Can't hear my, can't hear my, can't hear my nervous voice.

When you're nervous, does your voice change weirdly? I know for young boys like Sygsag, their voices go squeaky! :bigsmile:

When I answer the phone at work, sometimes I manage to be really polished, but a lot of the time I get taken aside that I stutter and get nervous. I get tongue tied really easily, reverse my letters, or a sudden nervous lisp comes out, or I'll talk like people sound with Crest Whitestrips in and I'll say something like "Shee" when I'm trying to say "See." I sound so ridiculous!

Don't be embarassed! :hahaha:

If I get really bad it's like my tongue has swollen up in my mouth and become completely dry.

Oh, that reminds me. Ironically, I'm a pretty great public speaker except when I'm doing power points (I hate going between reading points and speaking) presentation. It's talking to people more personally when I get all tounge tied and icky mouthed. :x

Mine goes up 3 octaves, so therefore, only small dogs can hear it.

I'm much more nervous speaking in private, where I'm supposed to look people in the eye, than I do in public speaking (where I can afford not to).

I'm sure I stutter more than necessary, but I dont' think the tone of my voice changes.

It pains me to say it, but whenever I'm nervous I start giggling uncontrollably. And thus! I am Giggles.

I stutter a lot when I get nervous but it's not just my voice that shows it. I get clumsy too!

Tongue tied, lisp, and stuttering starts to creep it's way in when I get nervous.

I talk a mile a minute and I eat the words when I get a lil excited...

If I'm not careful, my voice sounds like female on the phone :P

Now don't get fresh on me!

I talk very quickly and sound either more Scouse or more posh as a result. I have to actively try to slow myself down when I'm nervous, which isn't always the easiest task.

well when i get really annoyed and i dont wanna yell my voice goes high.
When i do assignments at school with scripts longer than 1000 words or i talk really fast.
When i have a short script that i can memorize im good except once or twice or short speeches ive been marked down for being to casual.

If I get nervous when speaking in person, I don't think my voice changes as much as my body language does. My arms will either be all aflutter trying to compensate for the words I can't find, or my whole body will struggle to show just how UTTERLY INTERESTED I am in the conversation.

If I get nervous when speaking in public:

I haven't really noticed, so no I don't think so?

But, when I'm nervous I tend to scrath myself on the arms and in the neck for some reason :bigsmile:

My voice gets shaky when I'm nervous. It doesn't get high though, luckily. However, when I talk normally I have slightly more saliva than average people and so sometimes I slur my words together. :p

I work on a shopfloor so I always have to approach customers and it's really embarrasing as I still don't really know what I'm chatting on about usually. I generally speak very fast anyway because of my accent (I am NOT a scouser I just have scouse TENDANCIES) but I go even quicker and end most sentences by going "so.... urm yeah".

Well I'm not so bad anymore not since I worked for Sainsbury's having to do the customer service announcements on the tannoy system and calls for colleagues to go to the CSD/Tills. I remember the last time I truly got badly tongue tied about public speaking was in high school and I had to do a small part in a school play and I couldn't do it (I was yr 7, I looked out and was like "hellz no!" and rooted to the spot outside of the wings) Thankfully one of my mates quickly stepped up and went and done my piece their costume was near identical to mine anyhow so it fitted in. They never forced me to do that again then in Year 8 I had to do open evening for the Science dept which helped some and in Year 9 we had a local chemistry and biology challenge my school won and so I had to go give a speech I remember standing at the pulpit on the stage in front of everyone and speaking so fast that I got tongue tied and chewed my sentence up this made me pause and I nearly pannicked however I looked at the group and thought "smurf this I'm going to look like a bigger twat if I just run away now and I can't run forever" cracked a joke about being tongue tied drawing a lot of laughter and restarted the speech and done it perfectly. That pretty much gave birth to the me of today I don't really get nervous now apart from when I'm lying about stuff.

When I'm uncomfortable in a social situation I just get either quieter and quieter, or I over compensate by being too loud. If I'm nervous when speaking in front of a bunch of people my mind goes blank and my voice shakes a little.

Oh you. :bigsmile:

But I think when I'm nervous I do what scrumpleberry said here.

My voice goes croaky and I tend to sound a lot more Geordie than I do usually. Maybe this is so that people can't understand the nervous rubbish that I'm spouting.

Luckily, it doesn't happen too often. I've had to do a fair bit of speaking/ shouting since becoming a teacher.

I sound terrible enough without being nervous. People with my type of unpleasant voice should be made with mute button.
