What do you do if you hate your voice? This is an extraordinarily common problem. In my experience, most people if they don't hate their voice, they don't like their voice. Here's where I get criticized for not sounding sympathetic and empathetic. But my advice is still get over it. Nobody cares about your voice.
Your voice is perfectly fine. Sure, there are some people I would say the bottom point oh 1% of people where their voices are so awful. People would rather jump off a bridge or jump off the balcony than have to listen to you. That's extremely rare. I've never had that happen. With more than 10,000 clients I've worked with in person face to face all over the world from six continents never had that happen.
The people I know the very worst voices, the most distinctive voices irritating voices are making millions of dollars in Hollywood because there's a big demand for that, indeed. He's a movie. So if that's your biggest problem in life, you can probably get rich off of it. They're also people who have voices that are just so smooth, buttery, interesting, memorable, distinctive. They can roll out of bed in the morning and, you know, 1145 go tape, a commercial and a TV network, get their million dollar paycheck. Go to the beach, buy one.
I don't know anyone like that, but I know they exist. That's probably the top point oh, 1% of people in the world. You probably don't have a voice like that, or you wouldn't be watching this course right now. Then there's everybody else. And by that I mean myself here 99.999% of the world where our voices are simply tools. They're not going to make people love us or hate us.
They're not going to instantly attract people or repel people. They're simply tools for communication. So you got to get used to hearing Your voice. And you've got to be confident you're coming across your best. Do that. And you don't have to worry about Oh, I hate my nobody cares about you.
I'm sorry, this doesn't sound sympathetic. Your audience cares about themselves, whether they're watching you on TV, hearing you on radio, the reporters talking to you looking for sound bites to put in that story. People are coming to your YouTube channel or Facebook channel. They're looking for information that's going to help them enrich their life. Maybe it's even entertainment. But whatever it is, they're focused on themselves how you make them feel not whether you have a perfect voice or not.
So I'm sorry, but just get over it and part of getting over it. Practicing enough on video and audio again and again, so that it no longer sounds strange to you.
