If someone has a "baby voice" do you think they are weak...?

Question

I hate my voice.

It's very soft and babish which i hate.

Most people think i can't stand up for myself because of it or that i'm weak.

I'm really thinking about going to a speech thearpist :(

Answer 1

i have a squeaky country accent. when i answer the phone i get treated like a child. some people even think i fake my voice. why would anyone be that stupid? lol. i feel your pain girl. but i've learned to live with it and i used to consider it a flaw but now i think it gives me character!

Answer 2

I sort of know what you mean.  I don't think I have this and I haven't had anybody say anything in a while but whenever I used to pick up the phone people would ask if my Mommy was home....um....I don't live with my Mommy.....They would think I was a 4 or 5 year old.

Answer 3

you're voice is your own you dont have to change. if u know ur a strong person and dont need anyone standing up for you then let them know you're comfortable with who you are and how u sound. =)

Answer 4

People may tend to baby you but lots of people think of a small voice as a plus.  I'm sorry if you dislike it, but you're never going to be 100% happy with yourself. If you had a deeper voice you'd find something else with yourself you don't like, when really, you are very likely completely fine all the way around just like you are.  

Don't worry about it. I'm sure it's very becoming.

Answer 5

The great part about people making assumptions and underestimating you is that you can sneak up and give them a wallop and they will never see it coming! :)

Answer 6

Don't change for anyone  

Answer 7

I think it is cute.  You don't need to go to a speech therapist.  My brothers girlfriend has a baby voice too, and people think that about her when they first meet her, but trust me, she can stand up for herself.  Just don't take any c**p off of anyone, and they will know that your voice doesn't mean you are a door mat.  :-)
