disliking your own voice
whenever im in a club or loud music is on, no one can ever hear a word i'm saying. socialising in a club with loud music on the speakers, most people can still conduct some kind of a conversation. i can not and it really ANNOYS me. i really hate my voice. its so grating and deep

I hate my voice too...apparently my singing is sexy cos its deep (I think I put the voice on)...but my normal voice sounds young and not as deep. Although not high pitched...

I don't like my voice. But apparently it sounds nice when I speak French, so I guess there are tradeoffs.

That sounds kinda sexy.
Augh- I know what you mean; I absolutely hate my voice. What makes it worse is when we do orals at school for languages. I take both French and German for GCSE, which generate quite a few orals in total and they record them all.. when you hear yourself on the practice ones afterwards.. aughh it's horrible. 
I don't think there is a great deal you can do to alter the way your voice sounds, as I assume it's determined by your body and primarily the length of your vocal cords. Men generally have longer vocal cords and this makes the pitch lower. Your tone is also affected by the vocal folds, in combination with the teeth, the tongue, and the lips. So it's pretty hard to change I think.
Most people are sensitive about their voices- especially when they hear it played back to them for the first time, i.e. on an answering phone. But most people don't even consider other people's voices, so I wouldn't worry.

To get back to being helpful, rather than people going "oh my voice is rubbish 
" - often you will find that it's not just your voice but the way you project it that has an effect on how you sound. You could stand at the back of a large hall and shout, but if you don't "project your voice", no one will hear you. Then again you could stand at the back of the same hall and speak normally, "projecting your voice", and everyone would hear you. It's sometimes described as the difference between speaking from the throat (quiet, and also dangerous for your vocal chords if you're shouting) and speaking from your stomach. Sounds strange, but try it - speak from your stomach, it's not easy to explain, but you'll feel it in your stomach when you're doing it right. Then you don't need to shout - the words simply come out more audibly.

I hate my voice as well, apparently, it's really high-pitched. To me when I speak it sounds normal and quite low, but then when I hear my voice if its been recorded or something its like 
Exactly with me! I always thought I had a low voice, but when I recorded it, I had a pretty high voice. I don't think a lot of people like their voices. It just goes to show you that no one really is content with themselves 100%.
