Keep it down. Just be happy you have options! A lot of women only have the squeaky setting.

Mine's deep but quiet so people always tell me I'm too low-energy and my voice puts people to sleep. Good for calming people down, but maybe I should take some singing/acting lessons to learn how to project/emote better...

D1 I've been told the same. Took a diction class back in college and it made me realize that your voice is what you make of it. So there's no need to change it to be less "low-energy" or emote. You're better off learning to "open" your voice and speak clearer (annunciation)

Omg I have the same problem!!!

Don't speak. Write things down for people

Anyone have recommendations for a Oaxacan, not just Mexican, restaurant that is also affordable? Thanks!
