You could always just start taking female hormones and go the transsexual route. Hawt.

You don't sound like a girl. You sound like my gay friends when they decide they're coming out of the closet. All of them decide it's ok to start talking in a high pitched voice. You sound exactly like that. You need to go the other direction.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't sound like your voice is naturally that high, you're just used to talking like that. If a gay guy can make himself sound like that with practice, you need to practice not talking like that.

No reason to give him shit over something he can't (or doesn't know how) to control

May check for a speech pathologist, maybe they'd have a better idea

You can most certainly go to a speech trainer to moderate your tone. Look into one in your area.

Huh, interesting. You sound quite a bit like someone who's been in a few of my classes. Are you in Erie, PA, by chance?

That's when you play them along and have fun.

I don't know that there's much to be done about your voice, other than either accepting that its yours and that's about all there is to it, or else you'd have to "play" a deeper voice. Do your best Barry White/Darth Vader impression when you're out. ;) But I don't think that that'd go over very well.
Or go find a gamma radiation source, ignore normal laws of physics, and turn into the Incredible Hulk.

On the bright side, you have a long musical career in hip hop and R&B along with all those guys who must have been kicked in the crotch one too many times when they were younger.

I know they do Botox injections for people with speech problems from the vocal chords spasming. Maybe, they have a spray that'll soften up the vocal chords.


They might even have surgery for this.
