Gabrielle Tiongson Here are Joni's suggestions for the problems you've pinpointed: People have difficulty hearing you Joni's suggestion: Try to open your mouth more when you speak. The voice is acoustic and need space to resonate. If the mouth is closed the voice will sound muffled. Voice tired at the end of the day Joni's suggestion: You will need to work on using the body more and the vocal cord area less. The vocal cords are only 20% of the full vocal sound. The body is the other 80%. If you only use the cords (throat area) you only get a 20% voice. Voice is high-pitched Joni's suggestion: High pitched voices have no bottom range. It is not that the voice itself has no bottom, it is that the player of the vocal instrument (namely you) who is not using it! Learn to use the bottom half of your voice as well as the top half and you will have a full voice, not half a voice. On the phone, strangers think you are a child Joni's suggestion: A child-like voice is caused by using only a small portion of the vocal cord and body resonance. Children have small vocal cords and small bodies. Adults have larger cords and larger bodies. To have a mature voice you must use the full cord and the body to create sound. Unless of course, you like sounding like a small, little person. This does work just fine for some people... You do have a choice! Confrontations make your pitch go up Joni's suggestion: Nervousness makes the pitch of the voice go up because the vocal cords live in the larynx and as we get nervous the larynx will rise into swallow position, that old "lump in the throat thing". As the larynx goes up it pulls the vocal cord out of relaxed position. The nervous person will use less vocal cord, creating a higher-pitched voice. Yawn sighs, Ahhhhhhhhh, and relaxation techniques will do wonders for the nervous voice..

Here are Joni's suggestions for the problems you've pinpointed:
People have difficulty hearing you Joni's suggestion: Try to open your mouth more when you speak. The voice is acoustic and need space to resonate. If the mouth is closed the voice will sound muffled.
Voice tired at the end of the day Joni's suggestion: You will need to work on using the body more and the vocal cord area less. The vocal cords are only 20% of the full vocal sound. The body is the other 80%. If you only use the cords (throat area) you only get a 20% voice.
Voice is high-pitched Joni's suggestion: High pitched voices have no bottom range. It is not that the voice itself has no bottom, it is that the player of the vocal instrument (namely you) who is not using it! Learn to use the bottom half of your voice as well as the top half and you will have a full voice, not half a voice.
On the phone, strangers think you are a child Joni's suggestion: A child-like voice is caused by using only a small portion of the vocal cord and body resonance. Children have small vocal cords and small bodies. Adults have larger cords and larger bodies. To have a mature voice you must use the full cord and the body to create sound. Unless of course, you like sounding like a small, little person. This does work just fine for some people... You do have a choice!
Confrontations make your pitch go up Joni's suggestion: Nervousness makes the pitch of the voice go up because the vocal cords live in the larynx and as we get nervous the larynx will rise into swallow position, that old "lump in the throat thing". As the larynx goes up it pulls the vocal cord out of relaxed position. The nervous person will use less vocal cord, creating a higher-pitched voice. Yawn sighs, Ahhhhhhhhh, and relaxation techniques will do wonders for the nervous voice..
Now that you've pin-pointed your problem areas, ask your closest friends what they hear in your voice and how they think it can be improved upon. Their honest observations may surprise you.
ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER ASSIGNMENT:
Well done with your characterization. You seem to have that fascination with anime’s and cartoons that helped brought your characters to life. Keep on practicing. I know you have talent, you just need to develop it further.
