Aside from all of this, Art was always something I could do. I have struggled keeping any sort of “normal” job largely due to my disabling migraines. Art is a big way I communicate my thoughts, emotions and experiences to others! #pursuit #pursuitofhappiness #mumbling #mondaymotivation #artistchat

Man reveals his authentic voice after 30 years of changing it to please his mom Even though your voice is one of the defining aspects of your personality, acclaimed vocal coach Dr. Morton Cooper says most people are _not speaking_ in their natural voices. They either altered their tone to sound more like someone they admire or developed their tone to oppose someone they don’t like. Even though the vocal changes are mostly subconscious, over time speaking in the wrong register can cause burnout and leave someone exhausted after a long day. Timothy Daigle is going viral on TikTok for a video in which he admits that since puberty, he hasn’t been speaking in his natural voice. What’s interesting about the clip is that he begins the video speaking in his conversational voice and then reveals his actual speaking voice at the end. > @timmaydgl > > This was… an uncomfortable realization at first. Now, it’s just a fascinating piece of my personal history that I will DEFINITELY bring up in therapy one day when talking about how aggressively I will accomodate the people around me no matter how ridiculous their problem with me is. ## Daigle reveals his real speaking voice “What you’re hearing right now is what people would call my speaking voice,” Daigle said. “This is the voice that I have spoken to my children, my partners, my family with since I was maybe 14—15 years old. This voice does not bother me, but this voice is the voice I speak with for a reason.” Daigle said that he began speaking in a higher register after his mom repeatedly criticized him for mumbling as a teenager. “That word ‘mumbling’ came out of her mouth at me in every conversation for years when I hit about 11, 12, 13 years old. So I would speak up. I would squeeze my voice,” he said. After his wife asked him to speak in his natural voice, he relaxed his throat, “and let noise come out of my face,” and spoke in his “unaffected” voice, which was much deeper and smoother. Folks in the comments thought his authentic voice sounded a lot more relaxed and natural than when he spoke in a higher register. “Your higher voice, actually gave me anxiety, your natural voice is so calming. I feel like you’re higher voice kinda almost put you on 10, so it put me on 10," Carlise wrote. “Sir, I almost choked on my lunch when that silk came out,” Sloan wrote. ## How to find your natural speaking voice - YouTube www.youtube.com To find your natural speech pitch, Ronja Petersen, a singing teacher on _Singgeek_, suggests starting by humming. "Most people, when they hum, when they're just like walking around your house, taking care of business, being happy, and most will actually hum right there on their natural speech pitch. If you start speaking around that pitch, you should find your natural speaking voice," Petersen said. In a similar exercise, Dr. Morton Cooper says that we can find our natural speaking voice by responding to a question with a natural, "Mmm-hmmm." With lips closed, respond to the following statement with a spontaneous "mmm-hmmm." "Dinner is my favorite meal of the day." It’s heartbreaking to consider that Daigle has spent all of his adult life speaking in a voice that isn’t natural, but his story also opens the door for the rest of us to think about the parts of our personality that are genuine and which ones were put on to please someone at some point in the past. We are all holding on to vestigial character and personality traits. My, how wonderful it would be if we could shed them and be one step closer to living a life of pure authenticity.

TikToker Reveals What His 'Real Voice' Sounds Like In Viral Video—And Explains Why He's Faked It For 30 Years Most of us have changed something about ourselves at some point in our lives, whether it was because someone made a cruel comment or because our inner people-pleasers thought that changing would make us more palatable to other people. But all those changes really did was put distance between us and our true selves, not to mention the pressure to keep up the charade. After thirty years, TikToker @timmaydgl revealed that the voice he'd used on his platform, which hosts nearly 55-thousand followers, was not actually his natural speaking voice. Rather, he reflected in his car, pensively fidgeting with the ear pieces of his sunglasses, when he first started going through puberty, his mother accused him of "mumbling." According to him, she brought up his mumbling in every conversation, at every chance she could, for several years—until he decided to do something about it. **In response to her ridicule, the TikToker would "speak up," but not "up" like louder.** > _"So I would speak up. I would squeeze my voice, I would speak up here [in this] register."_ About a year prior to this video, he said opened up to his partner about this, which prompted her to ask him what his voice actually sounded like. **His depiction in this video shocked some TikTokers.** > _"I did something that I had not done in my adult life, ever, about a year ago."_ > _"Which was to relax my throat... and let noise come out of my face... the way that it wants to come out of my face."_ > _"This is my unaffected, unsqueezed voice. This is what my voice sounds like."_ By the time the TikToker was done introducing his real voice, he spoke more slowly, appeared more relaxed, and sounded something like Benedict Cumberbatch when portraying _Doctor Strange_. **What he said next was both freeing and heartbreaking.** > _"I realized I have been speaking in that high, squeezed register my entire life."_ > _"Speaking, singing, acting, on the radio for several years, using that voice, and there's effort behind it."_ > _"But it's such a reflex that doing this [using his natural voice] right now almost feels like faking it. I promise you, I'm not; this is just not squeezing my chest and my throat to make my voice that higher register."_ **You can watchthe video here:** > @timmaydgl > > This was… an uncomfortable realization at first. Now, it’s just a fascinating piece of my personal history that I will DEFINITELY bring up in therapy one day when talking about how aggressively I will accomodate the people around me no matter how ridiculous their problem with me is. **Some fellow TikTokers were shocked by @timmaydgl's transformation.** @timmydgl/TikTok @timmydgl/TikTok @timmydgl/TikTok @timmydgl/TikTok @timmydgl/TikTok @timmydgl/TikTok **Others hoped he would pursue more opportunities in his natural register.** @timmydgl/TikTok @timmydgl/TikTok @timmydgl/TikTok @timmydgl/TikTok @timmydgl/TikTok This had to be so incredibly liberating, not only being encouraged by his partner to share his real voice but then having his voice celebrated among his followers online. We've likely all changed something about ourselves or "masked" when we're around certain people or in particular settings, and there's nothing quite like the freedom of living as our truest selves without being judged.

#Trump is a #babbling #idiot that you can mimick by #mumbling while rolling your finger over your lips. Honestly, he sounds like a #toddler with a deep voice.

Haven‘t been really happy with my art(style) for some time.
But since I started these „sketchy icons“ and the latest AT, I really like how it came out… plus a new brush.
So yes I think this is my way to draw and enjoy the most.
Even more excite to accept comms aaaa!
