, your native language, whether you smoked or not, and others. Basically, the sound of your voice is uniquely yours. No need to feel self conscious or embarrassed about it.

Your voice is fine, and I don’t think it’s annoying. At all.

Maybe “hate” is a strong word for it, but everyone’s voice sounds different to their ears than it does in their head. It has to do with resonance chamber something something

Most people I know, myself included, who have done recording work hate their voice. It doesn’t sound right to our ears. You just eventually get used to hearing it.

Also, just as a fair warning: If you notice you lean on a word or phrase, or that you have a certain speech pattern you want to change, completely work on it, but don’t let it consume you. When you get to that point that you’re constantly looking for it, it’s time to walk away, even just for a short time. I can promise you, it’s nowhere near as bad as you might think. It’s just easy to be overly critical of yourself, and that includes your projects.

It kinda sounds like this guy but that’s totally fine

Your voice is clearly high, but not annoyingly so. I think very few people like the sound of their own voice, because you are so used to hearing what it sounds like reverberating around the bones in your when you talk, not how others hear it.

There needs to be a rate me community for voices. lol

Not annoyingly so. It’s noticeably high pitched but not in such a way that I find it unpleasant.

In fact, with a little bit of effort and a bit of training, you could probably have a pretty extensive voice range. Your tone is animated and friendly and I could see a potential for voice acting for you.

If I heard this voice randomly somewhere it would be very unremarkable and I wouldn’t note anything unusual about it. It wouldn’t stand out as different to me.

It isn’t annoying. On the contrary, it is generally appealing, if you ask me.

We hear our own voices differently than others do because our ears are connected to the same skull doing the speaking. It is really jarring to hear what you sound like to others. But if you’re like me, you may get used to it if you edit videos of yourself enough times.

You feel there is an issue with your voice, so what are you going to do about it?

Take vocal training lessons or speech therapy and do what you feel needs to be done to get where you want to be. There are videos and whatnot online that can also help if you can’t afford professional coaching.

The greatest hindrance to achieving your goals is yourself, kick your own ass to greatness.

Sounds fine to me.

I also dislike listening to my own voice, so you’re not alone in that :)

Sounds fine to me.

I agree with most everyone else, you don’t sound annoying at all.

Part of having an “annoyingly high voice” is related to more than just your voice itself, but also your demeanor and personality…

Let’s compare you to the quintessential annoyingly high voice, Spongebob Squarepants.

Many of the things that make Spongebob annoying are more about who he is and how he acts than his voice specifically.

Spongebob is overly hyperactive. He has a laugh that is absurdly, purposefully annoying when repeated a lot, literally used as a joke a few times.

You on the other hand sound calm and reasoned. I didn’t hear a full-on laugh, but I could hear a slight chuckle when doing your “western voice” which you described as silly. You’re way, way, way more low key and chill than a character like Spongebob. I would say most people generally like people who are relaxed and chilled, so you’ve got that going for you.

Finally, your voice just isn’t all that high, and you certainly don’t immediately seem to have the kind of social issues that would make you “annoying.”

Your voice is great
