I hate my voice.?!

I hate my voice.?

When I record myself talking and then listen to it, I think I sound like a stereotypical gay man but with a deep voice (btw - I have nothing against gay people). None of my friends or peers say that I sound gay. When I meet new people, they don't suspect that I'm gay at all.

When I record myself singing and then listen to it, I think I sound absolutely terrible. A lot of people in my chorus class, people in Honors Chorus (the highest level of chorus at my high school), and my chorus teacher (who is an excellent teacher btw) compliments my singing. I even got chosen to be in Honors Chorus for the upcoming school year.

What I'm trying to say is that when I hear myself talk, I think I sound gay, and when I hear myself sing, I think it sounds horrible. Even though people don't call me gay, and people compliment my singing, I hate the sound of my own voice.

Are my friends/peers right and I'm just acting crazy?

If people don't think you're gay, then what's the problem? Honeslty everyone thinks they sound funny when they listen to themselves sing or talk. Don't worry about it!!! You might be a little judgemental about your self, so lay it off and just relax. I'm sure you have a good voice.
