There comes a time when talking calmly fails. When the only way to communicate your thoughts - or make yourself heard, perhaps - is to shout at the top of your lungs...or, perhaps, be shouted down yourself. How often do you find that you need to shout? Do you have a voice that others would consider loud, or are you generally soft spoken and quiet even when you raise your voice?
I pretty much never shout, ever. also my voice is ridiculously quiet, so people often tell me to speak up. every once in while someone asks "why are you so quiet?" and I'm not really sure how to respond. if I ever get sick of it I'll start replying with "why are you so loud?" :<
I'm a soft-spoken person that doesn't like to yell and to some people's speaking normally, is basically my version of yelling cause I'm one of those people that believe that people would listen to you more if you don't yell.
Depends, I don't ever yell AT anyone, but when I'm with my friends I tend to scream loudly, higher than a human male should ever be able to, even hurting my own ears. Always as a joke, too. I can ree loudly, but scream even louder. It's insane but fun. One time, two of my friends were having a screaming contest, and I said, "Ooh, a screaming contest! Fun!" As they pleaded for me not to while covering their ears, I screamed as loud as possible, somehow not getting in trouble but still being heard by everyone within half a mile of me.
My voice wasn't always loud, I just got so used to having to speak over my step father, who has little manners and interrupts all the time, that I talk very loud now. Talking with anyone else I'd say it's an average pitch.
While Ive learned to be more quiet and control my voice recently my voice can still get very loud very quickly even in normal conversation. If i get annoyed or god forbid angry at something expect my volume dial to just break.
I can talk loud and fast when I get excited and/or nervous. When I get mad, I will either yell at everyone or not speak at all. There is no in-between. But overall, I wouldn't say I'm that loud of a person- I can be. I had theatre training.
My vocal tone varies on my mood. If I’m nervous or bored, I’m about as quiet as you can get. If I’m excited or interested in the subject matter, I can sound hyperactive.
I don't have an outside voice! Really, I don't know how y'all shout, it hurts my throat. I'll walk across an empty quad field to talk to you face to face if you don't have your phone on you, and you'll never catch me at a club or concert too loud to hear talking. I literally don't know the last time that I spoke louder than projecting my voice to a crowd. A few weeks ago I recorded myself reading lines from a certain Batman movie where a certain spoilery character has a conversation with Batman, and concludes that conversation angrily shouting threats at him, and I found out that I couldn't even raise my voice enough to sound emotionally angry. I was... physiologically incapable of shouting. I don't know if it's a problem or a blessing.
