Passionate, loud, excited to share ideas but has to stop itself from talking overs sometimes when the thoughts spill over into a massive crescendo!!!

My voice is like a thunderous rain. Beautiful, solid, peaceful yet powerful.

My voice is warm and happy and bright like a summers night. My voice is comforting and musical, like a light melody. It is holding back a bit though, and sometimes it comes out in tumbles of laughter , especially with my girlfriends. We feel like teenagers again and no doubt sounds like them.It is fun and liberating!

My voice is soothing. It softens and lowers as the sound intensity of the room increases.

The voice I hear inside my head is a force of nature that is powerful, strong and confident. Something is lost for me though as the words are turned into sounds. My voice when I speak sounds like something less than it does when the words are in my head. I love your suggestion to work with a voice coach and plan to follow up on it. I am perfectly comfortable speaking in public but for the fact that I just don;t like the sound of my voice. I think this could unlock some great potential for me. By the way, the Dead Can Dance rock my core too! Try Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros singing Mondo Bongo or Incubus singing Aqueous Transmissions.

I completely understand! Where is the fire? Don’t feel bad…there are many of us fast talker/interupters out there…I think our culture contributes to that…

To Enid: Your words have come at a good time. I am 39 years old, single w/o children…I’m in a different place than my contemporaries, and I’ve been feeling so anxious lately…work cannot be all there is in my life! I do want to meet someone and I can’t for the life of me figure out why I’m not attached. I am going to pay more attention to my voice. Maybe I could try some restraint! I am the American Bridget Jones…I am ready for a change but I have no idea what that change is going to be…I must be still to listen to God’s voice…but I am not very good at being still! Work in progress. Thanks, Enid, for your wise words…

Julia, You said you have been a cheerleader and salesperson your whole life and have sharp sound bites. Yes, that may be true till now in your life. But for the rest of your life, if you want you can choose to change those sound bites to soft nibbles, gentle sounds to soothe and help others to know you as you really are. Are you using your voice at times to keep others away from really knowing you? You are a wonderful and enthusiastic person to do what you do. Soften it sometimes to let more gentle light shine through your voice. Wait till you see the rewards!

My voice carries strength and caring. My voice wants to be heard but knows when to let my ears take over.

Unfortunately, not as pleasant as I would like it to be. I talk too fast, interrupt others, and don’t listen well. I am in too big a hurry. This is one of the areas of myself that I want to change.
