If I had a dollar for every time someone told me, "I really don't like the sound of my voice," I’d be quite wealthy by now! Honestly, I can't personally relate—but I'm just kidding. I understand that many people struggle with this feeling. The key thing to remember is that when we speak, the sound we hear internally is different from what others hear. The vibrations resonate through our bones, making our voice sound denser to us than it does to others.
The first step in embracing your voice is to stop saying, "I hate the sound of my voice." When you say this, you're projecting negativity right from the start. Instead, try saying, "I have an amazing and unique voice that can tell unique stories with unique messages in my own unique way." It’s a mindset shift that can make all the difference.
Your voice is like any other instrument. If you want to build bigger biceps, you work on them, right? The same principle applies to your voice. Cultivate it, learn to use it skillfully, and practice regularly.
It's been scientifically proven that if you talk to a plant negatively every day, it will wither. But if you show it love, it will grow and flourish. The same principle applies to your body and your voice. So, the next time you speak, be grateful that you have a voice in the first place. Focus on improving your speaking abilities, and soon you'll learn to love the sound of your own voice.
